My program has to write to several files according the users settings, options, and other purposes. But when i tested this, it gave me an error, access is denied. I do not want the user to make it run as an admin nor do i want to find another way to do this, because the only other way is the temp dir and when user deleted files from there it could mess it all up.
View 4 RepliesWhat I'm trying to do is write a small program that copies a file from a USB to another directory so a program already installed on the computer can load this data.Usually copying files from one directory into another wouldn't be an issue.
[Code]...
If possible i would also like to change the code i have written so it just loads January2009.txt from the "root directory" of the USB rather than having to specify H: because if i put the USB in someone elses computer this could change to G: and then it wouldn't work.
All I am trying to do is write a simple program that will let me choose a directory and get a listing of all files in that directory and its sub-directories and show it in a RichTextBox. I got as far as being able to select the directory but when I click "OK" I get "access to c:documents and settingsstevedesktopmp3 is denied".The code I am using is listed below.

I normally install my application in a directory in the c: drive as the software is only used within the company.There is some simple security; the program writes a 'bat' file that gets the volume serial number this then this is used to generate a licence file. Both of these files are written in the application directory.I'm giving the program to an external client and am going to install the program in the program files directory - but I find I cannot write a file to the Windows 7 program files directory.

View 19 RepliesI 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

View 3 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?
Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?

View 2 RepliesI've been banging my head for a while now and just can't seem to figure out what the problem is here. I have not really worked with XML much and thought it would be good to do some work with it in order to have a better understanding. I decided to write a little program to allow editing a game file. I found some examples on the net of basic XML functions and tried to use one of them in my program.
The Xml file I am working with is huge so I will show just enough to give an idea of the format.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Proto version ='2'>
<Unit id ='0' name ='InvisibleProjectile'>
<DBID>20</DBID>
[Code]...
I have tried different text in the select nodes portion, such as "proto" "/proto" and the above but in every case I get a count of 0 on the node list and nothing is displayed in my textbox.Each <Unit> is roughy 30-35 lines and the file has over 59k lines of units so clearly the count should be rather high but always 0.
I am new to VB.net
I have a simple form with two textboxes, I want Textbox1 to write to a file named C:VALUE1.txt and
Textbox2 to write its value to a file named C:VALUE2.txt
Any text that is already in the text file MUST be over written.
how can i either copy/move/rename & delete a file in program files directory? [c ode]i already have the form which grabs the updated file and it save it to temp directory ready for copying, just stuck here as of the access denied.

View 6 RepliesI'm trying to write a vb.net program that will upload a file to a FTP site that has SSL (explicit, although I'm not sure what this means).The sample code and explanations I've Googled always assume when it's SSL that I'm using a client certificate. But I have no certificate to load.I simply need to login, accept their certificate and upload my file.When I accept their certificate am I actually installing it on the client? For example of FileZilla a box pops up and I just click on accept, then my login is complete.

View 2 RepliesWhat my program does is load a file (password list), then progressively reads each line of text in the file whilst writing each line to a new file. After X amount of lines have been written, it should start writing the lines of text to a new document until the initial password list has been split into X amount of password lists. The problem I have is that after hours of tweaking, all I can get it to do is write either blank ocuments, or write all of the lines to only one file. I really need it to be able to split into multiple files, preferably at runtime rather than loading a whole text document into the program in a textbox or array then writing it to new files.Below is the source:
