Wpf - How To Link ComboBoxItem To File
Dec 28, 2011
This question is a follow-up to one I asked and got answered here: How to display XPS document using a selected combobox item
I've created a WPF app using VB 2010. I set the comboboxitems via the XAML. However, I can't seem to figure out how to set the value of each item to a file path.
The objective is for a user to be able to select an item from a drop-down list, then that selection opens an XPS file in the DocumentViewer. The code below was provided to me by COMPETENT_TECH (thanks) to read and display the value of the selected comboboxitem in the DocumentViewer.
The path to the files I want opened is C:folderfile.xps
Private Sub Button4_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button4.Click
Try

I am trying to create a custom comboboxitem, yet I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have done it for a listviewitem
Public Class CustomListViewItem
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem
End Class
but can not seem to get anything similar for the comboboxitem
Public Class ProjectComboBox
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox?
End Class
I have found out that it is similar to a listbox item, but can not seem to inherit anything.

I'm using visual basic 2010 express..I'm building my own web browser and want to add a download manager.I have been able to build one that will download a file if I type the file location into a text box.What I'm trying to figure out is how to have the download manager open when I click on a download link on a web page.How to make the download manager know it is a link to a downloadable file as opposed to something like a link to another webpage?

In my program I've got several comboboxes that all have the same comboboxitems and when the user makes a selection in one of the comboboxes the selected comboboxitem gets disabled in the other comboboxes. (i.e. If the user has selected the comboboxitem with value 'a' in combobox #1 and selected the comboboxitem with value 'b' in combobox #2 then in remaining comboboxes both the comboboxitems with values 'a' and 'b' are disabled)

I'm looking for a way to (easily, by preference ;)) create a download link to a file on a separate file server.The situation is as follows: the application I'm developing (asp.net 2.0 in vb.net but I have a similar issue in c#, either solution works for me) will be run internally for a company.As is good practice, the file storage and web application are on two separate servers.I basically need to be able to create a download link to a file, the only available URL i have to access the file is servernamefolder1folder2folder3file.txt (can be any sort of file)[code]Which doesn't work for obvious reasons. It used to be set up to write that file to the application path itself and that worked perfectly, but it isn't good practice and that's why I'm changing it (or trying to).I read solutions about creating a download page and then having a table in your DB which holds the links and returns the proper web URL for download but the time constraint I am faced with unfortunately doesn't allow me to develop that.
Assuming I can provide a string with the full filepath to the file like the above, what is the easiest way to just create a link that, when clicked, downloads the document? I have 0 admin rights in this environment. That really isn't helping me. Let's assume I am given the correct link like above and have the appropriate file access rights and such.The above example does work in IE, but not in Firefox and Chrome. IE converts it to a file://servername/... link which does what it's supposed to, but FF and Chrome both actively decided that this is unsafe and have disabled it from their browsers.

I am trying to automate file downloads. Sometimes I get to a webpage that has a file link to download a file, but it is not a direct link. Instead it is a PHP request on the server side, for the file.
Is it possible to automate this using the webbrowser control, or is there another way I can do this using VB .NET?

I have a link here that works perfect for calling the postback close that I need to happen:
<a href="javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')"><asp:Label ID="Label5" runat="server" Text="Close Me"></asp:Label></a>
However, I would like to be able to call the *javascript:parent.__doPostBack('Close','')* method from the code-behind file rather than the user clicking the link. I.e., when I have completed my tasks in the application code, call parent.doPostBack as my last function call, which closes the window in question.

I have an Excel Addin with a button that I would like to use to copy a link to the workbook that is currently active. I am able to get the text to copy to the clipboard, however when I paste it in Word or an Email, it pastes as plain text, but I want a link. I've played with different DataFormats, but I don't think I quite grasp how to use that. Below is what I currently have:
Private Sub btnCopyLink_Click(sender As System.Object, e As Microsoft.Office.Tools.Ribbon.RibbonControlEventArgs) Handles btnCopyLink.Click
Dim objBook As Excel.Workbook = Globals.ThisAddIn.Application.ActiveWorkbook

What I need to do is link the EXE to a dll that is in another directory out there somewhere. But I don't want to use the assembly namespace. I want to be able to set the direct path to the DLL. So basically this is how its setup
J:\AppBar.exe 'The executable that will need access to the
C:\testdlls\EnvVarsPro.dll 'The DLL that the executable needs to be able to find.
So far I've come to the conclusion that the answer lays somewhere in the app.config file. This is what I've got for code...
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<!--<probing privatePath="root\res\applib"/>-->
<dependentAssembly>
[code].....
I believe this is setup write. The publicKeyToken is set to null because its not strongly signed and I'm not exactly sure what culture is just yet. But for whatever reason it just doesn't work.You can see a commented line that does work but only if the executable accessing the DLL is in the directory above root. In order to bring organization to my file structure I need to do it with everything kind of put away and not smashed into one directory.

I try to use this:
Dim theFolders() As String = Directory.GetDirectories("\mainmusikabba")
Try
For Each file As String In theFolders
ListBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(file))
Next
Catch
End Try
But what I get is the name on a folder, not the files? And if I can then I want this name to become a link, I don't know if I can this in a listbox?

Below is a link to a small zip file with an existing VB (2005 I think) program. [URL] This programs detects if the OS is Locked. I want to make a small edit, and have found the required code for the edit, but I have been unsuccessful at attempting to implement the code. As I said this program only detects windows locks and unlocks. What I want to do, is set it to run an exe when I lock my computer. Doesn't matter what the exe is, just a very basic program.
I however have not been able to find where I need to insert this code. The zip file contains about 6-8 files, I thought I found the if statement where I needed to drop the code but even when I added it to every if that seemed probably I couldn't get any result. what if statement the code I need to add should go into. honestly all I need, I can handle the code past finding that.

I was able to add a file as-link to an project, as you can see in the image:see the difference in the icon for files added as-link and files added as"normal"but now don't remember how to add a file as link, or if this was because some add-in.I've vs2010 installed in both desktop and laptop, the same of a few coworkers, and I like to have several general file (used as links) in different folders as the project folders.
anyway don't sure of as-link or normal are important in an project.the only difference I've noted is that link files can't be edited when in debug.basically I'm thinking in add as-link the files that are shared/used in several projects, as general modules or classes that have functions or subs intended to be as shared.

I am using ASP.net(2.0) with VB.NET.
I have a User registration form. On that form the user supply all his contact details and he can upload a image with the normal file upload control in ASP.net.
This is my problem. If anything goes wrong on the page then i give the User a error message saying what he left out or what went wrong. But the page refresh when that does happen. NOW the link to the image the user selected is gone. NOW when the user fix his error he thinks that he is uploading a picture but he never did because when the page re loaded it removed the link to his image inside the file upload control.
Note, the user don't have to upload a image, so there will be no error when the field is blank.
