Get Around Of The Apparent Issues Of Using The Basic File Saving Dialog?
Sep 28, 2010
Is there any way I can get around of the apparent issues of using the basic file saving dialog to at least allow another way to save files from my program?What I am talking about is possibly a way to be able to drag something from the program to somewhere on the PC saving it there. I know of a few possible ways to get this done already but the ones I know of aren't exactly great, I could stick with the basic save file dialog but it's a bit slower than you could likely do with simple drag & drop file saving, while then I have to do my own code so files that are allowed to be named to have the special characters like "?" which aren't allowed in filenames in windows will be replaced with different characters instead.
Whenever I modify a file in the IDE in Visual Basic Express 2008, and then press the "Save" or "Save All" button, the "Save As" dialog opens, then says that a file of that name already exists and requests confirmation of the save. This didn't happen in Express 2005 as far as I remember.
I could find on using the SaveFileAs Dialog control would get the part where the code should be to actually write the file to disk, and there would be this comment:
'insert code to write file here
or something similar. So anyway, I thought this might be of use to someone else in a similar situation. This is what I came up with to finally "save" a file with the SaveFileAs Dialog. In this situation, I wanted to save the current document of the WebBrowser1 control via the SaveFileAs Dialog when the user clicked the btnsave button...
Private Sub btnsave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnsave.Click Dim saveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog()
I am a newbie trying to make a application but i am having difficulties. No matter what i do i cannot get the open file dialog and the one fo saving to work. I just want them to open and save ones a web browser usually can do. I have tried so much but can't figure out what to change when i look at other people's stuff on this and other sites.
I'm trying to code some programs and i want to use something called " (its in the dialog menu) FileOpen.dialog" i think thats what its called. Anyway i was seeing that if i just clicked on the OpenFile dialog it wouldn't open the file. So i knew i needed a code. I just dont want the OpenFile dialog i was just using that for example.
For my program I've developed the code so that when I click a button a textfile automatically opens without the dialog and shows in the textbox;
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C:ContactsCornwall.DOOS" If System.IO.File.Exists(FILE_NAME) = True Then Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader(FILE_NAME) TextBox1.Text = objReader.ReadToEnd objReader.Close()
However, can this be done for the Save function aswell, so that when I click Button 1, the file automatically saves to C:Cornwall.DOOS instead of having to use the Save File Dialog
I have an assignment due this week in which I have to make a app that has 5 buttons and a picture box. When each button is clicked it has to show the corresponding picture in the picture box, the fifth button closes the app.
I have the whole form set up the way it should be, but I have no idea how to write the code to make the buttons display the images and close the app.I have the images in a folder within the project folders.
I have yet to be able to find one, the one I found should how to do it using a file opener dialog and a folder browser dialog but that is not what I think my prof wants us to do, as that is more for a picture viewer app that lets the user choose the file of the image they want ot view.
All i want is for the buttons to be linked to specific photos that are part of the application itself and have them open.
when the user runs the program for the first time, it will ask for his name. After his name has been entered and he clicks Ok, the main menu comes up. From there he can click Start to begin the first level of the game. After he finishes that level, I want the application to save his progress so it knows what level he last finished. Then when the user decides to quit the application entirely and restart it, I want the application to skip the name dialog and go straight to the main menu since he already has a saved game. Then when he clicks start, it will start off with the last level he finished.
I also added an option in the main menu where the user can reset all his data. So next time the application starts, it will ask for his name as if it was starting up for the first time.
I am using VS2010 and .NET 4. My form has a DataGridView (dgvTest), and a checkbox (CheckBox1). I am selecting 2 or 3 fields from a table, depending on whether the checkbox is checked (which it is initially). My possible SQL statements are "SELECT ID,strForenames,strSurname FROM tblAlumni" and "SELECT strForenames,strSurname FROM tblAlumni".
I have used SQL Profiler to confirm that these are the queries sent to the DB. All seems well when I load the form (I see 3 fields, in the order I expect), and when I uncheck the box (I see 2 fields, in the order I expect). However, when I check it again, the ID field appears THIRD in the columns of the DataGridView, not first! I have found a couple of reports of something similar to this (mis)behaviour on the Net, but folks just seem to find some other way to do the job rather than ask is this a problem with DataGridView that needs fixed.

