Write A Batch File To Run A DOS Program Under A GUI?
Jan 20, 2010
I am tring to write a batch file to run a DOS program under a GUI as below
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText(c:convert3.bat", "aften c:movie.WAV c:movie.AC3", False)
When the batch file runs
C:>convert3.bat
C:>aften c:movie.WAV c:movie.AC3
'aften' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Why the extra data tacked onto the front of the bat file..The below code works but is more lines...
Dim fs As New FileStream(MyFolder & "convert2.bat", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write)
Dim s As New StreamWriter(fs)
s.WriteLine(batstring)
s.Close()

Not sure if there is a better way to do this but this isn't working. Just trying to run a batch command "query session" and put it into a text file using "> sessions.txt". When I run this command in a command prompt it works fine and spits the output to the text. I've tried just making the batch file in the same folder and executing that with Process.Start, still empty text file. Tried modifying the loop and no go also
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Dim counter As Integer = 0

I've been working on a program that generates a batch file, then when you press a button, it executes that batch file. There are multiple batch files attached to each item in the list box.
[code]...
The only thing that it does when I press the button, is starts the batch file, then goes to function searchtitle, which executes the batch file again when it finds out it didn't work properly.The button text doesn't change, none of the items are being added to my first list box, and I can't do anything to the window after pressing the button. It constantly opens the batch file every 5 seconds or so.

I am new to VB and Visual Studio. Using VB 2010 express edition. I am making a VB project and from from inside that i want to be able to run a batch file that i already have.
My problem is i am not able to import this in my project. I tried adding it in the project from solution explorer but when i run the program its not able to find it. I am able to execute it when i copy that batch file somewhere on disk and then giving absolute path but not by including it inside my project.

Reading a .txt file in VB.net. My file path is C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt.
This is my line of Dim LoanOptionsFile As String = "C:UsersMyLilMulePepeDocumentsVisual Studio 2008Projectscurtain_calls.txt"
I can read the file when I run the program, but how do I write the file path so that someone else can download my program and file and read the file on their system?

My program has to write to several files according the users settings, options, and other purposes. But when i tested this, it gave me an error, access is denied. I do not want the user to make it run as an admin nor do i want to find another way to do this, because the only other way is the temp dir and when user deleted files from there it could mess it all up.

I've been banging my head for a while now and just can't seem to figure out what the problem is here. I have not really worked with XML much and thought it would be good to do some work with it in order to have a better understanding. I decided to write a little program to allow editing a game file. I found some examples on the net of basic XML functions and tried to use one of them in my program.
The Xml file I am working with is huge so I will show just enough to give an idea of the format.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Proto version ='2'>
<Unit id ='0' name ='InvisibleProjectile'>
<DBID>20</DBID>
[Code]...
I have tried different text in the select nodes portion, such as "proto" "/proto" and the above but in every case I get a count of 0 on the node list and nothing is displayed in my textbox.Each <Unit> is roughy 30-35 lines and the file has over 59k lines of units so clearly the count should be rather high but always 0.

I'm trying to write a vb.net program that will upload a file to a FTP site that has SSL (explicit, although I'm not sure what this means).The sample code and explanations I've Googled always assume when it's SSL that I'm using a client certificate. But I have no certificate to load.I simply need to login, accept their certificate and upload my file.When I accept their certificate am I actually installing it on the client? For example of FileZilla a box pops up and I just click on accept, then my login is complete.

this would be my first post and usually I can figure these problems out, but I am stumped so badly right now, I am writing code to write into a .mdb file, my program uses two login forms, the first reads the data base, and sees if the user name and password is correct. I got that working, my second login form is used for creating an account. This is where I am getting stuck, I have followed and looked for tutorials and I found nothing, my DB is simple, its one table, and two input fields called "Userid" and "password" this is my code to write a new account into these fields

I tried with four labels with label1, label2, label3, label4 names but I don't know how to create a loop to read every line of the file and write it in every different label. First line in first label, second line in second label etc.[code]...

I am trying to write a simple application that monitors the COM port and writes the incoming binary data to a file. So, I gathered a File class is provided, but looking at its methods list in the Help page, I see no method for writing individual bytes (and the Write methods seem to close the file after writing).
How can I write a byte array into a file, keep it open and repeat this as necessary?

What I'm trying to do is write a small program that copies a file from a USB to another directory so a program already installed on the computer can load this data.Usually copying files from one directory into another wouldn't be an issue.
[Code]...
If possible i would also like to change the code i have written so it just loads January2009.txt from the "root directory" of the USB rather than having to specify H: because if i put the USB in someone elses computer this could change to G: and then it wouldn't work.

What my program does is load a file (password list), then progressively reads each line of text in the file whilst writing each line to a new file. After X amount of lines have been written, it should start writing the lines of text to a new document until the initial password list has been split into X amount of password lists. The problem I have is that after hours of tweaking, all I can get it to do is write either blank ocuments, or write all of the lines to only one file. I really need it to be able to split into multiple files, preferably at runtime rather than loading a whole text document into the program in a textbox or array then writing it to new files.Below is the source:

Imports System.Windows.Forms

Is there any method to do batch update winForm in VB 2010
Using Microsoft Access2007 as database, VB 2010 WinForm (DataGridview + Textbox)
There are a lot of record need to be Updated, It is very efficient if that data is just going through Batch Update, meaning just one click will update all the data rather than click one by one.
Any Demo or code showing how to do this Batch Update (VB.net).

I'm wanting to write a program where a user can copy text from a pdf file, paste it into my program and it can identify which file the text came from and where in the file the text was copied from. This is so that later on, the user can then select the pasted text, and the program can load up the source pdf and highlight the text section.Are there any components out there which I can use to accomplish this
