Perhaps explicitly opening the files as readonly will help.
<br />
Dim sr As New IO.StreamReader(IO.File.OpenRead(e.FullPath))<br />
message = sr.ReadToEnd()<br />
sr.Close()<br />
I colleague of mine was having problems with trying to read, then upload, image files to a database. In the end, both the uploaded files and even the source files were getting hammered somehow, even though the code looked good. Opening the source files as readonly fixed the issue.

I am trying to find a way to extract and send the contents of TEXT FILE 1, via email, to a list of email addresses in TEXT FILE 2.
So just to clarify, I would like some code which will rip the contents of Text File 1 and send the contents to everyone in Text File 2.
Any help received will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
To read text from a file, here's some sample code: (can also be found in the VB .Net Help, under "reading text from files")
' Create an instance of StreamReader to read from a file.
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("TestFile.txt")
Dim line As String
' Read and display the lines from the file until the end
' of the file is reached.
Do
line = sr.ReadLine()
Console.WriteLine(Line)
Loop Until line Is Nothing
sr.Close()
To change it to write to a TextBox/RichTextBox all that you need to do is:
' Create an instance of StreamReader to read from a file.
Dim sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader("TestFile.txt")
Dim line As String
' Read and display the lines from the file until the end
' of the file is reached.
Do
line = sr.ReadLine()
Textbox1.text += line
Loop Until line Is Nothing
sr.Close()
For sending an email, look at: sending mail, examples [Visual Basic] under the index section of the help. The System.Web.Mail is most likely what you will be using

I have a table of questions and related to it are a set of choices. My online test that I am creating requires me to pick out the question from a question table and display it on the page.
I am trying to iterate through my DataTable I have created and print out the questions on screen but I get the following error:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
My Code is as follows:
Dim AnswerArray(100) As String
Dim TesterArray(100) As String
Dim WrongArray(100) As String
Dim CorrectArray(100) As Boolean
Dim NumberOfQuestions As Integer
Dim NumberCorrect As Integer
Dim NumberWrong As Integer
Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
if not IsPostBack
GetQuestions()
end if
End Sub
Public Sub GetQuestions()
'Create the SQL Connection
Dim connectionstring As String = "server='(local)'; trusted_connection=true; database='ELearn'"
Dim Oconnection As New SqlConnection (connectionString)
'oConnection.Open()
'Get the questions for the user and fill it into a data adapter
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM dbo_Private_Questions"
'Dim oCommand As New SqlCommand(strSQL, Oconnection)
Dim ds As System.Data.DataSet = New System.Data.DataSet
Dim da As System.Data.IDbDataAdapter = New System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(strSQL, connectionString)
'da.SelectCommand = oCommand
da.Fill(ds)
'Get the choices for the answer of each question and fill it into a data adapter
Dim choices As String
choices = "SELECT * FROM dbo_Choices"
da.Fill(ds)
'Create data tables for questions and choices so they can be iterated
Dim QuestionsTable As DataTable
QuestionsTable = ds.Tables("dbo_Private_Questions")
Dim ChoicesTable As DataTable
QuestionsTable = ds.Tables("dbo_Choices")
'Create a link between choices and questions
'Firstly get the datacolumn objects from the two datatables, create the relation with these
'columns
Dim parentCol As DataColumn
Dim childCol As DataColumn
parentCol = ds.Tables("dbo_Private_Questions").Columns("QuestionID")
childCol = ds.Tables("dbo_Choices").Columns("QuestionID")
Dim questionRelation As DataRelation
questionRelation = New DataRelation("QuestionLink", parentCol, childCol)
QuestionsTable.ChildRelations.Add(questionRelation)
NumberOfQuestions = 0
Dim questionRow As DataRow
for each questionRow in QuestionsTable.Rows
Dim tr1 As new TableRow
Table1.Rows.Add(tr1)
Dim aCell1 As new TableCell
aCell1.Text = questionRow("Question Text").ToString()
tr1.Cells.Add(aCell1)
AnswerArray(NumberOfQuestions) = questionRow("Answer").ToString()
dim count as integer = 0
Dim choiceRow As DataRow
for each choiceRow in questionRow.GetChildRows(questionRelation)
Dim tr2 As new TableRow
Table1.Rows.Add(tr2)
Dim aCell2 As new TableCell
aCell2.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Left
tr2.Cells.Add(aCell2)
Dim cb as new CheckBox
cb.Text = choiceRow("Choice Text").ToString()
cb.ID = "CheckBox" + NumberOfQuestions.ToString() + Convert.ToChar(count + 65)
cb.Visible = true
aCell2.Controls.Add(cb)
next
Next
End Sub
I get the error for the for loop i.e. for each questionRow in QuestionsTable.Rows and also when creating the relation:
parentCol = ds.Tables("dbo_Private_Questions").Columns("QuestionID")
Is there anyone out there who can help sort it.
Thanks

The code doesn't lend itself to easily finding out so. One of the following is returning null:
ds
ds.Tables("dbo_Private_Questions")
ds.Tables("dbo_Private_Questions")Columns("QuestionID")
So, put some watches in (or debugging statements if you prefer) to find out what part of your statement is returning null.

