Is there a better way of finding the path of a file that was opened with the open file dialogue? This is what I did. It works, but it seems like there should be a way to get the path through one of the open dialogue options.
Code:
'm_PicSource = OpenFileDialog1.FileName
'm_PicSource is a global var
Dim strCnt As Integer = m_PicSource.Length - 1

I in my project i have two text box and 1 button and 1 openfile dialogue Event on Command Button in textbox1 i want a file directory with the file name & extension, which i have done well (like C:\files\readme.txt) but in textbox2 i want only the directory of the same file, means under which directory it stored (like C:\files\)

View 2 RepliesSo I open files and do whatever with them right. I've set the initial directory to equal the last directory, but whenever I open multiple files, it never sets the directories properly. It acts as though nothing was opened there, so it takes the previous directory as the last one. Thoughts on what's not working? Here's the code.
Code:
With FileOpenDialog1
.InitialDirectory = LastDirectory
If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
[code]....
I have multiselect enabled earlier and everything else works but this. When you open a single file, the last directory works fine. It only happens with multiselect.On another note, does anyone know why it freezes when I try to do a lot of files and use another program? I opened 700+ files to see what would happen. When I switched to a IM convo, it froze. When I left it to run, it worked.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to get the file path that opened my application. So if I opened my application by making the text file open with my application, how could I get the file path of that text file? Lets put it this way, you have a text file. Ex: MyFile.txt, so when you click that it opens in NotePad and loads the text in MyFile.txt. How can I do that but just get the file path?

I've been doing a lot of coding latley and I'm interested in some things that vb can do. I was wondering if vb has the ability to search a directory for a file or mutipule files within a folder. Like in dos I can do C:user*.* and I can get all files that have . in them. Is there a similer way to do this in VB, I don't think VB has a wildcard or I've not heard that it does so I'm comfused on how I would find a file if I didn't know the path.

I suppose technically this isn't .NET specific but I suspect this is something to do with the registry and I'm using .NET!I'm trying to find out how to get the fully qualified path relating to a file type.For example, the system knows that to open a PDF file it needs to launch C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Reader 10.0Readeracrord32.exe
I've had a good long search through the registry and found a lot of references to the adobe path probably too many - and I've edited them to try and "break" the process so I can identify which one is used to discover the path but with no luck. I'm assuming this has something to do with HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?
how do i return the file path to a variable when using open file dialog to browse and open a file?
View 14 RepliesI have a WinForms application that I have taken over support for and it was build using Visual Studio 2005 with VB.Net. The application makes use of an Access database. It runs fine when it is installed as a standalone application, but the install cd for the application also allows for a network install and this is where I am currently encountering issues.
To test the network install I created a folder on my server (Windows Server 2003 SP2) and copied the Access database to this folder. I created a share for this folder and gave everyone full permissions to the share. Then on the workstation I installed the application and gave the path to the database as follows:
\myservermysharemydb.mdb
(The install steps here are as per the instructions given on the installation cd)The workstation that I installed it on is Windows 7 Ultimate. When I run the application, I get the error message given in the title when the application tries to read the database file. I have confirmed that I am able to write to the shared folder on the server, so I don't think this is a permissions issue. Also, the database file is not in use at all, so it is definitely not opened exclusively.
UPDATE:I have tested the workstation installation on a computer with a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 and it is able to access the database file without a problem. So it seems that this error that I am getting is somehow specific to Windows 7. Is there maybe a known issue with Oledb drivers on Windows 7? My version of Windows 7, btw is 32 bit.
I'm trying to get a save file dialogue to overwrite a file with the same name.

I keep getting an error saying "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application." Then the next paragraph says "The process cannot access the file 'E:Copy of Release+Fontsob.txt' because it is being used by another process."
The fact is I'm making an application, which users can install by using a Setup file...once installed the data in the database can be updated by a centralized server. To do this, they can insert a DVD/CD-ROM and export the necessary data towards it. I need to do it that way, because some of the users who really need this data will be using stand alone computers.The application gets it's data from a mdb-file and the connection remains open as long a person works with the application (maybe not the best way to do, but I know :-) )...when the user uses the application, he can perform an export...this exports the .ini-file and pictures (which works fine), but he also needs to export the mdb behind the application...I already tried connection.close() before and connection.open() after the System.IO.File.Copy...but that doesn't seems to work.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("<Full File Path>")
Only, I would like to place the pdf file in the project's folder and that would open wherever the project's folder is (on the Desktop, a USB port, anywhere).
1- How to get this relative path?
2- in which folder to put the pdf?
Is there a way to write a list of all paths and file names of currently open files. The best I can do is use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to grab the processes of the applications in which I am interested and then get the file name from the main window title for each process. There is no way to get the path for these files, however, with this approach.
