allowed to write in C:path (Vista system)
View 6 RepliesI'm coding this neat little project that's kind of a hack into the SanDisk U3 Cruzer's ability to have both a CDFS and FAT32 File System. This is helpful because the program is burned to the CDFS (It's basically slip streamed as an .ISO in place of the original U3 .ISO), and the settings files (which I've developed as text files) are placed on the root of the flash drive. The program itself is VERY simple actually, except I'm having a slight issue that's really driving me insane:
The drive path of the Flash Drive won't be the same from computer to computer. I.E... The files are "UAI.txt" and "UInfo.txt". The root of the drive on my comp is "I:", but on my laptop is "F:". So if I program the path from my computer as the absolute path, an exception is thrown when the path changes on another computer. I cannot have this happen. It is probably THE MOST crucial element to this program. How can you save and read info if you can't find the files? =P
So I've gone through so many threads and forums trying to find a batch of code to allow me to make the path relative. I've found the following code (modified, of course). It works PERFECT in Debug, but throws an exception once packaged to the CDFS partition:

This has got to be one of the most frustrating issues with asp.net. I first got the error parser error cannot load default and as I have done before checked if the naming was correct in th bin folder and made the changes accordingly. Now I get the following error:
somethiing._DEfault is not allowed here because it does not extend class 'System.Web.UI.Page'
where something is the name of the project in the properties. I have the following code in Default:
Namespace FormDiscovery
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Shared settings As New System.Configuration.AppSettingsReader

Now I have deleted the project and other in the solution and created a new one and still this error and if I take the 'something' name away I get the cannot load default error.

I need to obtain the full path for a file located in somewhere in the system search path for executable files, when I only have the file name. Another user came up with the following code. However I was hoping to find something that is more directly supplied by the system, rather than a "roll your own" solution such as this one. Also, the solution below could run into problems, however unlikely, because it is possible for Windows file and folder names to contain semicolons. The split function doesn't pay any attention to quotes, and could therefore improperly split a path that includes a folder name with an embedded semicolon.
Private paths() As String = Split(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH"), ";")
Private messageOutput As String
Private fileInPath as String = "notepad.exe" ' for example[code]....
i got to do a program in VB.NET that copies a file from a pc to a usb device. I use the method System.IO.File.Copy(FileToCopy, NewCopy) in which i have to specify the destination path. The problem is that when i change pc the destination can change: for example in my pc i read my USB pendrive o G: and on my friend pc i read the usb pendrive on E:. How can i solve that? May i specify a general path to my USB giving it a name or anything similar?

Ok so I have a small problem with an error I am catching. It only produces the file name and not the actual path of the file.I want to delete a folder and all the files and folders inside of it. However an error is thrown when a file is "read-only". A quick fix would be to set the attributes of that file to normal and then try again, the only problem is the error doesn't give you the location of the file.

I am currently trying to create a DLL for use with a RESTful api. The only issue I have is that so that this DLL can be used in a service or a program without a GUI, so I can't use "Imports System.Drawing.Imaging" as this requires a form.

I'm running windows 7 64 bit and using VS 2010. I'm trying to use the filesystem.getfiles to find a file on the computer and return the path for it. However, when I search C:/ and its subdirectories, it always throws an error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.UnauthorizedAccessException' occurred in mscorlib.dll"
I've looked everyone online and can't find a solution. I have administrator privileges and really I dont want people who use my app to have to adjust security settings for this to work. Is there not a way to search the C drive for a specific file and return its path? [Code]

Is it possible to use Console.Write to place a single character at the very bottom right of a typical 80x25 console, without having the console scroll the row up? This is the code that I'm using...
Imports System
Console.SetCursorPosition(Console.WindowWidth-1, Console.WindowHeight-1)
Console.Write("x")
This is not working like I would like it to. Any suggestions or alternatives? I've tested that SetCursorPosition does use a 0,0 coordinate system, already. Using the WindowWidth-1/Height-1 should put me in the lower right corner of the screen... which it does, but then Console.Write is putting the "x" down and continuing on to the next line.
I have an application that currently stores PDF files (and others) inside the database as BLOBs. The trouble with this method is that I've now got SQL Server databases in excess of 200 GB! I've finally figured out a way to still enable full-text search without needing to store the PDF files as BLOBs (yay! Adobe's iFilter isn't great.), but I'm having trouble designing the method for a client to get access to the files stored on the server's file system.
I want to place the files in a restricted directory on the server, so I can't simply pass a UNC path to the client and let them open the file from there either in a browser or using Process.Start(filename). I understand how that would work, but if that directory has user access granted, all sorts of security holes open up, right?So, what I'm thinking about is a way to have a SQL Server account that has read/write access to/from the protected file system directory. That way (in my mind), the SQL Server can take a file as it's loaded in through the import client (as a series of byte chunks) and write the file to that area of the filesystem. Then, when a file is requested, the SQL Server can bulk load the file into a varbinary(max) field and do whatever I want with it.
1. How can SQL Server take a stream of bytes and write them to a specified location on its local file system? (This is assuming that I want the import utility to be able to be run on a client machine and not require it to be run on the server itself.)
2. Is there any way to stream a varbinary(max) file to a web page out of SQL? I'm using a lot of PDF files that will have Fast Web View enabled, so if I can stream the bytes to a web page, the user will be able to see the first few pages of the document while the rest is loading. I thought about having the SQL Server read (bulk load) the file from the protected area and write it to an unprotected area just long enough to point a web browser to that location, then wiping the file, but that brings me back to #1 above and would THEN require me to be able to issue a delete command from SQL.
