Make Default Opener For .txt Files - Seems Like The .exe Of My Installed Program Doesn't Exist
Mar 4, 2012
I have recently published a simple text editor(just as an exercise). the editor has been published using Microsoft Visual Basic Express. Once the program is installed i wanted to make it a default opener for .txt files, so i clicked openwith ->Choose default program and then i was asked to show the location of the .exe. It seems like the .exe of my installed program doesn't exist. where the .exe is on a windows7 or tell me of another way of makeing that program the default opener.
I am deploying my application on a 64 bit windows 7 system (setting the platform property to x86) , after the installation process the app needs to set its connection string in the config file; and this is where I am having issues, the app is not able to write to the config file if/when its located under the program files directory (no admin privileges??), the app works fine when installed on a public folder.Please let me know how to give admin or write access to my app when its installed to the default program files directory
I have a VB project that I created a simple setup project to deploy. It installs fine except for one problem. It crashes because it can't read its own application directory. Included with the program are an xml and schema file that it needs to read when starting.dditionally it may create a log file, also in its application directory. Either of these will return errors under the default install. This was not an issue when running the program in VS and if modify the program to work with another directly like C:Temp. I have a workaround in which I change the permissions of Users group to Full Control for the application directory
I am just trying to learn Visual Basic in 2008. I need some help theory about dll and ocx files. I have seen videos tutorials, and in some of them they use some additional files. i.e. MSwinSck.dll, or DVD .dll ect. But lot of these files does not exist in my program, noone is telling about these files and where to install them or how to get them.
i have a audio program that will play some mp3 files from a folder. but the audio files together take up about 1 gb. it is possible to let my program download the files from the internet after it is installed on a computer. to a specific folder..?
i want to make a simple program where i can add/edit or delete a shortcut from an installed programs in my computer.
let say c:program filesmicrosoft officeoffice11winword.exe.
the purpose of this is i want some of my selected programs to be in a single window where i can click to open so i don't need to go to start then programs and open that specific program.
i want to run that program in startup so everytime i start my computer the shell or the program is already running and i could click the program that i want on that window.
Is it possible to open a file with the default program installed on Windows ? Lets say we have the exact location of the file on the hard disk and it is a *.pdf file , how can we give the order for that file to get opened by the default program ? In case it matters , I want to open *.pdf and *.doc files . It doesn't matter which program exactly will load the file , the default is fine by me .
i want to write a program and set it as default to open .txt files so when i double click on a text file that it opens in that program and displays the text into a RichTextBox

i make a web browser program. how do i make default my web browser program? simple. if internet explorer is default, all web pages start automaticly with internet explorer. how do i make default my web browser program with VB code?
How do I make a program a default program for a file? As in if I had just a basic .txt file editor, I could make the program the default program for the extension .txt. I have tried just doing it in Default Programs, in Windows 7, and Windows XP. But when you click on the file it opens the program, but does not load the file. I plan on actually releasing the beta 2 a Office Suite I created.
I have a Windows Form in which I started two threads and then close the form and threads continue their works.

I have been trying to build the "Testing a class lesson, but the Set as StartUp Project line in the Project menu does not exist! I have redone the entire project 7 times, always the same response! # different computers, all with registered versions of VB. Why does this problem persist?
i read that WindowsFormsApplicationBase, is in the Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices namespace
Do I have to really add the full-blown Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices just to get WindowsFormsApplicationBase in c# ? What's the consequence on the size and performance of my c# app if I do so ?
It was there in VB 6. I have some images that I'm going to use a buttons, and I did this in VB 6 with the image control. however, this control doesn't appear to exist in VB.NET 2008 Express. I guess I could use a picture box, but isn't that overkill for such a simple task?
when people first run my program (as in the FIRST EVER time they run it), I want a window to popup (Form4). In this Form you have to locate a directory to a certain program (my program uses this program) and press OK, and then that will generate a .txt file with the directory to the program. (So that my program knows where that program is located.) Now, what I want it to do is when you open up the program, upon load (Form1), I want the program to check if that text file (directory.txt) exists. If it does and the path in the file is correct, the program will run fine. If the text file is missing and/or the directory doesn't exist, it will bring you back to Form4 (assuming that this is your first time running the program since the directory.txt file doesn't exist).
I want a message box to show when a username doesn't exist. I figured this would work but an error shows saying 'FileNotFoundException was Unhandled', for the fist line.
Dim UserFile As New System.IO.StreamReader(sPath & "" & UsernameBox.Text & ".txt") Username = UserFile.ReadLine Password = UserFile.ReadLine
I'm trying to use a single event handler for several controls in an ASP.NET web page. I would like to add the event handler at runtime if and only if it doesn't already exist. In C#, I would write it as seen below:
if (myTextBox.OnTextChanged == null) myTextBox.OnTextChanged += DoTextChangingValidation; Likewise, I know I can remove the event handler as follows: if (myTextBox.OnTextChanged != null) myTextBox.OnTextChanged -= DoTextChangingValidation;
I am trying to add a registry key in to the file "MyApp" which doesn't yet exist in the registry key directory, when I try and write this key however I get an error from the debug console telling me the "NullReference was unhanded". If I go and manually make this folder it works brilliantly, I thought that this code would make the folder as well?
What i need is, if a item in a listbox Doesn't exist, it needs to remove it from the other.
In the pic i have attached. Basically If it doesn't exist in Listbox2 then it needs to be removed from Listbox1 and tell the user which one has been removed.
i.e Test 02 doesn't exist. So messagebox would show "test02 has been removed" then remove it from listbox 1
It probably something simple thats sitting in the back of my mind, but for the life of me can't figure it out lol
I'm copying code from one VB project to another PC but the 'datagrid' on the copy insn't inserting into the new PC. When the form loads the datagrid is missing. The error I got was that there was something missing from the machine. When I tried to add the datagrid using the 'Additional Controls' it doesn't seem to exist. Any chance I can download the control? The version of VB is 6.5 and its part of a graphics package I'm using.
Mine is a simple conexion problem but I dont understands what's happening I have another form in the same project which has no problems at all, I desided to create a form to use it as a base form named plantillav only to duplicate forms and intance the others from that one I put it's Modifiers Property = Protected in ortder to modify property values in the other ones I don't know if the process generated a failure.
I created the following strconn:

This table was exported from phpmyadmin (wamp) so it means is created and even with registers inserted directly from console, the problem is when I send from the application, with the following error that indicates that the name of the field doesn't exist or is not well written; Unknown column 'code_empleado' in 'field list'.
In this code block, the datarow gets the row number of the username that was used to log into the system with, right? And in this code, if there is a username/password that was matched with in the database, it'd place it on the dbUsername/dbPassword variables and compare it with the ones that were inputted by the user.What if I wanted to know if there is none of that username (like, username doesn't exist from the database)? I tried inputting login info that doesn't exist in the database and it resulted into the following error:An unhandled exception of type 'System.IndexOutOfRangeException' occurred in system.data.dll
Im developing a program that adds any number of tabs for each directory that contains user specified information and also adds a list view control on each tab that shows the files contained in said directories. I want the user to be able to double click a file in the list view(s) to open it.
