I am trying to make a program that is able to find out where it has been saved on the computer, and take that directory and save the output of the program, which is a text file, to the same folder that it is in.
I have already made it so that I can type in the directory in my code, but i want it to be more adaptable.
I am tryin to make a program that will create directory and also will create sub directory in that folder. The folder name has to be only numbers. this is what I have:
HTML
Public Class frmFolder
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
'Windows Form Designer Generated Code
[Code]....
I will also need to create security permissions for specific users so they are the only ones who can create folders on specific network drive and have a full control over that folder.

and i set the Credentials to DefaultCredentials Now, How would i scan the directories?
i've tried
for response as HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(request.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse)

View 5 RepliesI am developing a system where multiple client apps are going to communicate with a server app. I will probably use TCPIP classes to facilitate the communication.
However, is there a way that a client install can automatically discover the location of the server software on another machine?

View 2 RepliesI'm making a little application in visual studio which loads a ROM in an emulator. I have two emulators and 20 ROMs.I made a form and added a few buttons. When you click the Button it opens a new form and closes the old one. Then on the new form I have four buttons: each one loads a different ROM in an emulator. So when you press Button1 this code is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles yellow.Click
Shell("C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesEmulatorVBAVisualBoyAdvance.exe ""C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesRomsYellowPokemon Yellow.gb""", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
It works fine - I click it and it loads the game in the emulator. The bit im having trouble with is the file paths. If I send this application to a friend, it would still look for "C:UsersshiftyDesktop" - but that's on my computer, not his.Is there a way to make the application look for the file on his computer (without changing the file path to (C:Users""his user name""Desktop))

My problem is i have a method on deleting a file and copying a file, but i don't know how to pass the method so that when i click the delete button it would let me choose what file to delete. By the way im using buttons on each function.[code...]
View 2 RepliesI have a program where a lot of the required information for it is stored in text files. I simply read this information into large arrays. However, I don't think it's necessary to load all the information each time. Rather, it would be more efficient if I could simply search through a list of items to find the one I need and then use the data from it, or to find a similar name and use it elsewhere.
Would I be right in using a database? And is database programming done in SQL? I have a book on it telling me to use the SQL Server (IIRC), so I shouldn't be doing it in the VB.NET Express GUI?
Here's an example of what I would do:
Hex = 03 00 => dex number 003
Search in file Pokemon Dex Numbers
003 returns Bulbasaur
Check Bulbasaur base stats in the base stats file
etc
So basically I'm reusing a lot of information. I think a database would be best and it would all be internal right? I'm getting complaints about access denied to a text file (since it's stored in the program directory in the program files).
So to cap up the few questions I have:
-Databases are done in SQL and not inside the GUI?
-Databases would load internally?
-I could search a database without having to load it into like an array or something?
I would like to create my own application that will simply discover the wireless networks in the area, similar to how the wireless card software works. I don't really know where to start, except with maybe the System.Net namespace.

This has been irritating me for a good 2 hours now. I'm creating a simple application that takes each line in a listbox and creates a directory for each line. This seems so simple, but it's really annoying me. Once again, (just in case the above was confusing) I want to take ALL lines (each individual one) and create directories (folders) for each individual line in the listbox.

I'm making a map creator that chooses images randomly from various sets. What I'm trying to do is set up subfolders in Resources and put the different images in each folder - e.g., a folder for streets, a folder for monuments, etc. Then I just make an array of images out of the files in the folder, and pick one.
For some reason, I can't find a simple way of getting at the subfolders. I've tried using IO.Path.GetFullPath(My.Resources.ResourceManager.BaseName) and appending the folder name to the end of it, but no luck.
Is there some other way of getting the path? Is it even possible to use subfolders of Resources? Is there a better way of doing what I'm trying to accomplish? I'd really like to avoid creating the image arrays by hand.
