I have developed a system to update various programs. I put the programs updated into a particular folder of my site and Users can launch their update program to download and update their application.
The user interface has two progress bar, one for the single program in download and the second for the total download.
For calculating the total amount of bytes for the second progress bar I need to know the dimension in bytes of programs and files to be downloaded before start downloading. See the attached code.
For that I read, in remote mode, the size of all the files checked and I obtain the total amount of bytes.
All works fine with various type of files (.EXE - .DOC - .JPG - .TXT etc).
The problem arises with the Crystal Report file (.RPT).
The error 404 occurs but the file exists, the server WEB is active and the other files of the list are summed. If I compress the same file in .ZIP all works.[code]...

View 1 RepliesI am developing an Application in VB.Net 2.0. I have a module which would copy files from the Local Machine to a shared folder on remote machine. This shared folder on the remote machine is an authenticated folder. So, after searching on the Internet I found the following piece of code.[code]Another point to note is that when I connect to the File Share using Windows Explorer and then try to execute the application, it works properly.I am not sure why I am getting the error when I do not connect to the Shared Folder using Windows Explorer.Do I have to set some property so that the Credentials passed in the authentication are used.I also checked some posts that suggested setting up Mapped Drive to the Shared Folder on the Local machine and then to copy the file using IO.File.Copy function. However, I cannot use this as this Remote Folder should be only accessed through the application and not in any other case by the User. The users will not even have the credentials to this remote Server as it will be configured by the admin.So, Is there any way in which I can set this up and transfer the files from local machine to a remote shared folder?
View 3 RepliesNow all went well about from using the structure correctly. The working of the structure was perfect. How ever i missed Two important issues. The structure needed a fixed size of 10 items (9 in programming terms starting from 0) And also out of the 5 items allowed to be chosen as one of the member types for the structure a limit of 5 items of that particular type.

I like to compress the xmldata before the data is provided to the client as an excel file. I am trying to compress and deliver it as a .zip file. its not working Here's my code below. I tried compressing it, converting it to bytes etc etc. The issue with below code is, the XSL transformation is not happening properly and the output excel file is raw xml with some .net exception at the end. (that's what I see on the .xls file that's downloaded at the end) Before I started working on compression my below code was working fine that gives properly formatted excel file from the xml input. the excel file is so nice you can't even tell it was from XML.

Language: vb.net
File size: 1GB, and stuff.
Encoding of the text file: UTF8 (so each character is represented by different numbers of bytes).
Collation: UnicodeCI (when several characters are essentially the same, the most popular version will be the one unique.). I think I know how to handle t his one.
Because each character is represented by different numbers of bytes and each line has different numbers of characters, the number of bytes in each line also vary.
I suppose we have to compute hash for each line. We also need to store buffers location where the line each. Then we have to compare buffers. Then we will check whether the same line shows up or not.

I'm working on a school project right now and I have everything fine except this one part of the project: "The audit and errorevent logs should be archived if they are larger than 5K and up you need to keep up to 3 copies of the files." I know how to read and write text files just fine, so I don't need help with that. What I don't know is how to archive a file based on file size, or how to keep up to 3 copies of the files?

When I attempt to copy the file, the method throws an UnauthorizedAccessException exception, which is understandable because I am not able to supply logon credentials.

I have built this utility to upload/download files to an FTP server with a few options which will be taken from a command line. One of the options is going to be rename file. But this would be done on the remote side.
Basically, only tmp files will not be caught has hazardous on this FTP site during upload. So the file gets uploaded as tmp and will need to be renamed to .zip and vise-versa.
I know how to do this locally as it is not hard to use the moveto function, but how would I do this assuming, the ftp stream is already opened and read/write access is properly granted?

copy a file to a remote target where UNC connections TO the target might not be possible.However UNC connections FROM the target and BACK to the server will always be possible. So the plan was to use WMI to start a remote command shell (cmd) and use the copy command to grab the file. But this doesn't work. The following command works fine when executed manually from the command line of the target:
