I have developed a tool to watch a folder using the below thread.
[URL]
Issues i am facing
1. Its not working on Samba Server
2. I need it to watch on predefined times only. (i.e., may be every 5 Hrs)
PBL (Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate)
I'm having a problem trying to work out how to watch a folder for changes. This is how far I've got:
Class MainWindow
<PermissionSet(SecurityAction.Demand, Name:="FullTrust")> _
Private Sub Window_Loaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
[Code]....
The problem is when a change occurs in the folder the program exits with no error code. I've read a few related posts and I know it has something to do with thread safety. However I've no idea how to make this program "thread safe".
We can watch the file action by FileSystemWatcher but it give us to only create,rename,delete or replace action report, can we get file access action ? for example when user double click any file? or when run any application?
View 8 RepliesI have found a few examples of this. basically instead of it watching only one folder, how would I have it watch any folder that's not named system32? I know I would need something similar to this:

I need to watch a folder in our network and if any files get dropped in any time of the day I need to ftp to a different folder.
View 4 RepliesI want to watch a folder which is in a server (LAN) from my system. I have done it for the local system and it is working fine but I want watch a folder in a server.
View 3 RepliesI am trying to watch files in a directory to determine when files are opened/accessed. I thought FileSystemWatcher would do the trick using the event Changed.
Problem is that some applications do not create a lock on the file they open/access or change either the date modified or date accessed (even after fsutil behavior set disablelastaccess 0). Notepad for example. Apparently is makes a copy of the file in memory and plays with it there until you save it. Nor does it update the Date Accessed.
How can I monitor a directory of files and be notified when a file is simply opened/accessed by any program (e.g. Notepad)? Files may be opened from another computer, not necessarily on the computer running the "watcher".
I have to create a windows service which Monitors a specified folder for new files and does someprocessing on it and moves it to other location. I started with using FileSystem Watcher. But my boss doesn't like FileSystemWatcher and wants me to use polling on Timer or any other mechanism other than File System Watcher.
View 8 RepliesI have a MDI parent that opens another form like this:
Dim frm As New Form1
frm.ShowDialog(Me)
That form has a button that, when clicked, does this:
CreateObject("Shell.Application").ToggleDesktop()
The button operates as expected (showing the desktop) most of the time but occasionally does not minimize the MDI parent. All the other windows, including the form above get minimized every time.
I'm trying to teach myself how to create an Occasionally Connected Application. I want to create a simple app (like a survey) that will store all the data on a server but have the front end run on the users computer. The users computer may or may not be connected to a server when the data is entered (they may be collecting data in the field).
Program does 3 things:
1. Shows data from database (ie, displays survey data stored on server)
2. Saves data to database (ie, new entries or changes to old entries)
3. Has a background thread that checks for network connection
a. If no connection exists:
i. Gets data, to show, from local database
ii. Saves data to local database
b. If connections exists:
i. Sync local database with network database
ii. To read data: Gets data to show from local database which is now synced with network)
iii. To save changes/new entry: Save changes to local database then sync changes with network, then send update call to anyone else running this app on a different computer so they will get the same changes?

I have a Windows Form custom control that displays alerts on a customer record. The control uses an Infragistics 9.1 UltraWinGrid to display these alerts, which is filled from a dataset populated by a business object. Some users are having issues viewing these alerts; the grid will be completely blank, like the fields were hidden for some reason. This sample code shows how the grid is populated:
Private Sub InquiryCallbackAlertList(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As FunctionRequestEventArgs)
Try
'Code to populate the dataset mdslist
AlertsGrid.Visible = True
[Code] .....
I have not had any success finding anything out about this problem. I did add some trace logic to check the 'HiddenResolved' property on the grid rows and am waiting to find out the results of that. Is there anything else that could be causing this grid to only be hidden for some users and not for others, and also could anything else be causing this only to happen occasionally?
Beginning development with SQL Server 2008, VB - Visual Studio 2008 on an application that will deploy laptops remotely for 6 months or more. The laptops will have no network or internet connection. There is a requirement to sync DB changes via shipment of USB flash drives.
The remote app will have a subset of the home database data. Some tables need to be synced bi-directionally, some uni-directionally. When the laptop comes home, it will do one last sync, the local DB will be wiped, and it will connect to the home DB.
Being that there are some identity key columns and the remote is only a subset of the the home, I am not sure that SQL Server replication or synchronization functions can be utilized.
Should I Create SQL Server Compact DB's on the remote system when it is deployed and do a table by table compare (in code) to another compact DB created on the flash drive when a sync is needed?
I am developing Windows Forms Application SRacq10 in VS2010 in VB.Net. It provides a WCF duplex service and obtains real time financial market data using COM object TWS (Trader Work Station) provided by Interactive Brokers, Inc. SRacq10 works well most of the time. Occasionally, it crashes; I have not been able to observe a pattern of circumstances when it crashes. When I try to add debug to a text file, I can never make it crash; that's not an acceptable solution in the long run. Here is the fault information when running the debug version outside of VS2010:
Event Viewer:
Faulting application name: SRacq10.exe, version: 1.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4de7a42c

