View 1 RepliesSo this is a pretty dumb question, and one I am clearly misunderstanding for whatever the reason. I have an ASP.net project and the default aspx page loads a file. I made a class to deal with file handling, in it I hard coded the local directory to where that file is. I want to make that path relative to the default.aspx page. I can't figure out how to do that. I have read a lot of stuff on MSDN, and it makes simple sense, but when I put it to code I can't seem to get it right.
I feel my answer is here, I understand what it is saying but I can't translate that to my program.[URL] Code such as
Dim rootPath As String = Server.MapPath("~")
makes sense to me but I can't use 'Server' for some reason.
I have used this spot of code to supplement my problem for now.
string=System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory()
I am working on a project that consists of manipulating several reports (word and excel). At the beginning of my project I set all paths to a hard string (C:users...................) using the my.settings. Worked great during developement but now its time to test on other machines. I have been toying with using Application.StartupPath but cannot figure out how to modify the app.config so I do not have to recode my forms (given it would not take long), not to sound lazy but I know there has to be a way to achieve a computer specific path to find the reports in the application directory.

I am trying to make my program assign "0" to an empty textbox when the user hits START. I'm trying to use a "for each" loop, but with no success so far. I've tried a bunch of different things, but here is the closest i've gotten (all the items added to the collection are textboxes):
Code
Private Sub TESTSTART_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TESTSTARTButton.Click
Dim value_collection As New Collection

when i click the start button, i get a "mismatched type error" ..
I programatically / runtime created combobox and bind it to a datasource but can not set its default value. Since I am using the Handler of SelectedValueChanged, this is causing the program to mis-fire. Here is the code I am using.

Dim T_Dict As New Dictionary(Of String, String)

After adding any control or object to form from datasource or toolbox, vb postfixes object type name to that control e.g. for Name field NameTextBox, for Component like Data Adapter say AddresesDataAdapter, AddresesBindingSource and so on.Here i want to ask you that may i change this default way to identify the object i.e. may i set prefixes desired for diffrent objects.

So im just wondering, in batch they have a default way of saying the original drive or folderpath like so: %drive% for your C: drive or whatever your drive is or like %windir% for the windows directory. I need this to extract files into the windows folder and some people might have a D: drive instead of C: or Windows.001 instead of Windows. Is there a way for this in vb 2008-2012?

View 2 RepliesIs the default format of ToString dependent on anything server related? Here's the issue: I'm testing and have tested an application on my local machine and ToString(), by default, is returning in a format of "MM/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt", however on our server it appears to be returning as "dd/MM/yyyy hh:mm:ss tt" which the consuming application is not expecting and causing errors.

Dim token = String.Format(fmtString, uvExpireDate.ToUniversalTime().ToString(), [various other params])
I am trying to set the "ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle" property to the "GoudyHvyface BT" font and it will not change from the default. I am using Visual Basic 2008.
I have set the property properly with no success.
I have tried to set the property in code, using the suggestions in the MSDN and it kept throwing errors.
So I made a little program, and when I run it on my computer the Date format displays as DD/MM/YYYY, but when I run it on some other computers it displays as MM/DD/YYYY. Is there anyway to set the default incoming Date format? Or do I just have to be very careful about how I get/set parts of dates?

View 1 RepliesI am creating a customised version of the ListView control and there are several of the properties that a ListView has that I would like to be set to a different value to the ListView default when a user goes to use my user control.
From what I've found there seems to be a number of people suggesting just set them in the constructor, but to the best of my knowledge that would just mean that the user would not be able to change the properties in the PropertyGrid in the VS IDE.I assume this is probably something extremely simple that I have overlooked.
I have a label printer with the driver loaded with the settings in the driver set I can print the exact label that I want, I have the problem that I need to set the default settings in the driver when the software starts. there are 6 of these printers and the only problem we have found is that different operators like to change the settings.
What I need to do is to set the following commands in the driver so each time the system is started (daily) it loads the settings and works properly.
I need to set
Custom Commands Text, Start, Parsed Text
In the Advanced Setup, turn on use printer settings
Other settings would be usfull but as I cannot set these I do not think I will be able to set others.
I can currently set some of the commands eg,
DefaultPageSettings.PrinterSettings.Copies=2

View 3 RepliesFor some reason when I place a button on a form and type some text, the text is too big for the button. Descenders are not shown (i.e., the bottoms of g's, p's, q's, etc.). Does anyone know how to modify the default settings of the button, such as the height or font size? Obviously I can change these properties after I place the button on the form, but this gets old. My default font size is 7.8pt San Serif. If possible I would like to increase the default button height and the font size (I like to use bigger text for teaching in class so those in the back of the room can see).

View 3 RepliesI have a utility that I have written in VB.net that runs as a scheduled tasks. It internally calls another executable and it has to access a mapped drive. Apparently windows has issues with scheduled tasks accessing mapped drives when the user is not logged on, even when the authentication credentials are supplied to the task itself. Ok, fine.
To get around this I just passed my application the UNC path.
process.StartInfo.FileName = 'name of executable'
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = '\unc path'
process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
process.StartInfo.Arguments = 'arguments to executable'
process.Start()
This is the same implementation I used with the mapped drive, however using the UNC path, the process is not behaving as if the UNC path is the working directory.
Are there any known issues setting ProcessStartInfo.WorkingDirectory to an UNC path?
