[code]In the above code as the file path is mentioned it can be declared as an environmental variable as %TEMP%Abc.exe.Because in code the path is called hardcoded path means we are giving the path to look for the exe in that folder but it should not happen,Because in each and every machine %TEMP% value varies.So I just want to know how to use that environment variable and call Abc.exe like [code]By googling I got to know the function we have to use is GetEnvironmentVariable() .
but, when I run it, it produces an error: Compile Error: Variable not defined and it points to the second "Environment" string, the one inside the parenthesis. Is there a reference that I should be enabling?
I have 20 Textboxes with several values. I want to update a table in my database with these values. I have made a binding to the database for each box but when I run the command
it updates the textboxes with the value wich allready are in the database and not the other way around. I want to replace the data in the DB with the new values in the textboxes

I am trying to redirect command line output to a list box in a vba macro, and I've found some code that I think might point me in the right direction, but I keep on getting the same error. When I use this code [code]It gives me the error in the title and highlights the first declaration line.What does it take to define a new "process".
We have a couple of applications at work that need a reference to the license server set in the User Variables under the Enviroment Variables on the windows xp client machines(system properties, Advanced, Enviroment Variables). The problem is that both applications needs a reference to the same variable name and you can't have two with the same name. What i intend to do is to create a simple windows application with a button for each application that deletes the variable item present, adds a new variable item with the value needed for that application to be able to run and then run the application itself. This is just a temporary fix until we get a more permanent solution. The 'GetEnvironmentVariable' class in vb is not able to add or delete a item, maybe the WIN32 API could do the job.
I was trying to learn how to do openGL within a VB .NET environment and it seems that the Tao framework or OpenTK is recommended with OpenTK having a higher recommendation so that is what I chose to try using. Since I am brand new to this, I am trying to just draw a simple box, triangle, or anything really so that I can understand it all before making more complex things. I have been unsuccessful at this so far so I will list in order what I have done so far and hopefully someone here can help me correct it or provide a new example just so I can draw a simple shape.
1) I installed OpenTK using opentk-2010-10-06.exe
2) In a new project I added the references to OpenTK.dll and OpenTK.Compatibility.dll
3) I added the control (opentk.glcontrol.dll)
4) I added the actual control to my form.Using some examples online I added the rest:
Outside of the environment after running the setup program I can tell that the setup is failing miserably. The all important file "cakecreationdb.accdb" cannot be found. I have been beating my brains out against a brick wall on this one.
i am trying to read an existing excel 2007 file from vb.net i used a form with single button and i written code in button click event code is :[code...]
I use Environment.NewLine, my colleagues use vbCrLf.When I'm doing a code review for them I want something that I can point to to say "use Environment.NewLine instead of vbCrLf"
Or, am I just peeing in the wind, and it doesn't really matter ?
I am trying to change the way my aspx pages load when I double-click on them in my development environment. I wish for the markup to show instead of the design. So, I go into "Tools" -> "Options" -> "HTML Designer" and make my changes. However, I have to do this every time I get into VS. How do I make those changes stick?
Is one able to compile VB 6 code in Visual Studio.NET ? In other words, is it backwards compatible with older VB code?Since I know there is a difference between managed code (.NET) and unmanaged code, I am wondering if Visual Studio.NET is able to compile unmanaged code as well?
Ok, I am needing to capture the username of the user who is logged into a third party software (similar to citrix) which then will launch compiled vb.net applications from the 'Cloud'. If the user logs into their windows active directory machine as Smith123, and then logs into this third party software as SmithS, and launch a compiled program which runs on the remote server, and executes a button that displays the environment .username results, what will return? Smith123 or SmithS?
I am trying to figure this out, and I would just create a program and try it out myself but going through all of the hoops, bells and whistles of where I work just to get a simple compiled piece of code up on the server can be a pain sometimes..
Environnent.NewLine seems to be resolving to two spaces " " (as are vbCrLf and ControlChars.CrLF). Using StringBuilder, AppendLine is doing the same.I've been racking my brain and searching the Internet trying to figure out why this the way it is, but am coming up empty.
I am trying to generate .bat file based on user interface decisions. I need to have separation between lines. I'm trying:
I successfully converted a VB6 program to .net 2008. Phew. Thats the fast way to learn a new language I'd like to get an exe that I can try running out of the design environment. Is that the "Publish" menu selection?
I have a form, and essentially, I want to open the .txt file when it is dropped on my program, in textbox2 in form1. I read you use Environment. GetCommandLineArgs(), but how exactly would you do it?
I made a simple Form1, with Text.Box1 (starting value=1) and Text.Box2 (starting value = 100000), as shown in the attachment: I wanted that, when the Form loads,value of Text.Box1 keeps on increasing by 2 and value of Text.Box2 keeps on
I am looking to read a text line from an ini file which may contain strings like %systemRoot% or other environment variables. I was able to write small function to parse such strings as long as it appears only once in the path. for example my fuction can parse %systemroot%system32 and return c:winntsystem32.however if the string contains %systemroot%\%username% i am not sure how to handle that.
I am trying to run a vb .net 2005 executable file in the Windows Pre Execution Environment. Tha application is very simple, it will show a form with 2 buttons, one button is exit, the other runs a shell command.When i try to run the exe, absolutely nothing happens. The form is not displayed at all. Anyone know why? The app works fine in a normal windows environment.
I am wondering if I can use VB.NET(I am using visual studio 2010 express) to get and set a environment variable.
I want to add path of my application on system environment. I want to preserve what is already there and then I wan to add my string. This can be done by getting value of PATH and then append my string then re writing it.

I want my project to be remote/network using lan environment, in what way i can do this?
I've googled a bit and saw someone said they had success in simply dragging the .dll files over to their application's path. I have tried this as well, and unfortunately it doesn't work. It stops the errors, but my chart is entirely blank. Some of the features of the chart work. ie: the legend shows up. But I have hidden some items from the legend and they still appear in the legend while running on a 2.0 system. For example, on my development machine, it shows 4 items in the legend, but on the 2.0 machine, there are all 7 - including the 3 that I have hidden.
