Aug 19, 2010
I am going to show you how to create a browsefolderdialog. All this does it popup to the user and let them choose a folder.
For this you need:
1 Button
1 Textbox
Double click your button and add in the
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim BrowseFolder As New FolderBrowserDialog
[CODE]........
This sets your textbox1.text to what ever folder is selected. After that you can do whatever you want with your selected folder. This is how it will work when you are done: [URL]

I created a Visual Studio 2005 application that works and installs on other user's computers, but not the way I want.
1. I want to create a single file that I can distribute to any user so when he clicks it, the application will be INSTALLED.
2. When it installs, it chooses to do in its own location. It does not give the user an option to save or install in a specific folder (where the application will be used because other files are there). How do i allow the user to save the the application in a specific folder?
3. I would like a single file that the user clicks to RUN the application. Is that the in*.exe?

i created a form with a combobox that lists out Assignments ( assignment 1, assignment 2, etc...)......what i need to do is let the user choose an assignment, then the program should look for the matching text file in a folder, ex: user picks assignment 1, and the program will read from assignment1.txt and display the result in a listbox. I have everything except the coding to match what the user chooses and the text file to streamread.

I have a usercontrol that has a popup that displays another usercontrol when the user selects an item from a listbox. When the parent initializes, all the usercontrols initialize.
<Popup x:Name="PopContactLogs" Width="670" StaysOpen="True" AllowsTransparency="True" PopupAnimation="Fade" PlacementTarget="{Binding ElementName=PageCustomerHome}" Placement="Center">
[Code]....
and it just keeps the original data in there. I'd really like to just reinitalize it every time and basically have a new webpart each time.

How can I allow the user to create a new folder and tell it where to be saved? I was thinking of using the savedialog but I don't know how to use it for folders instead of files.

I have a sub in my app that creates a folder called logs. I'd like to ask the user where they want to create the folder (explorer?) maybe even let them name it whatever they want. Also there will be text files created in that folder, so they will have to be saved in whatever folder the user creates.
Here's the sub.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnServerDiagnostics.Click
Using p1 As New Process
p1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
p1.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
[Code] .....

I have am Explorer form and I want to be able to use a treeviewNode and all of its contents to create a windows folder structure.Each Treeviewnodes would be used to create a folder.
The problem I have is that I am using a SaveFileDialog Form to allow the user to specify where the Folder structure should be created and it only accepts a file as input or end point.
How can I get the SaveFileDialog form to accept a folder, e.g the desktop, without specifying a document in the folder?

I have been trying for days now how to create a process to the user to easily create a connection to any installed data types they have installed. I have found an example right inside vb2008. I never use this because I code my own connections, but this would be real nice if I could include it or duplicate it.

I currently have a program that allows users to download files into a folder of there choice. I currently have 10 different forms all with a text box to show folder location and a browse button for user to find it, but what I want to do is create a form that will appear at the start where the end user can enter the folder location so that they don't have to enter the folder path for every download they want to do. How would I go about doing this I have a textbox, browse button and an OK button but have no idea what to do next.

I have an application that, when I finish it, will generate a graph of data drawn from a My SQL Database. It's going to be a simple time graph, with time on the bottom and a few stuff on the y axis.What I want is for the user to be able to enter the date. I would like it to be like a numeric stepper. Before I had two numeric steppers in the form but I decided one would be best.The idea was it would be like this: mm:hh [UP/DOWN ARROWS HERE]I saw one that was in use in an actual program. It had it so when you clicked the minutes, it selected the minutes and you could change them. The you could select the hours and change them. How would I do this?

Here is a simplified hierarchy of a application I want to create:
1. Mainform - here should be a navigation pane, where a user can choose which modul he wants to use.
2. Childform Reports, Childform Maintenance, Childform To Do, Childform Management, ... - depending on which modul of the program the user wants to work with, a proper childform will appear as the main working part of the application
3. Childform CostReport, Childform TurnoverReport, Childform EmployeesReport, ... - if user wants to work with Childform Reports (chosen in 2. paragraph) he can work with one of these childforms.
I wanted to do this with MDI childforms, but visual basic keeps telling me that a form can be a MDI container only as a toplevel, which Childform Reports isn't. So i can make the program till 2nd paragraph but when i want to make the 3rd, its a problem.
I put the error here: "Top-level style of a parented control cannot be changed.
Parameter name: value"
Is there a workaround?
Maybe i could use TabControl for the 3rd paragraph, but its not that convient, since I want to use more "tabs" or forms...

I'm relearning VB.net just for fun, so consider me new at this. I'm trying to write a program where the user can input a list of names or numbers, and the program will randomly pick one of those names or numbers. So far, I can get it to randomly generate numbers based on what I put in the code, but I don't know what I should use for the user to input the data, and how to code it so that the program will pick from that data.

I've written a program that brings up a form with some radio buttons for the user to choose.The form is setup by a sub in module1 (called Type2Q, shown below). For some reason, often radiobutton1 is checked when the question appears.I specifically set checked to false since I did not want this to happen. [code]
