View 2 RepliesI have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?
Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments + "MyApp")
If dir.Exists Then
Else
dir.Create()
End If
I tried the above code and also this: Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New

I have a button inside a one of my forms which contain a lot of coding and normally a lot of variables declaration.
Is there is a option/add-on that I can use/set that enable me to display all the variable used inside the sub or function I am currently working in?
All I can find is add-on to display the Properties/Methods and only Public variables inside the form or inside the class. but I need to list the local variables also.
how to copy, delete, show files, show current directory, change directory, make folder, rename folder. My problem is i have a method on deleting a file and copying a file, but i don't know how to pass the method so that when i click the delete button it would let me choose what file to delete. By the way im using buttons on each function.[code...]

I have an ACCESS database containing VBA code residing on a USB drive in a directory called 'collect'. When the application runs the code uses a DLL that is in the same directory as the application. The code in the DLL is VB.NET.
The DLL is declared :
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "x:collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
This works fine but it only works when the USB drive is mapped to x:
The follwoing which I expected to work does not
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "wcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
and neither does
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
I want to save the directory that a user chooses when they open a file with the OpenFileDialog. I currently have
FileDir=My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory
after the open dialog, and this works ok in Windows XP. But on Windows Vista this seems to give the Application (.exe) directory, whihc is not what we want.
Im looking for a way to get the parent directory of a file. Ive tried using Directory.GetParent() but its not doing what i want it to do. For example lets say i have 3 files:[code]I want to get "Test" and not "C:"Its probably simple but as usual im overthinking and made no progress for 2 hours now and its frustrating.
View 6 RepliesIn html it's easy to get a button to get an file on your local hard drive but I can't seem to find or remember how to do it for a VB application (using Visual Basic 2010). What I would like is for the button to find a local directory, select it and then add the address to a textbox.
View 1 RepliesI can reference the local (generic) data directory for an SQL file as follows:
Dim
T01Database As SqlCeConnection =
New SqlCeConnection("Data
Source=|DataDirectory|Test File.sdf")
I get a "file not found" error when trying the same syntax for referencing an Excel file:
Dim
T01Workbook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook

correct syntax for referencing an Excel file in this manner?

In one of the blogs I saw this peice to change the current directory. But I am not sure where to place this code.
System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)
I am after the one which is most used. A number of ones I have come across are:
CurDir
Environment.CurrentDirectory()
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
Application.StartupPath (this one doesn't work for me, missing a library?) I am using it to save a file, for argument sake, "test.txt"
I'm making a Windows Forms application and I am about to publish it to a ClickOnce to distribute on a CD.
