I would like to use WebRequest to display information on a file in a remote directory, and then if it satisfies the requirements, I would like to download the file using WebClient.DownloadFile. Can someone give me a quick example of how I would implement this routine?
View 2 RepliesI am trying to open a .csv file via openfiledialog and then display information on a datagridview...What would be some ways to approach this? I have tried reading the file, separating the values by commas and placing them in a string followed by placing the string into a list. I place them in a list because I have more than one string of text I want operated in the CSV file. How can I display each string of separated values onto my datagridview?

I have a program that needs to display a playlist of songs, for a band performing someplace, from a .txt file. The songs in the file are listed as follows:
All You Need is Love-Beatles
Rock
4.25
[code]....
The first line is the song's title and group name. The second is the songs genre. The third line is the songs length, 4.25 is 4 minutes and 25 seconds.upon clicking a button, I need to display a playlist from this .txt file based on the number of minutes the band has to play, minutes entered into a TextBox, and the songs genre, selected from a ComboBox. The songs cannot repeat and must be random.I have already coded the program to read the .txt file but have not clue where to start with the rest.
How to display a hierarchical file structure with checkboxes for each file and directory. The end result should be something like:
+[] ROOT+[] dir1[]file 1[]file 2+[] dir2[]file 3[]file 4
How I might do something like this? The intention is to take in a full list of files and be able to pair it down to a custom list.
I work for a company in the IT department. I want to gather data from the PC's in my company on the Domain. I want to gather info such as Installed apps, type of computer, Display adapter, nic card, ram, hard disk, cpu speed, OS, SP, installed printers both locally and network printer installed on the PC. There are also a couple of thing in the registry I want to grab that tell me when the PC was installed and what Image we used to installed it. I want the program to say all that. Another thing I wanted was to show the current user who is logged in and what groups they are in from the Domain and also when his password expires. I really like the way Max_carpenter does his and I wanted to add these options to his.
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to develop a windows application where i can get connected to remote server and look for process state going in remote server.We have many remote servers where automatic installation of software going on. We have an xml file(installstatus.xml) where it tells us at what stage the installation is (Example : Inprogress , Completed, Failed.)
So our aim is to develop a windows application where i can get connected to that servers and look for their installation status(may be we can use installstatus.xml to look for installation status). Every time i connect to a server, the server information should get stored in XML file(i want to create a xml file where all the servers list i connect to should get stored)
The UI at left side should will have list of servers i can connect to. When i get connected to server, at right side of UI, i want to display the status of installation (In progress, failed , completed).
I need a code that runs on a machine that I am remotly connected to and displays the IP address or the PC name of my computer that I'm connected from.

I need to get the list of all the filenames through SFTP with VB. I'm trying to place it in an ArrayList, but unsure on the commands to use.[code]...
View 2 RepliesI'm not really sure where to begin for this. I'd like to scan a specified server directory for all files that it contains in the directory. (I will then compare the sizes to files already existing on the user's machine, but that I've got covered.)
If there's any way I could get around using FTP, I'd be very grateful, as this won't be entirely secure.
I did some exploring of the WebClient and WebRequest classes, but failed to conceive of a way to do this.
I am using VB2005 and trying to put an application together.What it needs to do is retrieve information from a binary file, possibly alter that information, and put it back into a new file.The file is a .wav file with data appened to the end. There is an additional section at the end of the .wav file which stores xml data.I have found that if I open this in a hex editor and make a 1:1 swap on any of the bytes that the application that the file is for can still read the XML.If I tried to add or remove characters from the XML then it would not read. I located a header byte and incremented it to resolve this.
This worked as an excellent bandage to do conversions where the data always needed to be changed to the same thing.What I have been asked to do is build logic that allows for different things to happen depending upon what data is contained within the file.The method that I am currently trying to impliment is:
Read through the file with a system.io.binaryreader
Searche for a bytestream that will signal data is coming
For example:
If System.IO.File.Exists("C: est estread.wav") Then
Dim findit() As Integer = New Integer() {&H3C, &H55, &H73, &H72, &H44, &H65, &H66, &H30, &H31, &H30}
Dim i As Integer[code].....
And then extract all the data till the end of element marker "<" It seemed like there should be a better way and I was looking for some insight. If I proceed with this method, I will have to read the file one time to gather the information and then a second time to write it all out with the header modified for length.This is my first experiene with working with binary files in this way.Also,I've been experiementing with building a string and slapping it back in at the end using the binarywriter.write(string) method.I noticed that it was putting in header characters before the string.These seem to change if I change the length of the string.At one point it was d0 07. Later it became e7 07. Does anyone know of a way to prevent this header from being inserted?
I tried a for each loop to grab all of the characters from the string, convert them to a byte array and deposit the byte array into the file, but the header remained the same. When I write the byte array generated from a system.io.binaryreader I do not get this header.

I currently have need to modify the Active Directory information for all of my users. At the moment, they have phone and mobile numbers stored in the format xxxxx-xxxxxx. The first x is ALWAYS a 0.
What I want is to do is enumerate all users in a chosen container in AD (with the option to include or exclude subcontainers), then read in any phone numbers they may have (bearing in mind not everyone has a direct dial number or mobile). I then need to replace the initial 0 with +44 (0) and write that information back into Active Directory.

I am interested in uploading an image to a file field using httpwebrequest or similar however I am stuck on a few things. Would it be a matter of add the file field and the image I would like to upload as the value? I'm not looking for code, I would like to learn how this can be accomplished.
[Code]...
I'd like to use the webrequest webresponse method to test for the existence of a file.If the first file is there, then I want to test for the existance of the same filename with -1.htm appended to it. If that filename exists, then test for filname-2.htm This continues until the filename being tested comes back 404 error. At which point, the program does NOT blow up, but the do until loop stops and the code continues. I have to search for a link on each one of the pages found once I have determined how many pages there are.How do I test for a file and not have it blow up? It has to loop and it goes through at least once. this is code I wrote. Right now the page just keeps going and going. IE's little logo on the page tab keep going around in a circle like it's in an endless loop.

So I moved the code to an ASP.Net web app, which is impersonating a service account through the Impersonate section of web.config. The account I am impersonating does not have admin rights on any of the workstations so I put in a username/password into the constructor for the computer entry like so:
Dim deComputer As New DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + Computername + ",computer", username, password).The username is that of a domain account which has local admin rights on every workstation. If I look at the Username property of the resulting deComputer object I can see that the username matches what I entered.Also if I enter in an invalid password it throws an error, so it is authenticating in some fashion.
However if I now try and add or remove a user from a remote workstation I get a general access denied error. If I add the service account that ASP.Net is using as a local admin on that workstation it will add and remove no problem.So next I tried using the LogonAPI (advapi32.dll ->LogonUser call) to login as the user account that is a local admin on all workstations, impersonated the resulting WindowsIdentitiy and tried running just the original deComputer instantiation. When I do this every property, excepty Path, returns an OLE exception..
