I've been searching the web in general (and this forum specifically) for information on setting up Help documentation on a project - but the 'help' in the search just seems to give too much.I've never set up help documentation and was wondering if there is a good primer anywhere on the web or in a book - I've looked through VB books and none cover this topic also the I've so far been unable to absorb the official MS docs.

I've highlighted the part of the adress that changes. As you can see, it's a date, but not nessesarily the current date. It could be yesterday, or the day before. I've tried something like this:
Dim link
link = "http:www.fiskeridir.no/content/download/4641/30774/version/254/file/Register-internett-*.xlsx"
This doesn't work.

I have a folder that contains multiple word documents. I need to monitor this folder for any changes in these word documents. I am facing the following problems.
File system watcher never reports the exact name of file being changed. For example for file abc.doc, it reports "~$abc.doc is changed" on first save.For all subsequent saves to that file, OnChanged event in the following code is not called. When I changed the filter to watcher.Filter = ".", I found that for subsequent saves, it reports "~WRL0001.tmp is changed".
So the bottom line is that I never know the exact name of the file changed.[code]...
I want to be able to code a small system that reads a set directory, for new PDF or Word DOC file types.
Then i want to print them.
I understand, with reference to this thread, - [URL]
and this one - [URL]
that i can use MS Word automation to print the document, but i would like the application to read the folder constantly in real time and then print what ever is 'new' in the folder.
Would there be any advantage to code my own print driver?
I'm reading a text doc from my hard drive. I'm reading it via a stream reader.
On a button click i'm reading it again, because the contence of the text doc may have been updated, what I want to do is show in one textbox the actual file and in another one just what is new. How can I compare them?
Is it possible to build a search engine to use on a DVD that contains Word documents, text documents, etc.? Say I wanted to find all documents with the name "James" in them. In the search box I would type "James", and it would return the results of everywhere James is found. Or suppose I wanted to find all Land Deeds where James is found, is that possible? All search engine examples that I have seen on VB Help has to do with databases, and I guess to an extent, my DVD would be the database.
View 6 RepliesI need help in coding VB 2008 so that it can combine several word document into one to be used for a mail merge template.I need to:
1) combine the word doc (does not work see note 1)

3) create a pdf. (works, only for the rewrite doc)[code]
I know there is a lot of forums out there regarding this, but I haven't been able to find what I need and I am somewhat new to this. I would like the simple openfiledialog code button click to attach a word document or PDF and upload it to a SQL server table to be saved. I would like to use my current datasets and controls without creating another SQL query within my project as I have seen in other forums, unless that is the only method. I know that the data needs to be saved as an image type with the file name and extension but I just need the code for this. I would then like to download the doc or pdf to view it within a form.
View 3 RepliesThis is the MSDN example for handling the BeginReceive callback.BeginReceive is called over and over until no more data is available, i.e. EndReceive returns 0. However I am finding that the callback is only fired when there is data available.
I'm guessing that the example is simply wrong or refers to expected behaviour in a previous version of .NET, although it says it is for 3.5.So how do I ensure I have received all of the available data?

My team is using the Mere Mortals .NET framework from Oak Leaf. Being used to working with primarily open source software, I found it excruciatingly painful to find ANY community support for MM.NET. When I asked if there was any, the only place I was given to look for support was Universal Thread, which is a site which requires a membership for search on archived questions. It seems like a third party, pay-for site should not be the primary source of support for anything like this, especially MM.NET which costs $700 per developer. It doesn't seem to me like an entire community around MM.NET would choose to all pay on top of the license just to use a forum. If not Universal Thread, then what is the "official" place to find support for the Mere Mortals .NET framework?

I have a form that is first displayed as 425 x 66. When you press a button, the form expands to 425 x 398 and a message appears (a label prooperty) with the text: Processing Files. When the files are finished prosessing, a listbox appears and summarizes which records were added to the database.
The label begins as Not Visible. After I change the size of the form, I change the label property to Visible.
This used to work, but now, for some reason, the text simply doesn't appear.
I tried changing the lblproperty to Visible at startup but when I do this I get a black bar where my lable should appear.
