Insert Current Date And Time In Filename?
Aug 6, 2010I have written some code that generates an output file from an external executable. I would like to insert the current date and time into the resulting filename. In the pi.Arguments line (shown below) the /l= creates the output file. I would like the name of the file to be Trustee_Restore_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.TXT.
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo
[code]....
Everything works, except I would like to insert the date into the output filename.
VS 2008 - DataGridView ImageColumn Retrieve Filename
Mar 20, 2012I'm stuck at making an vacationplanner. For example: an employee can request a day off which request is send to an access database. After which the request has to be approved (or declined) by a supervisor. The supervisor logs in and goes to a overview form to see outstanding and approved request. I use a Datagridview to display the name of the employees at the Y-axis and the corresponding days in the selected month in the X-axis. Then I loop through the access database to fill the specific cells with an grey image on specific days for part-time employees.
After this I loop through a seperate accessdatabase to retrieve the outstanding and approved requests and fill the corresponding cells with an image. Example: yellow image for outstanding and green for approved requests.
dgvBezetting.Item(dag, rij).Value = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath() & "/uren/grijs.jpg")
Now I get to the part where I'm kind of stuck.
In the mentioned datagridview the supervisor can see the already approved requests. But, when an employee suddenly changed or canceled the already approved day off, the supervisor must be able to delete the request. I can find out with hitTest on which cell the supervisor has clicked and from there check the database for request entries, but this will consume a lot of database transaction when the supervisor keeps clicking on cells witch no data in it.
What I preferably want.....
I actually want to check if the clicked cell contains an image or not and from there on continue with an connetion to the database or not. But, I can't figure out how to retrieve the imagename or if there is an image used or not... I only get the result 'System.Drawing.Image', 'System.Drawing.Bitmap' or 'Image', nothing referencing to the imagefilename..

VS 2008 Scan A Long String And Return Any Values That Occur Between The Tags <FileName> And </FileName>?
Jul 1, 2009Quick query...I'm trying to scan a long string and return any values that occur between the tags <FileName> and </FileName> I've got a bit of code here to use regular expressions to return the position of the occurunces of both substrings..Just wanted to find out if there is any way to scan for both substrings within one loop (as im currently doing 2, one for the first substring and one for the 2nd) so I can use something along these lines:
ringlist = Mid(XMLRESP, (startloc + 1), (endloc - 1))
MsgBox(ringlist)
to msg box the value between the substrings...either that or another approach to return the value between the 2 substrings (it can be of variable length)
Dim patternstart As String = "<FileName>"
Dim patternend As String = "</FileName>"
Dim matchesstart As MatchCollection = Regex.Matches(XMLRESP, patternstart)

Remove The Filename And Extract Just The Path Of The OpenFileDialog.Filename Property?
Oct 17, 2010How would I do that? Sample code is below that demonstrated that the file I opened contained the full path and file name.
I want to extract just the path and serialize that to the user.config file as a UserSetting value. Then next time the user opens the dialog box, it uses that saved path string to go immediately to the location previously used.

May 27, 2009I have a Listview on my form with different files. I can selet a file en open it with the proces start method. To open the file i use the OpenFileDialog method and select the filename. This work very good. With the code below.
My question is if there is a method to get the selected file without using the OpenFileDialog Box. So when i dubbelclick the selected file the proces will start with open the selected file. Something like:
proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.SelectedCell.FileName
instead of proc.StartInfo.FileName = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileName
PS) May be i can preduce the Filename using the OpenFileDialog method on the background.

Retrieve Keys From DLL Configuration File Not From Current EXE Configuration File?
Feb 7, 2011I have 3 components :
1.Manager : dll containing Iterface definition and other things
2.Implementation: dll containing Implementation of the Interface
3.Executable: (maybe this one could be a external application or another dll using the libraries)
I have particular methods (iside the interface dll file) that extract information of real Implementation from AppSettings keys in order to instance it using reflection. I use the Manager inside the Excecutable, but when I try to retrieve a especific key defined in "Manager.dll.config" (appSettings), the value returned is empty because the configuration file used is "Excecutable.exe.config" I need this configuration information in Manager config file because this Manager will be used from other programs and the configuration must be centralized into that config file to replicate the possible changes to every app calling this dll.How can I to specify that the ConfigurarionManager.AppSettings must extract values from manager.dll.config file?

Use A # In A Filename?
Aug 14, 2010I often use things like the crosshatch in filenames to group them together. Until recently this has not been a problem.
I am working modifing a WPF app which uses a Listbox to store images. I need the full path of the image to feed to a class to retrieve metadata.
The test image is named "# Canon-ixus.jpg".
Using Listbox.SelectedValue to return the filename I get "%23 Canon-ixus.jpg". There are not a whole lot of options to returning the name of the selected item from the Listbox.
Is there any simple way to get the name back to its original form?

How To Get Filename Faster
Mar 29, 2010I have a directory with more then 350.000 files in. I need to process every single file and move them to an other folder. When I use the dir() method it takes a few seconds before if it returns the first file found.
dim foundfile as string = dir("d:")
In the documentation there is this:
"The My.Computer.FileSystem Object gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than the Dir function. See My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo Method for more information."
But I can't find any method that is faster then dir, and gives the same result. I can't use this method below because it takes for ever to load......
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("D:")
Next
It just does not work fast...
When I use the Dir() method it takes like 5 sec, and it uses 100% cpu... it is just not a option. How do I get the same function as the dir method but better performance? (I use visual basic 2008).

Set The CommonSaveFileDialog.Filename?
Sep 1, 2009In the XP SaveFileDialog, the user is allowed to set the SaveFileDialog.FileName.
I'm using Vista operating system and am using the VistaBridgeLibrary.dll so that I can get the Vista version of the Dialog Boxes. With the CommonSaveFileDialog (for Vista dialog), I'm unable to set the FileName property since it's read only.
Is there a way to populate the FileName so that when the DialogBox displays the filename in use is displayed?
