How To Add The Path To The Folder And Database In .ini File
Jun 8, 2011
I have a windows service on a server which accesses a folder and database which is on different server. i was told to create an .ini file and add the settings here. so i have to add the path to the folder and database in .ini file, correct?
is there anything else which i should add in .ini file? is it compulsory to give the [section] in the .ini file? How can i access this .ini file from my vb.net program? can i store this .ini file anywhere on the machine or it should be stored in a particular folder?

I have a problem with the following snippet: (working on Visual Studio 2008, Net-Framwork 3.5, all Service-packs) Vb.Net.
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(cc + TmpName + cc, cc + OnlyName + cc)
Cc equals to Chr(34)
or also
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(TmpName,OnlyName )
The Problem occurs if in one of the Strings the Character ";" is embedded. Don't ask me why this Char is in the Filename - it is. An "Illegal Character in Path" exception occurs.

I have a project that is like a server and a terminal interface. the server is the one that can only make changes in the database and the terminal is more of storing what is in the database. here is the problem, i have stored a PDF file path in the database through the use of the server, but the problem is that i cant seem to display it on the terminal. i was thinking that the terminal was assuming that the file path was stored in its local hard drive. can u please help on how will i specify that the file path is on the local hard disk of the server and not on its local hard disk?

At the moment i have an access database file just sat in a folder on my employers server which every computer can see. We can all run an application i have done which we can add/update/delete records/rows on te access database.I was told that access can be temperamental if too many people are using it at once, and that i should look into changing it to a sql server database ? Can a sql database just sit independently like the access database and is it just similar code except for the connection ?

I have a very simple app (at the moment) that stores file names/paths and folder names/paths in an SQL database and displays them in a ListView and TreeView respectively. All fine and dandy.I have an option to remove a file or folder from the appropriate database table and then recreate the associated list.[code]I've checked and double checked the folder table adapter (even to the point of recreating it c/w Insert, Update and Delete commands) to no avail.

This is a messy way of updating my application but I don't have much other way I can think of doing it. Here is the background information:
My app does not use ClickOnce or any deployment other than just copy/paste the files into a zip and uploading on the web My app has a "update check" form which checks for strings on my website to compare current version with a newer version
Now basically, it downloads correctly. Nothing about that is the problem. I use My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile to do so.
Currently, the user downloads and has to REPLACE the file. Its not an update, its just an "updated" application. I'm not fully sure how I will go about proceding this later, but currently I'm trying to do the first part of my pseudocode below. Which is to get the application's path so that I can "replace" it later programmatically so that it performs a "auto-update".
Pseudocode of what I am trying to accomplish (anything in bold is what I'm trying to accomplish that I haven't already done):
Get folder path of application Download the app update with My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile download Extract this updated folder and replace the contents with the current folder path of the application.
I have the download aspect complete. As far as this question goes, how do I get the folder and replace the contents? As far as extraction though, what are your thoughts on the best method to extract and then replace?
