Run A Bat File And A Custom Cmd File From Vb Resources?
Apr 15, 2012
I'm trying to run a batch file with a cmd file I have in my resources. I'm not trying to extract them anywhere. I simply want to edit the bat command in the form and run it with the cmd file I have.
The reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim printProcess As New Process printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf" ' printProcess.StartInfo.FileName = My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help printProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print" printProcess.Start() End Sub
The reason I ask is that I want to print, at run-time, a file in the application's resources, like this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim printProcess As New Process printProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
[code]....
When I use "C:UsersGeoffrey van WykDocumentsCountdown_Timer_Help.rtf" as the argument of FileName, it works. But when I use My.Resources.Countdown_Timer_Help, it says it cannot find the file.
ok im tryin to run an embedded .exe in my app but i seem to be having a issue with my code can someone have a look
Private Sub ButtonX1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ButtonX1.Click Dim size As Long = My.Resources.Myprogram.Length - 1
[Code]....
my error is ' Read ' is not a member of 'system Array'. i have change the program name to Myprogram i have added myprogram.exe and then the 'exe' is not a member of 'system array'
I have a font FREE3OF9. (BARCODE FONT).I want when user run my program, the Font automatic install on their machine.So i want to copy that font to C disk of user :
Dim binWriter = New IO.BinaryWriter(IO.File.Create("C:WINDOWSFontsFREE3OF9.TTF")) binWriter.Write(My.Resources.FRE3O) binWriter.Close()
Process.Start("C:WINDOWSFontsFREE3OF9.TTF")I use above code but it is error.I import that font to my resoures .And i want to copy that font in my resoure to "C:WINDOWSFonts" of USER
OK not the greatest title but this one is not too easy to put in a few wordsi have a jpg file for example with a custom file extension of jjj for examplenow i associate .jjj with my application so that when i click a .jjj file my application runs.
I have a PDF which i want to open when user clicks a buttonI know how to open a file from drive location but how to open PDF from my.resources so that it can be deployed with the application
I have an encrypted program in my resources in a project I'm working on and I need to access that file like this. Dim fs As New FileStream(filepath, FileMode.Open)
For the last two days or so, I've been trying to get a program to compile another program that will extract a series of files and run them in a given order, like a self extracting zip archive.The program compiles fine and compiles sub programs, but I am unable to go about correctly embedding the resources.The output program shows the large amount of data ( ~12mb from the file I've been embedding to test ), and there are no compile errors.However, I cannot get it to access the resources correctly. It will either result in a compile error about the resource image not being valid / containing any resources, or a friendly "System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException" being thrown.
I want to copy my Startup.wav file from the programs resources, but i don't know how to do it.I have tried: system.IO.File.Copy(My.resources.Startup, "C:windowsmediaStartup.wav", true) But it doesn't work. I've spent some time searching the web, but found no usefull awnsers to my problem. Maybe i'm not searching for the right things..
I am going to be making a program where you can click on the buttons to download a file to the desktop. I will be having .swf files inside the resources and I need them to be downloaded onto the desktop by clicking a button. Dose anyone know the code, I looked on Google but then it just started going downhill.
I need to some how integrate 2 .exe files, and 1 batch file into my project. I don't like them sitting out in the open, and this will look neater. What I mean is, when I run a command like, "Shell("cmd.exe /C Ping " & TextBox1.Lines(26))", and I have a .exe named ping in the program directory, it will open that console executable, and then to ping etc. I want to somehow pack the .exe and batch with the program.
i need the code for playing a mp3 file what is in the resources. i don't have a clue of where to start. i've tried so many times but i always get an error.
How would I save a file to the application resources? Like I would be able to save text files using the GUI and then when I re-open the application I'd be able to access them again.
I have found that i can add some resources as images and i could use them using my.resources.now i want to know how can i use the same way to save something to a text file in the resources and then load the saved text.
You know when you insert an image into BASIC it makes a new folder called "Resources" and puts the picture in it? Well, I want a file in it so I can access it. PictureBox3.ImageLocation = "C:UsersKenneth RheeDesktopCIBProfiles" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + "" + TextBox3.Text + "" + TextBox4.Text + "" + TextBox6.Text + ".jpg"
So basically I want to know the file path of the "resources" folder so even if another person downloads it, they can access the files. I think the file path is something like WindowsApplication1.My.Resources.Resources.icon_cadsoft_eagle because that's what the ImageLocation said in a PictureBox.
I've created an attribute, similar to the ToolboxBitmapAttribute, that allows you to associate an Icon or Image to a class.
To associate an image, the resource file base name, a type (to find the assembly), and the name of the resource are passed to the attribute constructor. I then use the ResourceManager to get access to the resource:
Dim rm = New ResourceManager(ResourceFileBaseName, passedType.Assembly) Dim obj = rm.GetObject(resourceName)
This is fine except that I want the option to pass just the resource name in the constructor, and omit the resource file base name. Then I would pick up the resource from the default resource file. When I say default resource file, I mean the one when you start Visual Studio, open the property pages and click the Resources tab.
The problem is, when developing in VB.Net, the base name is 'RootNamespace.Resources', and when developing in C#, the base name is 'Rootnamespace.Properties.Resources'.
Where can I programatically find the name of the default resource file?
Update
What I can do is get a list of all resource names:
t.Module.Assembly.GetManifestResourceNames
I can then look for a name that ends with Resources.resources and use that to build the resource file base name.
