I have a directory where xml documents are stored once created every minute.

Is there anyway i can read the newest/latest xml file from the directory?
I have a dbf file. I saved it as a csv file and can open it in excel.
But i cannot open it in VB.net using programming and OLEDB connection.
If i copy all these content, paste it in a new excel sheet and then save it as csv file. My VB.net program reads it absolutely fine.
Any idea what might be wrong in saving the file directly from dbf to csv using excel?
it has been a while since I have asked a question here so I thought now would be a great time to do so. I am creating an application that loops through the file names of a specific directory, in this case, the System32 folder. I want the program to compile a list of the file names and then I want the file names to be displayed on a Timer_Tick event so the name will change on every tick. If anyone could provide a snippet of code to achieve this that would be great. I have been researching and debugging all night with no luck.

I have created a new icon using VB.NET and have saved it to the project directory. I then set the icon property for a form to point to my new icon file. The new icon shows up in the properties window but when the program runs, the title bar displays the default icon that you get when starting a new icon file rather than my new icon.

View 5 RepliesTrying to read data through the virtual COM port created by bluetooth.
The original console program (and the trimmed version below) was designed to read data from serial port COM1 and output the data to notepad. The program works; hook the bar code reader to COM1, activate bar code reader, swipe card, bar code reader beeps, data input collected from COM1 and sent out to notepad.
The problem: Bluetooth is wanted instead of serial cable.
We disconnected the serial cable, we connected a USB bluetooth receiving device onto the XP. XP installed the bluetooth device drivers 'Generic Bluetooth Radio' and 'MS Bluetooth Enumerator'. Bluetooth detected the bar code reader device and created COM5 outgoing SPP slave and created COM6 incoming.
But now; activate bar code reader, swipe card, bar code reader beeps, NO data input collected from COM5.

My program creates a array of numbers as entered by a user and then finally adds them up. The form should be able to display the numbers typed in by the user. I know how to put one of these numbers into separate labels and could display each number that way but I wanted to know if there is a simple way to display the string that is created as a list in perhaps a read only text box or similar?

I need to read the distinguished name of the current user (the one running the program) from Active Directory.I'm warm (I know I should use System. DirectoryServices and DirectorySearcher), but somehow I can't get the code to work properly, nor can I find a working example.Now, after having spent hours searching for examples on the internet, I'm getting quite frustrated with myself, so I turn to you hoping someone can provide an example.Why I need this: when people run this program, it needs to detect which OU they belong to. We have several sites (for example Rotterdam and Amsterdam) and depending on what site the user's OU is, I need to perform some actions. So I hope to derive f.e. "OU=Rotterdam" from their DN.

I'm going through All-In-One Code Framework Coding Standards document and one of the recommendations is to add a file header comment at the start of every human-created code file. This is the first time I've seen such a recommendation and to me it's just an unnecessary and ugly clutter but I'm wondering if someone could explain why M$ recommends this?
