I've got a a simple database setup with a parent child relationship.Imagine one expense report can have many line items associated with it.Now inside of this line items table I have a column that stores the link / pathof an attachment on our local storage server. Some example values could be:
\myserverattachments1.pdf
\myserverattachments2.jpg
\myserverattachmentssomeDoc.docx

I want to be able to code a small system that reads a set directory, for new PDF or Word DOC file types.
Then i want to print them.
I understand, with reference to this thread, - [URL]
and this one - [URL]
that i can use MS Word automation to print the document, but i would like the application to read the folder constantly in real time and then print what ever is 'new' in the folder.
Would there be any advantage to code my own print driver?
I'm just curious as to how some software programs that I see out there have the ability to extract links & text from thousands of web pages at an extremely high and fast rate. Has anyone here, ever created a link or text extracting program the has the ability to parse many webpages and return data into a textbox? I know how to extract links via the webbrowser control, but it doesn't seem to parse/extract data at a very high & fast rate like many email, link & text extracting programs that I see out there.

my webbrowser navigates to a webpage. I need to store all the links into a collection, I did find the code to do the job (on this forum) and it works, but there is a problem: there are more links on the page than those the code reads, like when i right click on a picture and choose "copy shortcut" I get a link that is not showing when I display the "view source" for the entire page. I can't figure out how to do it.

I have a folder that contains multiple word documents. I need to monitor this folder for any changes in these word documents. I am facing the following problems.
File system watcher never reports the exact name of file being changed. For example for file abc.doc, it reports "~$abc.doc is changed" on first save.For all subsequent saves to that file, OnChanged event in the following code is not called. When I changed the filter to watcher.Filter = ".", I found that for subsequent saves, it reports "~WRL0001.tmp is changed".
So the bottom line is that I never know the exact name of the file changed.[code]...
I've been searching the web in general (and this forum specifically) for information on setting up Help documentation on a project - but the 'help' in the search just seems to give too much.I've never set up help documentation and was wondering if there is a good primer anywhere on the web or in a book - I've looked through VB books and none cover this topic also the I've so far been unable to absorb the official MS docs.
View 2 RepliesI'm reading a text doc from my hard drive. I'm reading it via a stream reader.

Is it possible to build a search engine to use on a DVD that contains Word documents, text documents, etc.? Say I wanted to find all documents with the name "James" in them. In the search box I would type "James", and it would return the results of everywhere James is found. Or suppose I wanted to find all Land Deeds where James is found, is that possible? All search engine examples that I have seen on VB Help has to do with databases, and I guess to an extent, my DVD would be the database.

I know there is a lot of forums out there regarding this, but I haven't been able to find what I need and I am somewhat new to this. I would like the simple openfiledialog code button click to attach a word document or PDF and upload it to a SQL server table to be saved. I would like to use my current datasets and controls without creating another SQL query within my project as I have seen in other forums, unless that is the only method. I know that the data needs to be saved as an image type with the file name and extension but I just need the code for this. I would then like to download the doc or pdf to view it within a form.
View 3 RepliesThis is the MSDN example for handling the BeginReceive callback.BeginReceive is called over and over until no more data is available, i.e. EndReceive returns 0. However I am finding that the callback is only fired when there is data available.
I'm guessing that the example is simply wrong or refers to expected behaviour in a previous version of .NET, although it says it is for 3.5.So how do I ensure I have received all of the available data?

I basically have an application that generates reports in a .html file, I use a .html file for the ease of making tables and formatting text.Now I would like to introduce a way of printing the reports from my program. Because I use a .html file, the formatting would not the correct if I was to print it directly from my application (as far as I know). For this reason, I would like to print it just like my web browser would have in order to keep the tabular data intact and the text formatting.
View 1 RepliesI'm creating an application which has an scheduler to print and it checks if there is a pending job on the print queue before it prints the next file. I use a timer which checks if there is any file to be printed on my database. Example, the timer ticks and selected 10 files to be printed, it should print the 10 files 1 at a time, if there's no print queue, that's the only time the next file should print. I think another timer is required which will keeps on checking if print queue is done. How will i do this?

My problem is in 5b. I cannot figure out how to select multiple items. I have tried using a wildcard but that doesn't seem to work. I tried setting loops for each link but it only opens that last link on the page. The zip files to be downloaded are all named in the following manner - 11-22(1).ZIP, 11-22(2).ZIP etc. Also, zip extensions vary from ZIP to zip. Don't know if casing makes a difference. What I currently have the program do is to click each file and begin download. All it's doing is clicking the last file in the list. Whole website is basically a JavaScript applet. The only way to click a file is to search for the link name. [Code]
