Windows - Automate File Copy VB Script?

Apr 1, 2012

I found a script online to copy some files whilst also displaying a progress bar to the user. I wondered if it was possible to automate this process so the file copy initiates as soon as the program launches and then closes once completed. VB is not my strong point as I usually code in c sharp.

Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1

Using Windows Hooks To Automate Filling In Webbrowser Control Authentication Dialogues?

Jul 9, 2009

I'm developing an VB.NET application which utilizes a webbrowser control. The browser control needs to navigate to a simple page which prompts the user for their user name and password. However, this prompt is not simply a web form, but it is a completely new dialog window. I need a way to automate filling in the username and password in this dialog by using locally stored credentials, so that there is no interruption in the webbrowser control's navigation. The only information that I have been able find so far that might be useful in solving this problem, involves using windows hooks in the user32.dll to intercept and negotiate with these windows at a low level.

VS 2008 Copy File To Network With Windows Service

Dec 9, 2009

I am working on a backup utility for use with the mysql db. Because I need the actual backup to run regardless of if a user is logged on or not, I created the backup engine in a windows service.

Basically the backup engine checks to see if a backup job is scheduled to be run and if it is, it kicks off a mysqldump to do the backup. For sake of performance I am saving all backup jobs to the local c: drive then doing a file copy to the user defined destination.

Everything works fine except for the file copy. If the user selects a local resource to the computer it works fine. However, if a network drive is selected, I get an error that it cannot find the path.

I started thinking about it and believe this is expected since the backup engine is probably oblivious to whatever mapped drives that particular user has, i.e. the mapping process is done when someone logs in and my app is running at a lower level.

I started doing some research on this problem and found that some people are saying that windows services are oblivious of networks all together. This seemed a little odd to me so I thought I would bring the issue here.

Is a windows service truely unaware of network activity? How can I change the program to move the completed backups over to a network drive?

Deterime Length Of Time It Would Take For File.Copy To Copy A File?

I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).

Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.

Automate A Process - Open A Website And Navigate Through It - Enter File Name And Path - Not Populate The Text

Feb 2, 2009

I am trying to automate a process I do with a bank with vb.net. Basically I need to open a website and navigate through it (Automatically through the program obviously), enter a batch ID and enter a file path and name. For some reason when I get to the part where I need to enter the file name and path, it simply will not populate the text. I have attached a word document with screenshots and code. The only difference I can see, is that in the bank website's code the the input type for the file text is "FILE" rather than "TEXT" as it is for the batch id...

Windows Service To Copy Files?

Jul 19, 2011

I have written a service to run an exe.What I have also tried to do is check if the file is present on the local computer, and if not copy it from a networked drive to the local computer.

If File.Exists("\\static1\software\testapp.exe") = True Then
File.Copy("\\static1\software\testapp.exe", "C:\Program Files\Testing\testapp.exe")
End If

I have previously ensured that the directory exists.When I run this as a service, it doesn't work. No errors are thrown up, but the file is not copied.When I put this into a windows forms application it works fine.

I have used:

Imports System.IO

In the header. why this won't work?

I have also tried:

My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("\\static1\software\testapp.exe", "C:\Program Files\Testing\testapp.exe")

And that also does not work.I am trying to run this on Windows XP Professional.

1 - If I click Solution - Add - Existing And hand pick the 3 form files (the .vb, the .resx and the .designer.vb) then I can see those 3 files as textfiles, not as a "real" VB form!

2 - I want to duplicate Form1 to create Form2 that is slightly different.

Disable Cut Copy Paste, Rename, Etc In Windows Registry?

Feb 15, 2012

I'm trying to create a software in VB.Net to disable the following from a Windows 7 pc. Cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, open, print, share, create shortcut, open with, send to, properties. i want to give users the option of disabling them selectively/individually via checkboxes so those options will be disabled in the right-click of a mouse. I'm aware that to do so I must disable them from the Windows registry.

My problem is I don't know which is the right key to disable as the registry is so huge & some keys are similiarly named. say what are the exact key locations of the above-mentioned right-click functions in the Windows Registry ?

VS 2008 Rename,Copy And Paste Directory Denied In Windows 7?

Jul 26, 2011

So i have this code that will rename one of the folder:

FileIO.FileSystem.RenameDirectory("C:Program FilesYahoo!", "Yahoo!1")

but when I run the code..it say's: IOException was Unhandled

Access to the path 'C:Program FilesYahoo!' is denied.

I think the OS is the cause of the problem. because in Windows 7 it asks for permission to change the name.

How could i make the program to continue renaming when the log in user is administrator.

Error On Global.asa - Central Place To Put Routine - Instead To Copy It Into Every .vb File That Belongs To Each .apsx Code File

The idea is to have a central place to put the routine in instead to copy it into every .vb file that belongs to each .apsx code file.
