is it possible to report the percentage of file written by a file stream wile it is writing a large file?I am using a code like this one to write a large file
Using Fs As System.IO.FileStream = System.IO.File.Create(FolderPath)
Dim bf As New BinaryFormatter()
bf.Serialize(Fs, data)
End Using
I don't know whether it is simple or not because i am new to programming. my requirement is : In my vb.net winform application, the filenames of the files present in "D:Project" willbe displayed in DataGridView1 control. Now I want to load these files one after another into memory stream buffer and add the headers("ID","Name","Class") to the content in the file. Then I want to save these files in "C:" with "_de" as suufix to the filename i.e.,sample_de.csv.
View 1 RepliesI am writing a backup program that zips files. Using some sample code I have the following that creates a zip file. Problem is it does not get any subdirectories or files. Where am i going wrong?
Dim azFileNames() As String = Directory.GetFiles(SourceFolder)
Dim objCrc32 As New Crc32()
Dim zipStream As ZipOutputStream
[CODE]...
Alternativley, there is another component to the zipping dll that I could probably bypass the above altogether. It is: FZ.CreateZip(DestFile, SourceFolder, True, "", "") Where DestFile is (Output stream as system.io.stream). I'm trying to read all the files, directories, sub dir and files, etc from a specific location, let's say 'My Documents' into Destfile in which the FZ.CreateZip zips the file. FZ is FastZip which is from icsharpcode.net. They have c# examples, but that's greek to me. I'm trying to just learn VB!
If i use a stream to modify few bytes in a file without changing the total number of bytes
does the stream rewrite all the file even if just few bytes have been replaced?
Is there anyway to take a static stream reader, and switch it to another text file based on the user changing the file?
View 1 Repliesi would like to ask is there anyway to read a txt file with UTF-8 encoding using streamreader or filestream. the txt file is contain some extended ASCII that makes me cannot read the characters properly. I hav tried Encoding.ASCII.GetString(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes()) but still it return wrong character when it's reading extended ASCII code.
View 2 Repliesi am making a game in which the file stream gets a certain file(lets say a.txt) and it reads it, if it has certain values stored in the file it returns boolean(this is a function), then a sub procedure writes to the file using a streamwriter and a filestream using the same file. I am having problems, sometimes visual basic says that another process is using the file, this is before i closed the filestreams and the streamwriter or streamreader, then it gives me errors when i close the files, it tells me that it can't access a file that is already closed, i thought the filestream gets the file and lets the streamreader or streamwriter read or write to the filefound out the problem?

I've downloaded ZLIB.NET from here and the example VB.NET code they provide works fine. It's very short so I'll paste it here for reference:
vb
Public Shared Sub CopyStream(ByRef input As System.IO.Stream, ByRef output As System.IO.Stream)
Dim num1 As Integer
[Code]...
Note that the CopyStream() subroutine is identical. The problem is that although decompressing seems to work fine, compressing does not. If I take a byte stream, compress it and then decompress it using the above code, I get a truncated version of the original stream (as an example, a 360485 byte stream becomes 311518 bytes). The resulting bytes match the original stream up until the point where it's cut off.
The only information I can find about streams being truncated is due to missing stream.Flush() commands but the output stream is flushed in the CopyStream() subroutine.

I am trying to read a xml file (from a stream) like the one below. I need to read the xml element "recipientPhone" first,then I could read element "contents" so that I could save base64 data as file with the name coming from recipientPhone.I am using while xmlReader.read() to read the xml, is there a way that I could read element "recipientPhone" before "contents"?
xml sample:
<fax>
<clientInfo>Attachments: 2</clientInfo>
<contents><contentType>0</contentType>
<data>data1</data>

I have an embedded DLL in my app and I need to write it to the filesystem at runtime. I have this so far:
Dim _assembly As Assembly = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
Dim _rawstream As Stream = _assembly.GetManifestResourceStream("MyFile.dll")
I just need to write _rawstream to a file now.
EDIT: This has to be .NET Framework 2 and CopyTo does not exist

I currently use:
Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)
but I want it to be called by name.I am adding the resources using the VS 2008 "Resources" tab, from the My Project screen, I'm not manually editing Resources.resxAs I said before, it works with:
Return New System.IO.MemoryStream(My.Resources.MyFileName)
but I need to get the resources by name, which also works by using
GetMAnifestResourceStream
but this requires to set the resources Build Action to "Embedded Resource", which doubles the size of my DLL file.I currently use "None" as Build Action, but I can use any Build Action that does not increase the file size more than the actual resources size.

View 10 RepliesI am trying to write a little synthesizer program, and as a first step I am creating .wav files opened for reading and writing using the code below called from a button click event handler. The audo plays but once, no matter how many instances of the Audio.Play method are called. I also tried closing the file and then calling the Audio.Play method on the full path name. In each case, the audio plays but once. If I click the button again, the file will be played once more. The duration for the audio is one second, so I am sure that it is only being played once every time. I do not want to loop the data. The idea is that when the user plays a new note, I update the file and replay it with the new data. Since the file is recreated every time I click the button, I guess what I *need* is working, but I am still curious why I cannot replay the content of the file.

It runs without errors, but the messagebox only shows the 'OK' button, not the contents of the file as I want.

I currently send a live video mix to a output screen (a form on a particular screen).Consider it like a really advanced version of PowerPoint. I call it a video control room for the pc. I want to take 30 frames a second from a screen (of my choice, I allow multiple screens) and the audio from the computer (stereo) set, save it to a hard disks. How do I do that? I know I can draw the image of the interface using the RenderTargetBitmap class, but How do I put those images (as frames) in an AVI file or push it to a video server? An SDK? or a Code Example to point me in the right direction, would be nice! I also want to capture the sound of the current Stereo mix, or microphone (as determined by the user).
