I've one VB.net 1.1 based windows app. I recently added the app.config files. In code it works fine. But, when I compile the application, VS 2003 doesn't generate the appname.exe.config.(I read on google) I manually copied the app.config file to the Release folder. But the code is giving error that the file doesn't exists.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False

Im trying to write to a file I created and place "Unregistered" in it. Thought it would be a simple task but keep getting an error. Its happening when I try and open the file to write. This is the error: Access to the path 'G:\Projects\Project\pbss\bin\Debug\5\pbssv\Data.DB' is denied.
Ive tried adding the file attributes to read-write and still get the same. Most of the code ive looked at via a google search points to the same as ive got for the Added default value area. Im not sure if there is a conflict between the 2 different ways im accessing the file when creating and writing too? [Code]

im trying to make code to check if a file with the same name exists twice in the same dir one with .dds and one with .veh file extentions and if they do put in a listbox but if only one exists then it puts it in another listbox i have made code to filter .dds in to one listbox and .veh in another but i dont know how to make the "check" if they are both there
this is the code i have to split them at the mo
For Each files In dir
Dim path() As String = files.Split("\")
Dim chunk As Integer = path.Length

but i wanted the Else for the .dds files that dont have the matching .veh file
OK, hi. what i'm trying to do is ultimately detect wheather a word doc exists. I don't want to open it.hat it's going to do is detect if the file exists.

Have only just started trying Visual Basic after using Delphi almost ever since it first came out. How on earth do I see if a file exists? - simple terms please
View 2 RepliesI have the following
If Dir("C:Test.txt") <> "" Then TextBox1.Text = "File exists" Else TextBox1.Text = "File does not exist"
End If However, I'd like to use this alongside a DataGridView.
Basically, when the application runs, the user selects a folder for file storage. Then, in the DataGridView, the contents in each cell of Column 1 become the file name. In short, the contents of a cell, plus the selected folder for file storage, becomes a whole file path.I need to use the above code to get my application to check if the file exists, and if it does, it should place the text "File Exists" in column 2 of the DGV.
I can't work out a way for the DGV to be "continually aware" if files have been created and so to update automatically without the user having to press buttons etc. As soon as the file exists, the correct text should be placed in Column2.
In my vb.net winform application, I am moving the file (ex: sample.xls from one folder to another. If file already exists with the same name, the new file name should be incremented (ex:sample(1).xls). How can i acheive this?
View 1 RepliesI have a method which tests for the existence of a file prior to carrying out some manipulation of file content as follows:
[Code]...
The idea is that if the file does not exist, then the file is generated by calls to the NLog logger instance, at which point the file is created and the specified header info is inserted. The method works fine from the application itself, however I have a simple NUnit test which implements a test method to verify that the file is created and populated as expected. When I step through with the debugger, I find that '_logPath' is set to:
D:Documents and SettingsTE602510Local SettingsTemp

Unfortunately, despite the fact that the file DOES exist, the call to File.Exists returns false. From earlier viewing of the config path the above path would appear to be correct for these NUnit tests. Does anybody have a clue what is happening here and what I need to do to get the desired result? The pathname to the log file as per the XP file system is:D:Documents and SettingsTE602510My Documents_VSSWorkAreaPsalertsIpTestsinDebuglogs

Here's my code:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Main
Private Sub Main_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
I haven't used System.IO before, and I'm a little stuck.I need to check if a file exists, for example C:Documents and SettingsverraineDesktopSURNAME Firstname v1.docx, if this file exists the filename has to become v2, and so on. Usually there will only be a v1, but in the case that a clients position changes we have to be able to save the new version without overwriting the old one.
How would I be able to do this efficiently? I'm uncertain to say the least. Because, if I manage to find out how to save the file as a different number, that's alright, but if that next number exists as well? I can only think of ways to do this that require a lot of code.
