I have a Access program and I'm using VBA code in the background to run Winunzip using shell command. Well, the path of the .zip file has spaces in it and it's not recongizing the path as a valid path. Is there a another way to tackle this problem besides the shell?I can't us pkzip either. Has you can see I had to use progra~1 instead of Program Files.[code]
I am having a big problem with deleteing a file form the server. I have the filename for a image stored in my SQL database. the problem is i am getting an error of "Illegal characters in path. " Here is the code below:Everything is working fine until the delete command.
Protected Sub DeleteButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Dim tmpEquipID As String = Request("EquipID") Dim tmpImageID As String = (CType(FormView1.FindControl("ImageIDLabel"), Label).Text) Dim d As New equippicsDataContext
My thought is to use CreateFile from kernel32 and check for sharing violations. I believe this will work because I watched the file system activity with Process Monitor while issuing a rename command from CMD that I knew would fail and the last activity was a failed CreateFile call that resulted in a sharing violation.This is the Process Monitor information on the call.
Desired Access: Read Attributes, Delete, Synchronize Disposition: Open Options: Synchronous IO Non-Alert, Open Reparse Point Attributes: n/a ShareMode: Read, Write, Delete AllocationSize: n/a
Using this VB code, I produced a call which gave the same information in Process Monitor but did not cause the sharing violation.
CreateFile(theDirectoryPath, _ FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES Or DELETE Or SYNCHRONIZE, _ FILE_SHARE_READ Or FILE_SHARE_WRITE Or FILE_SHARE_DELETE, _
[code]....
The constants are pulled from various MSDN and pinvoke.net sources.If I call the above code recursively on all subfolders it will eventually cause the sharing violation, but when CMD refused to rename, it did not recurse. Yes, I know I could just try and catch the exception. But the point at which I want to know if the directory can be renamed and the point at which I want to rename the directory are not the same.
I'm using Linq to SQL, which generates partial classes and partial methods. You then extend that generated code by implementing your your customizations manually in another partial class. One of the hooks L2S gives you is the ability to implement partial methods that get called when a property changes. For example, if you have a property named "MyProp", then you can implement a partial method like so:
when you start a new projekt, vs2010 makes a new folder for the projekt. when i reach a certain point in my projekt i want to save that version of the projekt.
what i do is make a new folder and copy that projekt to it. projektfolder2 . when i start the projekt in the new folder the sln doesnt work anymore. the vbproj works then. and vs 2010 makes a new sln file one directory down of the old one between the other projekt files.
I am writing a program to do backups and it will have syncing capabilities. It will be similar to Microsoft's SyncToy but it will have much more flexibility and "group" backup options etc.I am using VB.Net 2010 to write the program. The problem I need help with is the efficient comparing of a source file to the destination file when the only difference between a file is the name. (Working on the "Contribute" method of syncing a folder")In other words if I have a backup folder with a bunch of backed up files and folders from a master source folder and I change the name of one of the files in the master folder, but do nothing else to it, how can I tell that the renamed file is the same as the original named file in the destination folder. In this scenario I would want to rename the destination file to the new name it was given in the master folder instead of just copying the renamed file to the back up folder and ending up with duplicate files of different names needlessly.
I have made the bad mistake of renaming FORM1 directly on the Solution explorer with the result of me unable to open the form in both designer and code.
The error is:
The Form1.vb does not exist. It may have been renamed, moved or deleted
I am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf" Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf") Response.WriteFile(FilePath) Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?
Well im making a program that will Add the Safe File Name of the File opened in the Open File Dialog to the first column of the listview and the File name and path to the second. What i want it so when i double click on the Safe file name it will open the file specified in the path in the second column.i already got the add file to it.
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.

I'm working on a personal project and so far everything is going perfect. Almost. I have a problem with getting music file info based off of its file path. I.e. "
C:UsersUSERetc." The only things I would need from y'all would be how to get the song's Artist(s) and Name (maybe there's something similar to 'AxWindowsMediaPlayer.currentMedia.getitemInfo("Information")' without actually having to play the song?
After I get this information, I would like to know how to add it to a ListBox as this: "[Artist] - [Song Name]", but I can do the text part if I know the getting-the-information part and adding-the-info-to-listbox part.

I have existing file named myapp.exe.config . What I would like to do is have a little app where user could specify path to app database. I know how to get file path but I dont know how to change existing line in myapp.exe.config file. No changes during runtime. Just simple app to change string in app.config file.