I have the error always occurs when trying to access the DataTable object in a DataSet:
parentCol = ds.Tables("dbo_Private_Questions").Columns("QuestionID")
childCol = ds.Tables("dbo_Choices").Columns("QuestionID")
for each questionRow in QuestionsTable.Rows
....
for each choiceRow in questionRow.GetChildRows(questionRelation)
...
The error occurs on these 4 lines. Creating the data table doesn't bring an error.

NB. I am using web matrix - free tool by microsoft - if that is any help

It's entirely possible that Tables("dbo_Private_Questions") doesn't return a DataTable object. This would mean that there is no table in the DataSet called "dbo_Private_Questions". The same could be true for the Columns collection of that table. Meaning there is no column called "QuestionID" in the Table object. The same could also be true for the DataSet not having a table in it called "dbo_Choices"...
Get the picture yet? Your code is assuming that these table and columns exist in the dataset. You need to write some code in there to check if they actually do exist before you use them.

You want to convert and ASP web app to a Windows Forms app? Start coding by hand. AFAIK , there's no tool that will do this, mainly because the execution models are so radically different.

Hi,
Can someone help me out with this urgent problem I am facing.
I have an Windows service whose components are controlled by a snap-in.
Now I need to create multiple instances of this service and snap-in on the same machine.
I am not able to latch the snap-in the instance I want to though both the instance use different users. The snap-in latches itself to the classed in the service via DCOM.
Excepting a quick reply.
What you cannot visualize you cannot achieve.

Need to syncronize a local folder with a source folder (either from CD or company server by LAN/internet connection as chosen by the user). The idea is that the user's laptop should contain exact same files as the source on CD or server.
I don't yet know how to handle it.
Any ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

1. Overview
What does the article do? It makes a comparison among SourceAnyWhere 3.1, SourceOffSite 4.1 and VSS Remoting 2.5.
Our initiative is to make an unbiased, objective, repeatable and verifiable comparison:
a. Real project is used. The project I use is eMule, which is at http://sourceforge.net/projects/emule/
b. Detailed steps are presented. You can follow the detailed steps easily.
c. If you want to make a comment, I can be reached at bettervssremoting@yahoo.com

Speed:
I am totally surprised and excited by the speed of SourceAnyWhere. For Get, Checkout and other operations, SourceAnyWhere can
be up to 40+ times faster than SourceOffSite and VSS Remoting.
Stability:
SourceAnyWhere never has any problem in the whole test.
VSS Remoting has difficulty to add files.
SourceOffSite has several problems when it comes to stability. It fails often when I try to add big files. The big problem of SourceOffSite is cancel. There is no cancel support in IDE integration. After a cancel operation in Add, Checkin, Checkout or Get in SourceOffSite Explorer, the CPU usage of SourceOffSite server goes up to almost 100% and can not come down, unless the server is restarted.
Security:
What makes SourceAnyWhere unique is the password policy.
All the products use 128-bit cryptography.
SourceOffSite and SourceAnyWhere use BlowFish.
VSS Remoting uses HTTPS.
VSS Feature Support:
Weakness and strengths equally exist in them three.
Usability:
SAW is the best. All the Windows of SAW is in Win32 style. It can detect if a file is changed automatically.
Diff/Merge
In File Diff (2-way)/File Merge (3-way), SourceAnyWhere and SourceOffSite run neck and neck; VSS Remoting has a low
performance
IDE Integration:
SourceAnyWhere, SourceOffSite and VSS Remoting all support MSSCCI Integration.
VSS Remoting supports DreamWeaver integration
I have not tested the IDE integration intensively. I give this rate just according to manual of the three products.
Cross Platform:
SourceOffSite can cross most popular platforms, VSS Remoting has a web interface which can login server through web
3. Test Environment
Test Data
Real project is used for test
All eMule0.44c and eMule0.44d files are downloaded from Sourceforge

Why do you idiots do this?!
This is a programming forum for Visual Basic! Not a drop zone for your advertising! If you really want to tout your wares, TAKE OUT AN AD and support this site. All your doing by dropping your ads in the forums is making yourself look VERY unprofessional and cheap.
I can tell you I'll never visit your sites now.
