Use The Save As Dialog To Create An Entirely New Copy?
Mar 24, 2009
In Access or Excel, for instance, if I have a file named MyFile I can create an entirely new copy of it by going to File --Save As--; and pronto I have another File named ,say, MyFile2 while retaining my original file - MyFile - in its entirety.My question is: can I do same in VB? If I have a Solution named, MySolution, can I use the Save As dialog to create an entirely new copy of it while retaining the original Solution? If yes, how and if no, how do I do it?

I'm new to Visual Basic with no programming in my background. I've created a application without to many problems until now. I've looked around msdn but could not find any tutorial on how to create a "standard" save file dialog box. What I have found is some instruction with a lot of assumptions made such as I've done this before.

I am wanting to find out how to use the Win32 hooks to allow me to add extra save locations to the save and open dialog box so as to allow as an option for files to be saved directly to a database rather than a file system.I have tried looking online but can't find anything remotely usable for this, the only data on hooks that I can find involves Window operation hooks, mouse, leyboard, and shell hooks, nothing to do with files.

I am trying to save multiple text files using a save dialog.
I can save one textbox
SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
Dim File As System.IO.File
Dim Write As System.IO.StreamWriter
Write = File.CreateText(SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
Write.WriteLine(TextBox1.Text)
Write.Close()
but I don't know how to save multiple textboxes and richtext boxes. Would I have to use a screenwriter for this?

I have some dialogs in one resource file that I want to copy into another project. I opened the .rc file in the IDE and I can right-click on the dialog I want and I can choose the copy command. But when I right-click in the resource view, whether on the .RC entry or the "Dialog" entry below it, the paste command is disabled. Nor does drag&drop work.
How do I do this in Visual Studio 2010?

I've been looking at multithreading because I have been trying to make my own dialog box and it seems it might be the only solution. When I used dialog.show, there was no way to cancel the copying operation without the program finishing the current file it was copying (which I found to be annoying), and if I used dialog.showdialog, the program wouldn't continue executing code until I closed the dialog box. So I defined the thread and gave it a sub procedure to execute. But it turns out I can't directly access the main form's controls now. I read all about delegates and invoking and haven't come up with an answer to simply GET a value.
Here's the code in question:
Private Sub TransferFiles()
For FileCount As Integer = 0 To Me.ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
Dim NewName As String = Me.ListBox1.Items.Item(FileCount).Tag
Next
End Sub

I would like to modify SaveFileDialog to instead save a new directory (which will contain new files automatically generated for the user based on the name of the directory). I can produce the necessary code to carry out the intended functionality, but I want the dialog to prompt for a 'folder name' instead of 'file name' and to not display 'save as type'. Is this possible? Is there a better solution for a create new folder/directory dialog? I know about folderbrowsedialog, but I need to force the user to name a new directory and identify the location

The program I am making uses a save dialog box and when I save a file it works fine. When I save and overwrite the file it seems to append the data. For some reason it keeps all previous data and just writes the data again. I'm using the XMLWriter to save the files. Is there any way of fixing this?

I am creating a program that uses XML files and saves them automatically when the user updates information. When I have XElement.Save("Name.xml") it saves the XML file in the same directory as the EXE. What I am trying to do is allow the user so select the location of the XML. Also is loading XML files through the loaddialog box basically the same way as XElement.Load("Name.xml")?
