I'm trying to make a custom skin maker for a program I'm working for. The concept is, you provide all the images needed for the program in a folder and then load that folder into the program which then sorts out each image in their respective areas. I know how to load files, but instead of making the user load the files one by one I'd like them to be able to load them from a folder.On a related note, I'd also like to know if it was possible to allow my users to move their controls around the program. For example, say they'd like their exit button in a different location as it'd look nicer with their skin, is there a way to allow them to move it? Particularly, it'd be nice to have a check box that enabled or disabled the ability to drag them around so they don't accidentally drag it when trying to click it.Also, how could I save their changes to this skin so it'd load up the same every time without overriding the default skin.
Finally, I have a piece of code that allows me to drag the form around as it has no normal border but I have a button that keeps it on top at all times, I'd like that button to also disable the ability to move the program while active and restore the mobility once clicked again. Here is the code used to move the program if that helps any.

Question: I use an embedded Firebird database in ASP.NET.
Now, Firebird has a .NET wrapper around native dlls.
The problem is, with the ASP.NET compilation and execution process, the dlls get shadow copied to a temporary folder. Unfortunately, only the .NET dlls, and not the native dll.
See [URL] for details.
Now, this makes it necessary to put the unmanaged dll somewhere into the system32 directory (or any other directory in the path environment variable).
Now, I want to change the wrapper/native dll (opensource), so it loads the dlls also if they are only in the bin folder.
Now, my problem is, how can I, in .NET, load an unmanaged dll from an absolute path ? The absolute path is determined at runtime, not at compile-time...
I have a simple question for you I think, but for me it bugs me a lot
So as the title says, I want to load a dll from a folder in my exe and use it's classes
How can I do that? like for example my app is named "run.exe" and I want at load time to load dlls from folder "resources" and use the classes from the dll's it "imported"
I'm making a simple app that will need some DLLs that I'm using, but I don't want them to be in the same place as the main exe.How can I make my app to load these dlls from a specified folder, like %mainappfolder%filesdlls ?
I would like to load a file from www and save it to folder. I am using Visual studio 2008 an VB in form aplication. So how to load a file from example www.test.gg and saving it to c:/myfolder/
I have a small databse program that retrives data from a csv file and he user can select different records based on a combobox selection. Now i want to be abeto display a picture for the record selected that is stored in the same folder as the csv file
Example: c:mydocumentsmydatafolderdatafile1
My program makes a connection to Datafile1 and within each record is a number example: 1234, 5678 etc.... Pictures are in the mydatafolder and have same name as the data record number
So record 1234 will have a picture called 1234
so i need my picturebox to get its image from the folder and match the file name based on the selected record If I am on the right track something like this PictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("C:WINNTSanta Fe Stucco.bmp")
However I need the file folder location to be based on what folder user selcted and the file name to be the name (number that is in record of database)
So if user is getting data from c:myfolderdatafolderdatafile3 and has selected record number 1234
The picturebox will get it image from the C:myfolderdatafolder and the file name will be the record number selected in this case 1234
this is the code i have on form load: textbox1.text ="C:Documents and SettingsOwnerDesktop"
here's the code to load the listbox:
ListBox1.Items.Clear() Dim filepath As String = (textbox1.text) My.Application.DoEvents() Try For Each file As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _
[Code]...
now what this does is load the files w/out the file path or extensions , but, it loads the files in the subfolders as well . i just need the desktop files to load in the listbox, not the subfolder files
I want a list of folder names, i want a list of the names so i can remeber what projects i have on the go. so example,lets say i have 3 folders in my on my desktop and the names are A, B and C i want get a list of theose names so i remeber what projects i have created.
If you don't understand ill try to re word it more specific

Okay I'm making a song organizer and I have a program that will load the files in a folder into a box and display the songs info into a list view. That part works fine but when you click the button to make it do anything it will get the variables that it need from the tags on the cells for each song but for some reason the one for the Album just disappears... I tried having it just show the value in a message box and it works fine. Just when I try to combine it with another variable then it wont show at all. Heres my code
i have a application that i designed for an assignment which uses a DB (ACCESS) However when i publish the application it fails to load even though the application completes. I have managed to find that it is the database that is not copying over, how do i solve this (the db is located when debugging and is also in the project files)
How can I do it so every time the user loads my application it will automatically (without prompt, or user selecting) upload all the files in a folder i select beforehand and add them into ListBox1
I have a program and have been trying to put it in to modules (instead of just one massive peice of code) and was thinking I could make some of it as "mini programs" and run them when needed.
1) Is that possable?
2) Is it a good idea? (the "mini programs" would not be needed to run the main program just used very rarely for changing setting etc)
When I publish my program, I can't see the folder that I have in my solution explorer appears together with other files. I have been wondering how to add a folder or I do it wrongly. I have using this method:-Project.. add... new folder and I name it as SC1. But when I publish it, I can't see in in application files(It's not embedded together). I can't use add existing as it required me to add a very specific files (Not a folder ). As what I can see, there is not specific properties for folder sc1 (build action /copyto output directory).
I am trying to develop a search engine in asp.net using lucene.net. I go through many tutorials and pages to get the appropriate results but i couldn't.Actually I have a folder with some files(doc,ppt,pdf,excel etc..) and i want to search within that folder only for contents and if the results are not found within that folder then ask user to search on web.
for example i have a folder with thousands of files @ C: est and if user searched for "miller" then it should search into every document. if results are found then it should display results like that[code]...