We have a vb application with many forms that contain a "lookup" button that has an icon called find.ico. Once in a while, a user will open one of these forms and get the below error but not every time. Has anyone else run into a similar situation? Since it is not consistent, it's been very difficult to track down.
Exception Source: System.Drawing
Exception Type: System.IO.FileNotFoundException
Exception Message: find.ico
I get this error while im following the "Walkthrough Creating an Occasionally Connected Application" [URL]
Im already in the " To configure tables for local caching" > step 4.
Then when trying to connect this error pops.

While writing an app that uses a couple settings, they occasionally get re-set to empty. I haven't seen any pattern to this, but I do have a vague memory that there are certain circumstances that will reset the settings in a project under development. What are the circumstances that cause the settings to be reset?
View 6 RepliesI have an application written in VS2010 that targets FW2.0..It has no dependencies other than the framework.The application runs fine on the local drive.But one user tells me that he already had FW2.0 installed but had to install FW2.0 SP2 in order to get the exe to run if it was placed on a network/shared folder? Why would running from a server/shared folder make the application crash if Sp2 wasn't installed? some network/path error that was was fixed in SP2 that doesn't affect the app when running off the local C drive ?
View 1 RepliesIn my VB.net Winforms application I'm using the ITaskbarList3::SetOverlayIcon interface to set status overlays on the application's taskbar button (under Windows 7). This all seems to work fine for me, with the icons being shown and removed correctly.From the form load event, one of my functions makes the callSetOverlayIcon(parentForm.Handle, IntPtr.Zero, String.Empty)(where parentForm is the form which the load event has fired for) which very occasionally (on other people's machines) throws the following exception:

I have a bit of code that jumps around a few domains and adds a user to each of them. This follow is a piece of code I had to write to get around the issue of the .add and .invoke being ran asynchronously and occasionally causing errors.
It connects to the domain in question, passing a "CN" from the code in as a search filter but receives a COMException which is normally a LDAP sting config issue. The connection string in this is fine so I am not sure why it is having such a hard time.
Function GetUser(ByVal UserId As String) As DirectoryEntry
Dim objRootEntry As New DirectoryEntry
objRootEntry.Path = "LDAP://DC=SERVER,DC=LOCAL"[code]....
Why does SetOverlayIcon throw an 'Invalid cursor handle' COMException occasionally
View 1 RepliesI know in the older versions of Visual Studio, there was an "Add Watch" option where you can choose to stop execution when the value of the field changed. I am using VS 2010, and I can't figure out how to hit the breakpoint when the value of the field changes.
View 2 Repliesi have a variable that changes every few minutes and I am trying to find out the best way of going about 'watching' that variable and simply changing the text of a label based on the returned variable
so pseudo code on a button click at the moment i have a function that returns this variable
label1.text=myfunction.getName()so this works fine , It seem ugly to have some kind of sleep function that loops every couple of seconds to run myfunction.getName() every 2 seconds , as a bit of a newbie , I am just wondering how I can set up a function that basically says 'when myfunction.getName() changes , then change label1.text'
i have a next button that is enabled only after a textbox is filled its working fine but the problem when a user fills the textbox it will be enabled then clears the textbox it will stay enabled and he can proceed how to stop that ?

View 10 RepliesI'm testing a window application which was written in VB.Net 2003.I set a few BreakPoints and Debug the project.When the debugger hit one of the breakpoints, it stops at there. Its correct.But when I try to add one of the variables to "Watch", it said "error: cannot obtain value".I tried to search the Net and found that some said "its because of structures", some said "its because of passing too many parameters." and some said "its because of too many line of codes (LOCs)".but my problem is not in passing parameters or too many line of code.the function i set breakpoint has only around 300 LOCs (including around 100 line of comments)And the value I tried to get is from my TreeView which is on my Win Forms.its very strange that I can't even get the value from Forms.
View 7 RepliesI remember in vb6 you could set a watch on a variable and tell it to break when that value changes. I see where you set a watch value in 2005, but I don't see where you can set it up to break when the value changes.Am I missing something or did they remove this functionality?
