I have to get a text file from the internet and then in a textbox. This is what I got
Dim Data As New System.Net.WebClient()
Data2.DownloadFile(URL, "C:file.txt")
But this, after retrieving the file, saves it directly in C:.
I need to download files from internet without using FTP, here's my idea:To check version of the program and also download updates.So firstly, when the user enters the splash screen there is a timer which will check updates (downloadTimer) so then downloadTimer starts to download this txt file http://localhost/version.txt and then when its downloaded (and replaced the old one that was on the computer already) and then after that, read the file. If the version.txt contains version 1.0 then pass the check and splash screen closes, main form opens, else then msgbox ("Please Wait!" & vbcrlf & "Downloading updates") and then download updates with the same way from downloading version.txtOh! and also when the file is downloaded (version.txt) save it to "c:programMyApplicationversion" downloading the file without using FTP (if there isn't any other way i could use FTP).File reading could be made with an IO.FileStream thingy.So how do i do the download part?
View 2 Repliesmy vb.net program automatically detects if the current window is the internet explorer. If so, the program now should read the current url. Is it possible to read the current url of an instance of the internet explorer? How?I read a lot about "SHDocVw". But I can't find this lib on my computer (vista).
View 3 RepliesI'm using vb.net 1.1 to develop the program. I got text files that contain test result from a machine, like below.
T1 1.24535 2.56335 2.43253 1.24538 2.55619 4.35243
T2 1.42542 1.63728 3.57295 4.59275 1.57320 2.72057
T3 5.12857 2.45375 6.38593 2.58375 3.57259 3.57204
I need to check the test result with the data from database, to find out which test result is failed. If there is a fail test result, I will show an alert to the operator and stop the checking process. Until the operator close the alert, then the checking process will continue from the last read point.
Ok this is annoying me because i know this code, but the code has left my brain. I simply need get text from a .txt from the web. Basically easiest way to explain would be so you can Change a title from the web. By making label1 the text file words. So Label1 = thewebsite.filename.txt I have done this before i have just forgotten the code. I know the code is only a couple lines. like 1 or 2, which makes me feel silly i cant remember.

View 2 RepliesI have some code that is supposed to automate a textbox on a webpage. The problem is, it only works half of the time. The text either displays or does not display. I added the internet controls as a reference but the HTML object library would not get added. Everytime i would go to do this, it would freeze.I also tried doing it two ways. The way that is commented out, always produced a null error. If i change the website to google.com, it works perfect everytime.[code]

View 1 RepliesI'm creating a program in Visual Basic 2010 that will be going through about 1.2 million XML files from the internet. The URL of each file is in the following format:

where "VARIABLE" is a number between 1 and 1.2 million. Once I have the document, I need one specific value from the XML. The relevant section of the document tree is in the following format:

I have 2 List boxes, a textbox, and a command button.What I am trying to do is take about 100 text files that all have certain text in them that I need to change at run time to whatever I put into the textbox. For instance Each Text file has my old company name and I want to be able enter my new name into the textbox and click the command button and the app will open each text file, find the text that I specify and replace it with my new name then save the file into a specified folder.What elements should I be studying to make this happen? So far this is what I've come up with:
OpenFileDialog - to open the file
StreamReader - to read the text files and find the text that I specified
**Not sure on the replace method**
StreamWriter - to write the text from the textbox to the new file
SaveFileDialog - to save the file to the specified location
