Store All These Files On The Server As Text Files?
Dec 14, 2010
I'm doing a project where we are re-creating a very old system.The client wants the same base functionality and some improvements.One of the things I'm currently working on is the note-system. These are used as flags of some sort, but are also used as a comment field for some products or client profiles.In the old system you could write the text and save it like you would get in a .txt file. They want the new one to be able to do word formatting such as:
Different font sizes (Only some parts of the text)
Different font colours (Only some parts of the text)
Underlining of words
Bolding
Italics
Tab-spaces
Those are the specs they want. What I need to know is the following:
1) How do I do that?
2) Currently they store all these files on the server as text files and the database have paths that refers to each file. I want to be able to save a text file with that formatting to the HDD of the server like in the old system.
3) If possible I would like to save that text to the database with the formatting.

Some time ago in VB6, I wrote a recipe program that basically stores all the recipes as text files. I was going to rewrite it in .NET and use an Access DB. I figured this would help in searching and other things, ratings, etc. But I'm a little stuck. I don't know if:
a) I can or should store all the text files in the DB
b) convert the text files to some other file format
I can already use GetFiles with a mask to search the filenames, not sure if I need or want full text search. So, should I flush the DB idea or how to move forward? I really don't want to use SQL, but if that's the way to go then...

To improve performance, when one has many files to readwrite it is better to save them in smallergroup in different folders. Is there a magic number over which it is better to start splitting the folder? for example below "10.000" (invented number) files can be stored in one single folder, while above that it is better to start storing files in multiple folders.

find sample code to "read" a text file from a web server? This is the file: [URL]
I want to be able to evaluate if it contains some specified text... How can I refer to this file using VB.net and store it in a string variable?
Here's an example of what I want to do:
boolean aaa = false
'The following is located in the "tick" event handler of an activated timer with an interval of 600000 ms
[Code].....
I want to be remotely command all of my programs do something like this, all I have to do is to change the text in the text file to "now"

Scenario: I want to develop an application.The application should be able to connect to my remote server and download data to the local disk , while downloading it should check for new files and only download the new ones simultaneously creating the required(new) folders.
Problem: I have no idea how to compare the files in the server with the ones in the local disk.How to download only the new files from the server to the local disk?
What am thinking?: I want to sync the files in the local machine with the ones in the server. I am planning to use rsync for syncing but i have no idea how to use it with ASP.NET.

So my program allows people to download/upload text files from an FTP server... But... is this safe? I've always been a little scared with FTP because I fear that some lowlife is gonna hack into it. Is there another way to do this? Or is there a way to make this connection much safer?

Im designing a program that will read from various text files (preferably RTF files) and then put them into the RTF box in the program when a button is clicked.
Here is the portion of my code that i am referring to.
Try
Dim fileText As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:\" & selectedHero & ".rtf")
infoDisplay.AppendText(fileText)
infoDisplay.Rtf.Format()
Catch
MsgBox("Selected Hero currently has no File with us.")
End Try
Now heres the problem. In the file i have a few pictures and its formatted and what not. I thought since its a RTF file and the Box is RTF it would auto format.... but anyways. It appears like this in the RTF Box.
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 Arial;}}
{\*\generator Msftedit 5.41.15.1507;}\viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0\fs20{\object\objemb{\*\objclass Paint.Picture}\objw3000\objh3000{\*\objdata
[CODE]...
Ok so im not sure how i can read from a RTF file and put it in the RTF box with the right format....Ive been searching around for a while.

On a image file (PDF), the OCR has recognised the picture and text. However on Visual Basics, how do you search for a text on this image file? The primary goal is to allow a text search (i.e POxxxxx) on all the image files (PDFs). The returns of the search will be the assciated image files where the text (i.e POxxxxx) is found on.

i have an old VB6 system that generates plain text files. When this old system writes "A" into the file, it writes (hex) "41". For an "ä" (a-umlaut, special gernam character), it writes (hex) "E4".
Now i have to process files like this in VB.Net. when i open such a file in the IDE, it displays correctly "ä" (But not always!). To see what i mean, please open a notepad and create a new file "ae.txt" with content: äöü. Now your file contains exactly 3 bytes: (hex) E4 F6 FC.
But when i write code like
Dim strTest As String
strTest = File.ReadAllText("ae.txt")
Debug.Print(InStr(strTest, "ä"))
i get 0 - so i cannot find back the "ä" - what do i need to do, to find it? And 2) for compatibility reasons, i have also to be able to create such files. How to do that? Seems the different encoding types do not work as i think.

