Vb Odd Variable Use As Filepath
May 14, 2011
I have this function:
[Code]...
However while function 1 works, function 2 doesn't - I get this unhelpful error: Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' can be called without a narrowing conversion: 'Public Sub New(path As String)': Argument matching parameter 'path' narrows from 'Object' to 'String'. 'Public Sub New(stream As System.IO.Stream)': Argument matching parameter 'stream' narrows from 'Object' to 'System.IO.Stream'. C:Usersfilms ratingsfilms ratingsForm1.vb I normally work in PHP and I've never seen an error of this nature before. What does it mean and can I re-write the function to get what I want?

I would like to open a file for editing that is stored in a folder called templates that has been added to my project. I know how to open a file that is all good, what i would like to know is a method to give a string the filepath to folder called templates that is (my dumb way of describing it) shown in the solution explorer of the ide.
I could give it the actual string as the location like "documentsandsettings etc etc" but incase the project is stored on a usb stick and used from there i would like to know the proper way of doing this.

I have used log4net in winforms before. First time using with a wpf console app. The console shows up and the console appender works exactly as in the winforms app. However in winforms I never had to give the full path to the log4net xml file. It is located in the same place where all the cs files are. (the default place where VS 2010 puts all its source files. So
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo("log4config.xml"));
works in a winforms app's Program.cs->main() but for the wpf version where I have my own Startup class with my own Main() (instead of the autogenerated and hidden main()) I have to change the line to look like this
XmlConfigurator.ConfigureAndWatch(new System.IO.FileInfo(@"c:fullpathlog4config.xml"));
This took me quite a while to nail down so I thought it may be worthwhile to figure why this is so. Anyone know ? I am using log4net ver 1.2.10.0. The log4net dll and xml both have copy to local = true in winforms and wpf.

I'm Currently using the following code to open up a folder containing Text and Bitmap files only and store them in arrays.
Dim d As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and Settings" & GetUserName() & "My DocumentsWolfRiderGamesWaterGameMaps")
Dim FileCount As Integer = d.GetFiles.GetUpperBound(0) + 1
[Code]....
What I need is an extra bit at the end that takes the first bitmap file found and puts it in a picturebox called "PicCenter".
I need to have this done through converting its filepath to the image itself.
I will also Need an explaination of how you did it (If its complicated) because i'll need to do it again later.
Im using Visual Studio 2010.
I Know how to do most simple things in VB which usually allows me to do a workaround for something like this, but this one I couldn't.

I want to create a listview with 2 columns, on the first column, a series of names
and on the second a series of filepaths. I want each name to be linked to a filepath and then when the user clicks on the name in the first column, the filepath can be used in another bit of code. How would I do this, never used listviews before.

I have a form linked to a ticketing system. The user can select what file they want to attach through the asp:fileUpload object. I was wondering how I can extract the full file path from the asp:FileUpload object; something like "C:Documents And SettingsMy Documentsinfo.txt" as an example.

I'm running into some challenges with getting the syntax correct for XmlData in VB.
This is OK:
<Test()> _
<XmlData("//data")> _
But I want to add either FilePath or ResourcePath:
<Test()> _
<XmlData("//data", ResourcePath = "Data.xml")> _[code].....
VS complains 'Too many arguments to 'Public Sub New (ItemPath As String)'You'll note that in this error message VS shows there is only ONE parameter expected.However, if you type <XmlData( - VS shows list of EIGHT parameters are expected.

I have following code:
Dim fs As FileStream
fs = New FileStream(path, FileMode.Create)
Dim sw As StreamWriter
sw = New StreamWriter(os)

Is this a correct way to do this? Do i need to put in some checks to see if file exists?

I am getting the following error when trying to open a vb .net 1.0 project using VS2002."Unable to open Web project 'ProjectName'.The file path 'FilePath' does not correspond to the URL 'ProjectURL'.

Public Class Form1
Dim x, c, number(0 To 19) As Integer
Dim s As Integer
[CODE]...
The variables in the brackets [example] do not actually have brackets in them in the original code. These are where the issues are. For both variables, it says, "The type for variable [variable] will not be inferred because it is bound to a field in an enclosing scope. Either change the name of [variable], or use the fully qualified name (for example, 'Me.[variable]' or 'MyBase.[variable]')." Now, I'm not entirely sure if this is a stupid question or not, as I'm used to VB '98 because that's what we use in my programming class at High School. let me know why this won't work.
-Note: The intention of this program is to continually loop the generation of numbers for this list until I tell it to stop. Button1 ends the program, Button2 generates the list one time only, Button3 is supposed to loop the generation of the list, and Button4 is supposed to end the loop, but not the program.

Say that i have the following code that parse about 20k records from the DB.
Code #1
vb.net While reader.Read()
list.Add(If(Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, 0), Integer.Parse(reader(0).ToString), 0))
End While
And then another code which does the very same thing but it seems to be a little cleaner.
Code #2
vb.net While reader.Read()
Dim storeowner As Integer = 0
Integer.TryParse(reader(0).ToString, storeowner)
list.Add(storeowner)
End While
This is what i am confused about; does the compiler creates a new variable automatically when i use the if statement without strictly declared variable? What approach is better in sense of performance?

I am looking for a good resource on variable naming conventions to illustrate variable type and where variables are declared. So I will have public variables, Private variables, private or local variables. I also may want to declare variables with the same name in different class code (i.e. in the code behind different forms). I am assuming good coding would dicatate a prefix for declaration location.
