Use To Send And Retreve Files From An External Harddrive Through Older Laptop?
Jul 7, 2009
I am currently working on a program that only I can use to send and retreve files from an external harddrive through my older laptop. But I have only just started and need help with the login form. I want my password and user on labels placed on form 2 and need form 1 to retreive them then I click the login button, however I want form1 to close if the user or password are incorrect. How could I go about placing an if then statment for if correct then it opens a new window if wrong then end program. Heres my login code so far.
Private Sub Login_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Login.Click
If User.Text = "*********" And Pass.Text = "*******" Then
MessageBox.Show("Welcome")
[Code]...

I have a basic bit of code which i am using to delete text files within a given directory[code]...
intdays is a variable which determines how many days the files should be retained for.
To test the code i set intdays to 0, assuming that it would delete any files in the directoy. However it doesn't, but creates no errors.
The time "Now" is #2/8/2012 13:59:00 PM# which is greater than 0. But im confused as to why it doesnt then delete the file?

I'm working on this program to delete .tmp files that are older then 5 days. The only problem that im running into is if there are no files older than 5 days to display a messagebox "There are no .tmp files older than 5 days". Im using VB.net, this is that i have so far.

I need to delete older bkf files in a directory, only leaving the newest 20.
No, I can not just delete older than x days because there can be more than one backup file per day and some times it may be 2-3 days before a backup file appears.

I need to write an app to delete files on server Older than X days to clean up disk space. The job/app needs to be scheduled to run say once in a month. Please suggest what would be the best way to handle it? Can Windows Workflow Foundaton be used to achieve the task?

I have a list of directories that get files added to by other users on my network.I would like a script (triggered by scheduled task) that would detect if there are files in these folders older than 15 minutes, and send me an email. I am able to run Batch/DOS, Python, Perl, or VBS - I have them all installed on the server. As long as they can be triggered from Scheduled task.
Example:
C:UsersFTPJoeSFromCustomer <files dropped here>
C:UsersFTPMarkFromCustomer <files dropped here>
C:UsersFTPRobbieFromCustomer <files dropped here>
C:UsersFTPTammyFromCustomer <files dropped here>

I'm trying to send a click to an external app using the coordinates inside it, not the coordinates of the screen, if you can understand me...
How can I do this? Being more exactly, I'm trying to get a radio button's coordinates of an external application, then, clicking it (using its coordinates, not its class/name), if its possible...

currently my VB Skills aren't so good so bare with me here. application to be able to send keystrokes to another without having it popup. Like it should remain minimized, it shouldn't interfere with whatever you are doing on your PC while it sends the strokes. I received this request from some one else to do. So basically I just need to get focus to the application while it remains minimized and send keystrokes.

How can i use the address bar to send commands to a external application?
Example:
AOL Instant Messenger -
I havent used this application in a long time. But i remembered if you wanted to add a friend to AIM from their online profile it directed them to a link such as:
aim:addfriend=contactID
and AIM would pick this up and add it the contactID to the application. The link i posted is more than likely not the correct link they use but it shows what im trying to accomplish.
Im looking to achieve something along the lines of:
myApplication:command=commandValue

Every time when I try to send emails to external Email ids using SMTPClient, it is failing (not sending and no error message). However, when I try to send Emails to my internal staff, it is working fine. I cant find the reason why it is not sending to External Contacts. All of these external contacts have been added in the Exchange serber 2010 Mail contacts.[code]...

I have an interesting issue, I'm trying to automate a data retrieval process.Currently the user goes out to a secure web site and inputs his/her username and password and then selects the ok button, they then proceed to the location where the data is located at and do a copy and paste. I have thought about using the SendKey method from VBA but everything I see says it's not reliable.I believe I have the section after the sending of the login/password completed. For the life of me I can't figure out how to automatically input the username and password and then select the "OK" button. Before anyone asks, no can't view the source code so I can't get the ID field, there is no way for me to view the source code at all I have tried multiple different options all with no luck.

When I send a mail from my external program through Outlook, then I get the security warning.
I've tried bypassing it with secman and redemption, but both these tools doesn't allow the app to be "Any CPU".
I need the app to be Any CPU because it must be x64 on client and x86 in design (since designer doesn't allow inherited forms on x64).
So how would you go around Outlook security?
Should I write some kind of TCP-listener-Outlook-Addin and then send a TCPIP from client with mail info?

How can I create a simple application to send timed controls to an external device?
What I need is to create a very simple application that sends control signals or voltages out to an external device connected via serial perhaps. The external device will in turn trigger some electromechanical devices. There needs to be 24 independent controls each with a simple command equivalent to on or off. What is important is being able to control the timings of the on and off on each control.[code]....

I am using vb.net express 2008, with a windows form application, and its done. My application makes use of cmd script files, and other files I have created myself. I want to put everything in an install bundle, which will copy the files to a directory on the users computer, and then my application can read from that directory, for it to function as it should. The install bundle includes the .exe of my winforms application.Right now, I hardcoded my application to look into a specific folder on my system, just for testing purposes, but I am going to deploy it soon, and I want to give as much flexibility to the user.

I want to get letters to each harddrive I have recognized in WMI . I give an example:I have:
1x HDD (400 GB) Samsung (fixed) - 4 partitions (one of them is for Linux, the biggest problem!)
1x HDD (250 GB) Seagate (external) - 1 partition
And in Windows I can see 4 harddrives. So the thing: How can I get exact letters belonging to Samsung, and letter(s) belonging to Seagate? Make sure, that user can have more drives and more partition (maybe Linux too) ... I can divide my Seagate too, like 20 GB and 230 GB ... you know. I've checked much things in WMI like Win32_DiskPartition, but it does not help me so much ...

I'm very new to VB, so I was in the very first tutorial, it has me play a sound file. So I put that in, ran it, and it came back with an error saying "system cannot find this file." I guess I'm not terribly surprised, since the file they gave has no C: or anything like that. What I want to do now is play my very own sound file, but I don't want to go through the whole C:Documents and Settings... thing, so is there a way I can put my own sound file in the project directory and say something like %ProjectDir%/sounds/mysound.wav?

I'm writing a program that allows users to view certain files using a DataGridView as the selection method I can do most of that just fine. Here's the part I'm having trouble with: I want to open the files using whatever program they have associated with the file extension. After researching it (on these forums), I determined that I should use the Process.Start() method. However, Windows throws an Win32Exception if there is no association to the filetype, and I want it to show the "Open With" dialog instead, and I can't figure out or find how to do that.

I'm working on an app that should be able to read files from an External Hard Drive or even an iPhone or iPod. I'm a beginner so it would be great to keep it simple :) I suppose I should use the SerialPort class? But I'm not sure and I couldn't make it work.

I am using Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition. Some of the programs I am writing make extensive use of External files (saved games, data, item lists, etc.) I could use an easy way to get these files to ride allong during deployment (cd mostly). adding them to the resources works for some static pictures, but custom structures into lists of info to read and write from are beond that features abilities, same with the settings feature. I have found in other help referance to "MageUI.exe" so is downloading a .net SDK my solution or is there a better trick I can use?
