View 1 RepliesVS 2010 :: Make An Application To Save Images [or Download Images] To Local Hard Disk
Aug 12, 2010I was thinking to make an app to save images [or download images] to local hard disk. But to keep it easy, I want this app to create a small picturebox on form to show the thumbnail of downloaded image. Lets say a 5 pictureboxes has to be added with the thumbnails to show the recent downloads. A user can save the location where he wants to save the files on hard disk. A listbox or a dropdown menu will help in categorizing the images, like image1 in friends section, image2 in family section, image3 in others, etc... When the program restarts all the latest 5 thumbnails has to be loaded in pictureboxes and the directory that was chosen. Finally, a button that shows the downloaded images into original image file size one by one or a slide show. Is it possible to make such program?

Also, on a slightly different topic (I didnt think it was worth starting a new thread for it), I need a program to start during the start up of the computer it is on, am I right in saying I need to create a shortcut (which I think is a .lnk file?) and then put that in the startup folder. I'm doing this in code, but I was wondering what information I need in the shortcut file.
Get The Disk I/O On Various Servers?
May 22, 2012I am using the following code to get the Disk I/O on various servers. For now I am just retrieving the DiskReadsPerSec to get a feel for it. The return data gives a uint32 for each drive on the server and a total. My questions is what is the time frame that this represents? Is this at the second that my code polls the drive or is this over the last few seconds or do I need to do multiple runs to get an average.
My intention is to build a graph for each drive so I wonder how often I need to poll the drive to get a acurate value.

View 1 RepliesGet The HDD Disk Drive Information?
Mar 3, 2010I am trying to get the HDD Disk Drive information from the DeviceIOControl(,,,,,) function with IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX control code.
Here are the problems :
1. The DeviceIOControl function returns(as from output buffer) DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure. Which contains some data types i am unable to get. I used. Uint32 instead of Dword. Long instead of Large_Integer.
2. DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure contains a union declaration as mentioned on MSDN , HOW TO GET A UNION in VB.NET or vb 6.
3. Still when i tried declaring the data types as mentioned earlier gives an error (Value does not fall within the expected range.) executing the DeviceIOControl Method.

View 1 RepliesGenerate A Virtual Disk / Path?
Mar 26, 2009Is there some way to generate a virtual disk/path?My application needs to generate a lot of temporary small files, edit them, write to disk, execude old executables in Fortran, and read the text files outputs.I cannot choose to avoid the fortran, because is out of my power to decide it.all that I/O is really expensive, because disk access is slow. But all the files involved are really small (including the executable), so they may fit on a few megabytes of RAM, and I have gigabytes of RAM available (RAM is really cheap today).Worse, I cannot parallelize, because it forces me to multiply I/O operations (I need to create, edit, and delete lots of small files).The perfect solution would be to have a small virtual disk in memory.I cannot use a virtual PC software, because users would have a hard time installing it (they have problem using windows explorer even to do simple tasks).
