I have a server with a C: drive and a D: drive. My ASP.NET application is on D: drive as follows:

I developed a Visual Basic Program in my laptop. I can run the program form my C Drive and works perfectly.
Then I put the program in a Share Drive and:
1. If I run the program from my laptop but in the Share Drive I get this Error[url]...
2. If I run the program from my desktop and the Share Disk it is works perfectly.
3. If I run the program from a different user desktop and the Share Disk I get this error[url]...
I suppose it is a Security Issue or something like that but I am not totally sure and I do not know how to fixe it.
So I need everything from declarations of variable to the actual code.When you answer it in high level that destroys the chance of others answering the same.I would like to get the drive letter of where my application is started in VB2008.

I'm trying to learn Crystal Reports (VS 2005, VB) and per this question I was trying to drive the report with my own data objects instead of through a DB connection.
I found this tutorial and it looked promising as an answer to my question, but after diving in it only seems to apply to web development.
Am I out of luck in trying to power a Crystal Report with .NET objects in a standalone application?

I'm running the following WMI script to get the associations between drive letters and physical drives on the system, but for some reason it omits CDROMs/DVD-ROMs. Can someone tell me how to get those as well?
Code:
ComputerName = "."

("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=Impersonate}!//" & ComputerName)
Set wmiDiskDrives = wmiServices.ExecQuery _
("SELECT DeviceID FROM Win32_DiskDrive")

I have a program that allows the user to enter a drive letter into a text box. The program then takes the letter and find the physical drive number (i.e. deviceharddisk3..). It then stripes out everything and leaves me with the number 3.
In VB6 I used mDrive.bas from vbAccelerator.com and it worked perfectly. I have been all over the internet and back and cannot find a solution written in VB.NET.
I want to make a tool that will assign a USB pen drive a drive letter, I am using WMI to acknowledge the device being plugged in, I can pull the deviceID, name, etc now I just need to work out how to assign the device to a drive and I just cant figure it out
View 4 RepliesThe drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way to determine if a drive is local or a network drive?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the physical drive (device) number from the drive letter. If the user inputs the drive letter C the program will find the associated physical device number. For example if I input C then the result needs to be \Device\HardDrive1\... Some call it NT Device Name; I think. I have the code for VB6 from vbAccelerator, which works perfectly, but it does not work in VB.NET. My question is there a simple way of pulling the drive info that contains the drive letter and the physical device number. I have searched the internet and found nothing for VB.NET. I would post code but I have nothing for .NET.

View 14 RepliesI have a program I am converting from VB6 to VB.NET and I am stuck at the very last piece of code. I need to determine what physical device number is associated with the drive letter.
The program takes the drive letter from a text box and goes and finds the device number (i.e. deviceharddrive3...) and strips out everything leaving me with the devicer number; in this case the number 3. I have searched the internet to and fro and found nothing in VB.NET.
My program in VB6 uses a .bas module from vbaccelerator.com called mDrive.bas and works great. I can't figure out how to convert it over to VB.NET.
I'm creating a small program using Visual Basic 2010 Express. I'm planning to place the program on a CD, along with the files I want to run. The program will have command buttons, and each button will open a different file.For example, if there is a file on the CD named ReadMe.txt, the user will be able to open it using the program, which is on the same disc as "ReadMe", by clicking the corresponding button (or link) ("ReadMe".)The problem is, that I don't know what the CD drive letter will be. Is there a code to make the program run a file which is in the same location as the program?
View 4 RepliesI have been searching all over the forum and internet, but seems to have a hard time finding some help on how to search for a file at unknown location.
The reason is that, I made an easy form that helps some friends of mine find around a website more quickly.
Now this is what I want.
They have a game installed on the computer, and I want my program to search for this file and execute it afterwords.
F.eks
I have 4 HD's and WOW is on the 3rd. I want this software to search all the HD's to search for Wow.exe.
We have a shared drive which has a folder in which we programatically store the reports we create in MS Access. Sometimes the user will lose the rights to insert the files in (write access) to that folder. But we are not shown any system generated error messages for this while adiing the reports. At a lter point of time we will come to know that those reports were not saved.I am looking for a code to check whether we have the write access to the particular folder and if not, throw a suitable error message.

View 1 RepliesI need to detect if a file exists within drive C: but I do not know in advance in which directory it should be located so this means that I have to search the entire disk. Is there a way to perform this process directly (through an existing method for example) or do I have to write code for getting the directory structure and search each directory?

View 1 Repliesi was wondering if there is any way to read from a file in the application directory without specifying the drive letter. Here's what i have:Dim var var = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:appdirectoryfilename")
If i leave off 'c:' it looks for it in system 32 or something. why can't i just say
ReadAllText("filename")
i have done this a couple of years ago but i completely forget how i did it. I want a means of searching every file whether it be in sub folders, or sub folders of the sub folders and comparing the attributes of the file.
In other words, my program will search every file on the computer. For each file that it searches my program will attempt to io.file.readalltext etc.. the file. If the contents eqaul "....." then actions will hapen. If the file is greater then a certain size then actions will happen etc...
I want to see the attributes of each searched file, i will be using Dim FI as new FileInfo().
So how do i search each file in a directory? and all directories in the directory and so on?
I'm sort of new to the vb 2008, and I would like to be able to send a file to another computer and save it on the local drive. Doesn't have to be in any certain folder, but just on the c drive. I know for the old visual basic you would use winsock for this, but in 2008, they have removed it. What and how will I do this. There will be no program on the user's computer. This is done all from one computer sending to another with no program listening on it. This computer is on my network with network sharing, so I can just do like a \computernameorIPaddress and open send the file that way.
