And if u want any more info just...
dim fileInfo as new io.FileInfo(Path)

FileInfo contains alot of extra info.

Creating a server tool

6-Oct-05 6:02

Curious as to if anybody can point me in the right direction.

I'm wanting to write a application in vb .net that addresses shared folders on windows 2000 server/ and xp machines. I'm wanting to gather currently used files along with the user name of the person that is using this file. it's similar to the server tools "Server Manager" app, but i'm wanting to do other stuff with this information. If anybody could direct me that would be great, maybe Active Directory, WMI, or filesystem functions.

Thanks

Gerry

Search the articles for "Task Manager Extension". There's one project that adds similar functionality to the Task Manager. The problem is that this project is written in C++. So, you'll have to analyze the code and write equivilent code in VB.NET.

There no NO VB/VB.NET examples of doing this anywhere on the 'Net that I have ever found.

I'm wanting to start programming in c++ anyhow, so should be a good start for me to have an actual project. I have googled around the world a couple times and found nothing also.

Thanks for the help

Config File: Read Only

Brad Fackrell6-Oct-05 3:31

I have multiple *.config files that I need to write to but (somehow) they have all been set to ‘read only’. Can anybody tell me how, in my code, I can uncheck the read only option before attempting to write to the file?

Thanks
Brad

You're looking for the FileInfo[^] class and it's GetAttributes and Set Attributes methods.

It's nice that you put this functionality into the app, but there are also cases when the suer WANTS the config files read only. It would be better if you added an option to turn this functionality on/off.

It would also be better if you figured out why your development copy is ReadOnly in the first place.

Thanks Dave.

I like the idea of being able to turn it on and off.

As for why it was read only, I have no idea what happened but I do know that is should NOT be read only and everybody was yelling at me to ‘just do something’. So, for now, I will just force it back to normal.

Asking C# question in Vb.net forum...........Good Idea!

Anyways.....try this

int[] arr={1,2,3,4,5}; <--

it will declare an int array 'arr' having 5 locations......and you can access the values by providing the index

It would have probably been better to post this in the SQL forum [^] Smile | :)

This is a bit of a hack but it should work:

SELECT RIGHT(CONVERT(VARCHAR,GETDATE(),100),7)

The man who smiles when things go wrong has thought of someone he can blame it on.

If you tell a man there are 300 billion stars in the universe, he'll believe you. But if you tell him a bench has just been painted, he'll have to touch it to be sure.

Validation for Dropdown list

BORN...again!5-Oct-05 19:20

BORN...again!

5-Oct-05 19:20

I am using a 'Required Field Validator' for my Dropdown list but it doesn't work , if I do not select any thing from the list it still saves the form and I guess that is necause it assmues the first entry in the list as selected always no matter what the first item is.

I also tried using 'Range Validator' to see that the item selected from the dropdown is between 2 & 10... item no 1 in the dropdown is 'Please Select' , but that is not working as well..

does anyone have an idea as to which validator will work to see that the user HAS selected an entry from the dropdown else the form will not save.

Thank you for your precious time invested in answering this query.

Aartee.

Re: Validation for Dropdown list

use the custom validator -

private void CustomValidator1_ServerValidate(object source, System.Web.UI.WebControls.ServerValidateEventArgs args)
{
if ( !dropdown.SelectedIndex == 0 )
args.IsValid = false;
}

Invoking a Control by its Name string?

Greetings!

I want to switch controls (panels) visibility by using their respective names (in variables). How can I get there from here:

Public prefPanel As Panel = New Panel()
Private Sub uxcPreferencesForm_Load(....) Handles MyBase.Load
    prefPanel = Me.uxcGeneralPnl    ' Startup Panel
    prefPanel.Visible = True
End Sub
Private Sub uxCatagoryTree_AfterSelect(....) Handles uxCatagoryTree.AfterSelect
    prefPanel.Visible = False       ' Hide Current Panel

    Dim path As String = uxCatagoryTree.SelectedNode.FullPath
    Dim arrPath As Array = path.Split("\")

    Dim panl As String = "uxc"      ' Formulate new Panel's name
    For i As Integer = 0 To (arrPath.Length - 2)
       panl += arrPath(i).ToString.Substring(0, 3)
    Next i
    panl += arrPath(arrPath.Length - 1).ToString + "Pnl"

    prefPanel.Name = panl       ' HERE IS WHERE I GET LOST
    prefPanel.Visible = True        ' Show New Current Panel
    uxHeadingLbl.Text = panl  'path
End Sub

The panels are all created (and designed) at compile time - they are invisible. Is there a way to handle this switching?

Thanks,
Karen
