Windows - Have The Physical Path By Giving The Network Path?

Nov 29, 2010

Well now i have an issue which is pointing in the use of "path's" physical and network.I have a SQL server on a Server machine and i have a desktop machine used as client.I'm runing from my client machine a stored procedure in order to add a streaming data base.But also before i run this procedure i run another one which prepare the desired "path", this procedure takes:

myPath="\ServerSharedFolderSQL

in order to run the first procedure i have to turn myPath in each physical name:

myPath="DriveLetter:PublicWorkFilesSQL"

Now my Issue is how i will have the physical path, which is build it on the server and which it's from very difficult (to imposible) to know it? Basically i need a function which will return me the physical path, which the implementation it's not knowing to me. My developing environment is vb.net 2010?

Getting Physical Path Of File In Project Directory?

Dec 15, 2011

I am using Environment.CurrentDirectory to get the current directory, i.e. "D:ChuttuProjectsLICinDebug"

But, I want to remove "inDebug"

How can I do that? Or is there any way so that I can get the directory up to "LIC"?

Actually this is my connection string:

Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|LIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

But when I use this and try to insert data into the DB, the data is not inserted. When I use the connection string with a physical path it starts working:

Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:Chuttu VBProjectsLICLIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

I am trying to get the physical path of the mdf file and use it in the connection string.

EDIT:

This piece of code works fine:
Private Sub save()
Dim con As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=D:Chuttu VBProjectsLICLIC.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True")

Obtain Physical Path Of Specific Website

Sep 18, 2009

I have a web application (built as a product) that contains an XSL stylesheet that I'd like to use in a console application I've written in VB.Net in support of that web application. Is there a way to automatically determine the physical path to where the web application is installed? I know that the IIS Metabase holds this information, I just don't know how to access it.

What I have is the path to the web site. For example: [URL]. I'd like to look up in the IIS Metabase (on a specific server) to find the physical path
(For example: c:inetpubwwwrootmyapplicationfolder)
Is this possible from a console application running on either that server or even another server? (assume the account running the process has full admin rights).

Convert Unix File Path To Windows Path?

Jun 14, 2012

I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.

i tried using:

docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")
docs(i) = docs(i).Substring(0, position) + ":" + docs(i).Substring(position + 1)

this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.

Application Path Over Network

Jul 28, 2011

I have an application in vb.net that runs over a network. Actually shortcut of the exe file is shared over LAN, so databases remain on one computer where the application has been installed. Everything works great except one thing. The logo of this application is saved in a database, that reports can pick to load picture. The logo file is chosen by the user, using OpenFileDialog and then saved in database. It is saved like D: Picturesfilename. jpg When I run the application from network (using shortcut that we have made to the main exe file), it given error on D:Picturesfilename.jpg because this doe not exits in the system that is running the shortcut. How to save the logo path in a way that it always finds it in application directory, when run over the network.

Create File Or Directory On Network Path?

Feb 21, 2011

I have a VB 6.0 code that creates file/directory on given path. If the path is local or a mapped drive then it's working fine but if I am having a network path like \netpathputfileshere" then it is not working. If I mapped "\netpathputfileshere" to some x: drive on local then it will work fine BUT I need not mapped this path. So is there any way to do this directly on network path. I get error for ChDrive "\netpathpullfileshere"

Using Directory.Exists On Network Sharing UNC Path

Aug 19, 2009

I'm building an application which require to use Directory.Exists on a network share UNC path. I know how to use that function, and how to implement it in my code, it's working perfecty locally.

Here my setup:
- VS2003
- .NET 1.1
- It's an Outlook Add-In

Here the code :
Dim realpath as string = "\myserverfolder$subfolder"
Impersonation.ImpersonateUser("admin", "DOMAIN", "adminpass")
Dim isDirExist As Boolean = Directory.Exists(realpath)
If isDirExist = False Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(realpath)
End If
Impersonation.undoImpersonation()

If I build this code, and register it in Outlook with my personnal account (admin), it's working fine, I receive true. If I build this same code, an register it in the Outlook of a normal employee (user only), it's always returning FALSE, no matter if the directory exist or not. The share is set to everyone allow, and I tried giving everyone access to the ACL, and it's the same result.

vb.net
For Each drv In IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives()
If drv.DriveType = IO.DriveType.Network Then
MessageBox.Show(drv.RootDirectory.ToString)

Interface And Graphics :: Drawing Dotted Path Lines, With Even Dots Along The Path Line?

Apr 13, 2012

Problem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.

I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.

The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.

In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.

2003 - Program Running Under Alternate Credentials - Option To Open A UNC Path To A Network Share

Sep 8, 2010

I have a program written in VB.net 2003 that are folks run under alternate credentials. Inside the app there is an option to open a UNC path to a network share. We were running Windows XP SP3 and IE6. The code is simple just a call to the explorer.exe with /root,\UNCPath. After installing IE 8 onto the machine this no longer works. Best I can tell the code is still working but now being executed in non interactive mode so nothing opens up. You can however see a new spawned explorer.exe running under the system account for each attempt at opening a UNC Path. Any ideas what IE8 could have done to cause this behavior?
