I'm making a backup utility, and I need to know how to compress files. Is there a VB built-in utility for this? Also, if possible, can you tell me how to compress things to the maximum?

Im trying to create an incremental backup utility on a web form using vb.net for code behind.
So far i can copy files from directories including sub directories and that part works fine, my main problem is copying only the most recent / modified files to the backup folder, currently it is moving all the files each time.
Below is my code so far.
CODE:
I am making a utility that will read through the files in a listbox.I already have it where it can read the files but you have to have the file selected in the listbox. Im wanting it to do it to all listbox items instead of just the selected one. This is what I was using:
Dim files = ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString
Here is what I have but it only works when clicking on the row. I have tried a For Each and it still only does it when clicking on the row and not every time.Basically, I am trying to get a button to change the way it looks or if it even appears and them making a picture box appear or not.
If DataRepeater1.CurrentItem.Controls("TRANSPORT_SUFFIXLabel1").Text = "A" Or DataRepeater1.CurrentItem.Controls("TRANSPORT_SUFFIXLabel1").Text = "B" Then
DataRepeater1.CurrentItem.Controls("Edit_Checklist_Btn").Enabled = True[code]....
I'm making a rating system for people to rate things in a listbox. I've setup so the stars get saved using my.settings, but how would I make it so it gets stored into a database, and it checks to see if they already rated.

View 13 RepliesI am looking for information on using mstscax.dll in VB. The goal is to create a utility that logs into a remote service in the same manner as remote desktop. However, my utility is not required to show the desktop.I have a series of commands that I will start off with that will look for users, reset logins, shadow, and message. I have been using a batch file on my RDP to perform these functions, but we are already looking for more functionality and power than what the batch commands can offer. I am googling 'mstscax.dll' but the results have been less than satisfactory although I continue to search.
View 2 RepliesThis is kind of an off-the-wall question but does anyone know if VS 2010 has somekind of utility that will allow you to just drag & drop controls onto a form or something that will help in visual design. I'm just talking for visual purposes only. No code-behind files or anything...almost like a canvas where you can place controls and labels, etc.

View 6 RepliesI am trying to create an application to make self-extracting Exe's in Visual Studio 2010 Express. I would like to have a box in which files can be dropped into, then when you click "Compile" it will compress all files dropped into the box along with 3 others I must have delivered to this self-extracting exe. When the newly created exe is run, it will launch "Install.exe". I know there are other items out there to build the self-extracting exe's. I would however like to make my own that always delivers these 3 specific files along with whatever is dropped into the application.

View 3 RepliesI am trying to build a date calculator utility (DateCalc). It returns the number of days,weeks, months etc between two dates.I worked hard and long trying to find out how to convert a date into a format on which you can perform math operations (for the "what's the date in 'n' days time" part) and it works! I can also use the minus operator to find out previous dates, from say 10000 days ago... BUT...I want to develop it further, and this is where I need help (i am still very newbie remember)Can you help me to find a way to code this bit to ignore weekends and saturdays or sundays individually, and a range of dates in its calculation? I have two datetime pickers and a some checkboxes.DTPickFromDTPickToChkBoxExWeekendChkBoxEXSaturdaysChkBoxExSundays An image of my form and it's components is here :--> [URL] Also, as part of my 'Datecalc', I'd like to find the dates of every other saturday and sunday in the future.
View 9 RepliesI want to find the framework class that enables one to choose an image at design-time. I can find the editor that is used at run-time - its the Drawing.Design.ImageEditor. At design time, however, a different editor pops up which allows one to choose an image from resources.I'm guessing I could run some kind of program, then open up the image editor, from the property grid, and see what new windows/classes have been created?
View 2 RepliesIt seems that in C#, a solution can contain multiple projects, which, I guess, would compile into separate but somehow related programs. It seems that this functionality is missing in VB, even though VB uses solution files as well.How would someone go about creating a tool or utility or "helper app" for a project? For example, a command line version of the program, which is a separate executable, but obviously would be distributed as part of the main program? Maybe I want to integrate a feature into windows where the user can right click on a certain file and choose "convert" from the context menu, where "convert" would open the helper app, which would read the file and save an updated copy of the file (converting from one file format to another and saving the result) without the user needing to wait for the main program to load, wait for the interface to be configured, then wait for the file conversion. The helper app would not need to display an interface to the user - just convert and save the file.

View 1 RepliesBackground: I have read a bunch of techniques to handle compression. I don't think SmartZipLib handles 7z. System.OS.compression does not seem to handle rar or 7z. I am trying to find one approach for all.The tools within Windows XP seem to handle them all from inside the file manager (at least on my computer).Question: how can I decompress all these files using the windows utility? I am guessing it is some sort of Shell command. Alternatively, is there another option?

View 1 RepliesWhen I started at my current employer I inherited a project from a previous developer and in that project was a data access utility class that tries to simplify a lot of the code involved in making calls and retrieving data back from the database. Over time it has been modified to add more overloaded forms of functions, and now I am looking at possible suggestions from the StackOverflow community.What do you think should be added? Removed?odified?Note:It would be nice if this class could remain compatible to VB.NET in the .NET 2.0 framework. We are also developing in 3.5, but I would like to have something that is generally going to work across most frameworks (so no LINQ, etc.) Also, please refrain from unnecessary answers that consist of nothing but "Use nHibernate" or other tools.
My class:
Public Class DataAccess
Public Shared Function ReturnScalar(ByVal CmdStr As String) As String

I have a text file with 3 columns.col 1 has 8-9 digit numbers which are unique. I want to design a utility which loads the text file in memory.The utility should run in the background while the user enters data in some other app. and whenever that 8-9 digit (from text file)number is pressed by the user a the data from other two columns is displayed at the screen or alert the user in some way. Is there a way to do this things in excel 2003?

View 5 RepliesI want to make a utility that allows the user to edit Jump List entries. There is some kind of tie between the raw junplist filenamess and the app, for instance:
Excel = cdf30b95c55fd785

Those were found by trial and error and there are a few more on the net.
For MS Word the file is "C:UsersusernameAppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsRecentAutomaticDestinationsadecfb853d77462a.automaticDestinations-ms"
What I'm wondering is if anyone knows how to determine what filenames go with what program. Deciphering the files will be another issue for sure

I am looking for some (preferable vb.net) code to use in an asp.net application that will allow me/my users to setup calendars (that I store in SQL server db).
I am looking for something that will make it easy to schedule recurring appts (i.e. every monday, every other week on thursday at 9AM, every month,1st and 3rd tuesday, every year etc) with as many possible scenarios as possible.
I can automate most of the easy ones via a few screens, but inevitably my users come up with scenarios that require me to code and execute some custom scripts in SQL to make the entries, and I'd really like to offload this to the users.
