Reading Files Off Of A CD/DVD Using Visual Basic 2010?
Jan 21, 2011
Me Again, Can anyone tell me how to go about using Visual Basic 2010, on getting file information off of My CD'S/DVD'S as I have Many of them with No titles written on them.basically i would like to insert a CD or DVD into my computer and when i click a Button, A textBox will have all the files from the CD or DVD. and then i could print the list and keep a record of my CD/DVD.
I would like to be able to read a column of numbers from an Access database into a VB.NET program and then manipulate that data.For example I have a column of numbers and want to add them up and then take the averageThe maths is not a problem but how do I read the column of data into the program. I know how to do this if I first export the Access data into a CSV file, but
I have an issue with creating a VB program. I reference files on my computer that are displayed in a webbrowser in the program. The issue comes when I install the program on another computer because of the file path. The program is looking for the files on the computer I created the program on because of the file path, instead of looking for the files within the program resource files.
For example, I created the program on Computer A and referenced File "C:ComputerAMy DocumentsHelp.txt"
Once installed on Computer B, the program doesnt display the image because it's looking for "Computer A" in the file path.How do I correct my programming so that the files are universial and can be found on any computer the program is installed on?
I am trying to build an app that can search column A in an excel document (with textbox control). In column B, I have info about the column A items. When a column A item is searched, I would like a textbox (or similar) to display info about it from column B.
For the application I am making, I want a unique identifier (a weak one is fine, just something that would hopefully tell two computers apart). I think I found the right value for the job in the registry, but for some reason it does not want to read intothe program am going after the following key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWS NTCURRENTVERSION ----> ProductIDThe code I am using to attempt to do this is as such:My.computer.registry.getvalue("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWS TCURRENTVERSION","ProductID","x") (that last one is just because I need to return some sort of string)However..... I only ever get X returned, and I'm not sure as to why. I tested this with other keys in LOCAL_MACHINE in case it was somehow protected and they worked
Now I want that presented in the listbox with the semicolon and it should be aligned per column so that the numbers, the names, the prices and the quantity are exactly aligned per column.If I read the file like this:
[code]...
Then the semicolon is not presented in the listbox and I don't have any alignment per column. As the names of the woods are not equally long the prices and the quantity are not aligned directly below each other...
My questions are:
1) How to add the semicolon in the listbox as seperator of the columns
2) How to align the 4 columns in the listbox (as I have an array Item(3) )
Later on I need to be able to change the quantity (last column) from 0 to > 0 (that's why I have to use an array)
Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.
At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates
Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
I am just wondering how I can add Direct X references to Visual Basic in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2. I cant find them in the .NET reference list, or the reference list, or anywhere. I downloaded the Direct X SDK for August 2009, but I can not add the .dll files to the reference list. Is there anything I can do to add them? I need the references for programming reasons.
I want to use "OpenGL" in my project. Is it possible to associate it with "Visual Basic" application developed in Visual Studio 2010? If yes then how can we do it.
I have a project in visual basic 2010 and want to convert it to visual studio 2010 so I don't have to chose the "open with" every time. Is there a tutorial on how to do this?
To reproduce the error I'm getting:Create a new Visual Studio 2010 ASP.NET web site in Visual Basic, targeting .NET 2.0Type "Public Property Test As String" Observe "Visual Basic 9.0 does not support auto-implemented properties." error Visual Studio 2010 is happy to use VB 10 against .NET 2.0-targeted Windows Forms applications, this only appears to be an issue with ASP.NET.Is there a way to force Visual Studio 2010 to use VB 10 when targeting .NET 2.0?
have just overlooked something somewhere...I am writing VB.NET stuff in VS2010 on Windows 7 64-bit. It seems to build by default for a 32-bit target, how to I tell it to make a 64-bit executable?
I wrote a programme about 12 years ago in visual basic 3.Since then I have moved interstate and changed jobs quite a few time and lost the original Visual Basic 3 discs.Visual Basic 3 saved the files in a binary format that has not been used in any other version of Visual Basic. So now I cannot read or modify the files.
I would like to iterate the files in a folder in Visual Basic. I want to check for each file's name. I heard about a Dir function or something, but I am not very sure how to use it..
For instance, I would like to read the picture's dimensions (width, height) and modify them to fit space available on a page. I have many pictures, so don't want to do this by hand.
If this involves using components or objects, where to find useful documentation about properties, methods, or whatever I need in order to write a program.
I'm using Vis Basic 2010 Express in Vista Ultimate.
I am making a desktop cleaner and I want the program to search For files extensions and move them into a new folder each named after the extension name. Here is what I have.
Public Class Form2 Private Sub Form_Load() End Sub
[Code]...
I want to use Kill(Me.FileReference.Text("*.txt")) to move the files with .txt extention in the Directory which the textbox named Filereference.text contains which is extracted using MyFolderBrowser.SelectedPath.
I am trying to locate the runtime install for Visual Basic 6 Runtime Extended Files. I am not a developer just the guy truing to get it onto the systems for them. My question is simple anI hope the answer is the same. We are converting our systemsfrom Windows XP to Windows 7 and we need the extended runtime modules so a number of our applications will actually work.
I cannot locate the install for this in the Visual Studio download area. Is the re-distributable part of the studio install (so it should be on one of the developers systems) or do I download it from somewhere else.
What files do I need to include when I share my published VB form. I see in the "Application Files" folder there are all my version that I have published. Do I need to include all these or just the most resent with the Setup.exe?
how can i create and update mdb [ access ] files in visual basic 2008..and also if i have a dll library how can i get all of its syntax for using it in visual basic?
I have a text box on my form where a I would enter a string of text which will replace the '1111' to whatever the string is in the text box field.
So for example, On my app, in the text box field, I would enter 2222, then when I click on button1, it will rename file1-1111.doc to file1-2222.doc, file2-1111.doc to file2-2222.doc, etc.....
My students did a tutorial in HTML Help Workshop to add Help files to a VB 2008 Windows application. They zipped the files and uploaded them to our class web site.
I downloaded them at home, unzipped, and tried to check, but every one shows Table of Contents or Index and cannot find the .htm documents for the topic. The same thing happened in my office. However, these projects work correctly in our classroom lab and do display the .htm files.
I am trying to delete rows of an .sdf file using the Database Explorer utility of Visual Basic. When doing so, I get the following error message:No rows were deleted.
A problem occurred attempting to delete row 1.
Error Source: Microsoft.VisualStudio.DataTools. Error Message: The row value(s) updated or deleted either do not make the row unique or they alter multiple rows(48 rows). Correct the errors and attempt to delete the row again or press ESC to cancel the change(s). It is correct that the data in the rows are not unique (and not supposed to be; there is no "error" to correct), but why should this prevent deleting them?
I have created a project in VS2003.Net under VisualC++.-->Windows32 Application. I have to make an executable file that I will be able to run from different machine.The purpose of this file is to read some files that are in a particular directory. I will run the VSC++ .exe file from this folder. So I have to use some code to get the currentdirectory(directory where the current exe file is existing). After getting the directory, I have to find all the files in this directory that has an extension of .config.