do your experts agree this is a bug? The "fix" is to wipe the DataGridView between repopulations, but I'm not sure I should have to?
My problem is fairly simple. What my code is doing to start with is opening the form by loading a bunch of things from a database. After all the questions are done (because it is a questionnaire) it is meant to save the current score and the username that was entered before, for the sake of programming I have hard-coded a username and score however I think because I am using a different command builder it keeps giving me the same error!
(I am studying A-Level so that might explain the simplicity of the code)
Public Class AdditionTest Dim inc As Integer = 0 Dim con As New OleDb.OleDbConnection
I have a problem where a form is closing when it shouldn't be. I just don't see why this is happening so I hope someone can see the obvious error that I'm missing.The user is on a form called frmPersonalAddress. If he clicks on a button labled "Add Children", he will open a new form, using the .showdialogue method called frmChildren.FrmChildren contains several text fields that may be filled and a single CLOSE button. When closing, the program will examine the fields. If it finds an error, a Messagebox will display with the error and the form should remain open. If there are no errors, the form will close
I am trying to Save my data into Local Database (*.SDF or *.MDF) but i due to some reasons i can not do it. I have seen 100s of Video on it and tried all possiable ways, but still my data is not saving into Local Database. and i do not get any error messages. However i can save my data into SQLEXPRESS database. i am using Visual Stodio 2008.
So I am trying to change the directory where the files are beeing saved. I've made a file where the location is saved. But for some reason, when I have saved the new location and restart the application, the file is is cleared, leaving it empty.
Show Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
I have created an authentication system in the Server that verifies the user exists and password is valid. Here's the code I use for checking a Connect:
vb.net Private Sub messageReceived(ByVal sender As ConnectedClient, ByVal message As String) If message <> String.Empty Then Me.Invoke(New WriteLog(AddressOf WriteMessage), String.Format("Message: {0}", message)) Me.Invoke(New WriteLog(AddressOf WriteMessage), String.Empty) Me.Invoke(New WriteLog(AddressOf WriteMessage), String.Empty) 'A message has

Basically, I follow through the code and I do receive the user list and it is created as needed. But the GUI thread still remains locked up and I don't know why.
I have an application that has a treeview in the MDI parent form, there is a button1 that adds a child node to the treeview and a mdichild form for that specific treeview child node. i would like to know if it is possible to save the trevview and the MDi child forms to a single txt file or csv file no matter how many mdi children and treeview child nodes are poduced.
Currently I am saving data from my applications by saving a text file via a stream reader as a string. I have come to a problem. In my current application, I have an array of the following structure:
Using the following If GeBrowse.DownloadString("URL GOES HERE").Contains("CHECKS FOR TEXT HERE.") Then Something goes here If there is no apparent internet connection, how would i create an error handling Message box or something of the sort?
I need a code for the open file dialog that if a file is not supported then a message box appears stating the error. This is my open file dialog code. [code] The message box pops up like it is suppose to, when you click ok the open file comes back up like it is suppose to. When you put in the correct file the message box comes back up again. Also the message pops up even if the correct file is put in the open file. but if you close the file dialog the image is where it is suppose to be.I believe the code for the public sub wrongfile is what is the problem. can some one look it over and let me know what changes are needed.
I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder dlg.FileName = sProjectName & ".docx"[code]......
I am writing a Windows Form program to automatically download and store generated PDF reports from a web site using the WebBrowser Control. The web site uses Ajax to link an icon back to the source aspx file which then returns a PDF file.
The problem I have is that the WebBrowser control brings up the File Save As dialog box when the PDF file is returned and I can find no way of handling this to cature and save the returned file. I have found other examples of how to manage this using the Navagating event to validate the extension of the file that is being accessed (e.g. [URL] and, if not an HTM, file then use the HTTP Web control to directly download the file. Unfortunately this will not work as the call references a .aspx page.
code snippet that would allow a progress bar to track the input of a text file? Normally I would not bother with this, but the text files are > 10,000 lines long, which is noticable even on a fast machine. The number of lines is variable, so I would assume that one would not use a fixed value to calculate when the progress bar goes 100%.
I need to create a dotNet saveAs dialog, but I need to populate the file formats in the dialog. After the person have selected a file, it must connect that to a file format that I populate into the SaveAs command in the Excel Interop. After the Interop SaveAs command, I must check if the file have been saved correctly.