I've inherited a .NET app to support / enhance which reads in a couple of files of high hundreds of thousands of rows, and one of millions of row.The original developer left me code like :-
For Each ModelListRow As String In ModelListDataArray
If ModelListRow.Trim.Length = 0 Or ModelListRow.Contains(",") = False Then
GoTo SKIP_ROW
[code].....
and it takes an age (well, nearly half an hour) to import these files.

As some of you may know, I'm trying to develop a client/server application that requires sending files and text. Text is not a problem, this works fine, and for some of the part, sending files works, but they get slightly mangled in the process. For example, I used a 4x1 BMP that was alternately coloured red and white and tried sending it across. The output was the correct image dimensions, but the colours were wrong. It was more like a very dark red and very dark grey. I inspected the files with notepad, and the header was the same, but the data was different.
I did some research and apparently need to use a BinaryReader and BinaryWriter as opposed to reading the data as a string (like I was when it was being mangled) but now the data is all wrong, even filesize is different.The code below is a simple example of code for reading an image and then writing it again elsewhere using Binary Read/Write.

I'm trying to store all my files into one file. I have quote huge file but the file stops at 194,000 KB and it doesn't save beyond that but the problem I've built says that the file has been saved. I would like to know if there is a way to go beyond this limit? And for the file to just keep getting bigger.

I'm writing an application that will be used to generate reports from a database and I want to have several predefined reports/queries built in but also offer the user the option to create their own query and be able to save it and run it whenever they want without having to set the query up again each time.
So I figured I would just store the query parameters in an XML file for the ones that a user has created themselves and I would store these XML files (one for each query) in the user's Application Data folder.
I'm wondering what I should do with the built in queries though (bear in mind that the parameters of these built in queries should not be configurable). As I see it, these are my options:
1. Have the query parameters hard coded in the application
2. Store the query parameters in XML files in the location where the app is stored (ie Program Files) - the installer would create these files when the app is installed
3. Store the query parameters in XML files in the user's Application Data folder with any queries they have created themselves.
I'm leaning towards option 2 for the following reasons: All queries (user defined or predefined) would then be in the exact same format and the program could then run them all in the exact same way. Option 1 would mean I would have to release a new version of the application if I ever wanted to change these parameters. Option 3 would mean that the program would have to create the XML files each time it was launched by a new user so it would be a bit pointless and the values for the parameters would still have to be hard coded in the application so that it could create the files correctly.

With regard to RichText, obviously information is contained somehow with regard to the text colour, font, size as so on and as it supports more than the ASCII character set such as Unicode characters and so on.
Now I know that Microsoft Word .doc and .docx files contain such information.
My question: How to extract just the rich text information only and ignore all the formatting
information such as bold, underline, italic and so on. How can this be achieved with VB.Net
What I am thinking of here, is, imagine a CSV ( comma separated value ) file but in Rich Text Format.
In relation to this, does Notepad only support a limited character set, i.e. ASCII only?

I'm writing a program that reads randomized test questions from a text file. The text file includes information about how to set up the screen including which pictures, videos or buttons etc. to show for each question. The user responds to the questions and another text file is created logging the results. would it be better to read in all the data from the text file into an array to work with during the test, or should I just read the questions one at a time keeping the text file open while the user responds. The amount of data that would be read into an array for an average test would be about 200 lines which range from a single character to 20 sentences (whose length would of course vary).

I have an ASP.NET application (vb.net codebehind) that has serious performance problems because of its storage of TIFF files in one server share. There are over a million .TIF files there now! The application tracks the scanned images of property with a corresponding row in an Oracle database table. We have this idea that it might be better to store the images themselves in a new Oracle table.
The alternative solution we are thinking of is to split up the server share into multiple folders by State (an OH folder, a WV folder, a VA folder, etc.) Seems like the database option might make more sense long-term, but how do we do it? Can a TIFF be stored in a BLOB column and then extracted back into TIFF format using .NET?

As I'm working with some image files for my project, where should I store it ?I mean, they will be displayed frequently to the user. What I do currently is store in the app directory and when needed, I use:
vb.net
PictureBox1.Image=New Bitmap(Application.StartupPath & "ImageName.png"
For some background images, I used to set it at design time. That is, selecting the image needed using the Image property and never changes it at runtime.So, what will be best place to store it efficiently.

We're making a project named personal digital library. It works like an automatic file organizer, which organizes files accdg to different topics, which falls under document categorization. The problem is we don't know what algorithm will be used in our project, we're using VB.NET 2008. Another is do we need to create a database to store the files to be organized?
