1. Just looking for some general help on how to auto update my application via a file location path (e.g. I have a HTML file containing the current file version and the .exe file to download)
What I need is to read in the HTML file version - DONE Check file version vs HTML file stream input - DONE Replace current .exe file with new .exe file - HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS
I know I have to close the application and then replace the old exe file with the new exe file then restart the application but looking for the best/safest way this can be done
2. Basically what I want is during my Splash screen which runs for 5 seconds I want to check if a network drive is mapped.
if not, pause splash screen ask user for address of drive, map drive then un-pause splash screen and continue with load how do I check if a network drive is mapped? and how do I pause the splash screen?

My objective is to have a splash screen that displays a status and steps a progress bar. I have created a custom splash screen form with all the controls that I require. Note: This form has not been designated
as the splash screen in the application settings. I tried that earlier and it got me nowhere. On the main form's load event I show the splash screen. All that seems to work. What doesn't work is getting an update to the splash screen. Actually the function gets called and the label control text gets changed
(I think) but the splash screen never shows the update. I have tried to refresh the control and the form itself but that doesn't work. After spending all morning on the search engines I tried using a delegate but that doesn't seem to

I'm trying to get my splash screen to stay up for more that a second.I have used the code suggested by the book I have, the problem is that the book isn't specific about where the code goes.
I'm using the SplashScreen template. I've added the code in various places. Either the code will delay the splash screen from showing, then it flashes up for half a second, or the code will do nothing.

I need that my application have a splash screen, this splash must update a label with messages that i sent from the main form constructor, in the end of the constructor i need to close the splash, the splash must accept key presses, so if the user press some keys I'll show the login screen, by default the login it's the same of the machine, and this is useful for debugging/tests purposes.Basically i need to send text to another thread, and get a boolean value from the same thread to know if the user pressed the correct combination of keys to show the login form.

I'm new to VB and new to programming in general. I'm working on some code for school which I'm taking online, and the book doesn't do a very good job of explaining how to do this. The array in the txt file contains this info.
[Code]...
I have a list box, which will contain the item numbers and then a price label which will contain the item price. Here is the code I have, but when it reads from the file, it puts all information from each line. I understand why it does that, I just need to know how to set it up to read it as an array.

I'm trying to accomplish something fairly simple in VB that I do everyday in JavaScript.I need to parse text between two strings (HTML tags mainly) that have multiple occurrences.
Sample Data:
<tag>test</tag>
<tag>test2</tag>
<tag>test3</tag>
If I wanted to grab the data in the 2nd <tag> in JavaScript I would simply do this:
var result = string.split('<tag>')[2].split('</tag>')[0];
And the only way I seem to get that to work in VB looks like this...
Dim from = string.IndexOf("<tag>")
Dim [to] = string.IndexOf("</tag>", from)
Dim result = string.Substring(from + "<tag>".Length, [to] - from - "<tag>".Length)
