Thanks. Is there any way of doing this without the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator?

I'm sure there is an easy answer to this, and it may be "no," but is it possible to create an install file in VB Express 2010 and have that file deploy additional .exe files?

I developed a windows...

great news. thanks!

Thank you all for the suggestions. I was able to get function to work using the advice given here.

One other question though. Right now it is working on the Windows XP platform. Do you foresee...

A while back I started a thread asking about an update to GetShortPath to return the DOS path to a folder (rather than the typical way of writing a path).

I was told to use this function:
...

Mainly because I don't know how many rows are going to need to be created. Depending on the input parameters it could vary between 5 and hundreds.

My intention is to create a new row on the each...

I have what should be a simple problem to fix.

I am trying to insert an initial line (0) into a datagridview (named params). The program will then read each cell in that row, pass them through a...

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. It should have read, "I'm now getting the results..."

Only problem I had was that the row headers were covering up the first column.
Since I'll be adding a...

Thanks for the correction! I'm still rather new at this, but I left out those statements because they didn't appear to have a connection with the numbering. I'll take a closer look at them to...

Unless I am doing something wrong, this seems to be putting the row number into the first column rather than into the row header.

Here is my code:

Public Class CombineMet


Private Sub...

Thanks for the reply. The line number serve no purpose at all except to let the user keep track of how many files they have entered.

The columns aren't going to be sortable anyway. The user...

I am trying to rewrite a program written in an older version of VB. The old program has a input table that looks like the one below.



Questions:
1) How to I get the row headers to reflect the...

Ah, perfect. Thank you! I'm still new at this and had never used a data grid in VB before.

Is there a way to limit the number of rows in the grid to 1? Right now when I enter a value it creates a...

I'm updating a program that was written in an older version of VB (by someone else) and I can't figure out to how replicate this data entry line in my Form.

Each textbox can be changed and there...

Ok, I can't send the entire path and file name to GetShortPathName because the function will shorten the filename too, which I don't want to happen.

Here is what the code looks like now.

As the title suggests, this problem is probably easy to fix for those of you who are great at programming. I'm still a noob at VB, which is why I need to make threads like this and ask for your...

Awesome, thanks! It seems to work well as long as the path length is kept short.

Now if I could just get the shortened path names to play nicely with other strings I would be all set.

Thanks, the GetShortPathName process isn't the problem. That is actually working correctly by returning a shortened path length (ex: insted of "My Documents\folder\test.exe" it's returning...

The function to shorten the path length seems to be working fine, but it won't let me concatonate the returned path with anything else.

Here is what I am trying to do:

Dim ShortFileName =...

Yes, much of the code I posted is for shortening the filename, which I included for context.

The part for opening the console and enter text was from Debug.Write(newpath)

I also had tried...

I'm having trouble opening and running DOS commands through VB Express.

I'm trying to have VB open a command console and enter path to a batch file. So far I have not been able to get VB to open...

Ok, I am using a Forms application, but the Debug.Writeline doesn't seem to be working.

Here is my code so far

Thanks, after some rearranging, it seems to be working pretty well.

On a related note, is there a trick to getting the cmd prompt to open?

I included Imports System.Console and tried the...

I am upgrading some older software that calls and runs some dos programs. In the older version of VB, it uses the function GetShortPath().

It looks to take any folder that has 8 or more...

That did the trick! Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the help! The first part works perfectly and the second is mostly working.

One problem I am having with the opened textbox is that it won't size correctly. It is opening a fairly...

That worked out perfectly. Thank you for the help!

I have two questions that are related.

The first:

The user will be selecting a file to be read into the program. At the top of the form is a button that says "View Hourly Data File". This...

I'm sure this has been addressed in other threads, but I wasn't able to come across any using the search function.

I'm using the OpenFileDialog feature to have the user select a file. However, I...

You guys are brilliant :)

perfect, thank you so much!

I have another question that is related, so I think it would be appropriate for this thread.

On another line in the same text file I have a row of numbers. For...

I'm outputting a number of variables to a text file and each field needs to be in a specific place.

For example:
I have a string that is varying in length, but will never be more than 5...

Thanks for the all the suggestions. I'm going to try to use the List(Of String) approach and see how that works. If it fails, I'll just pass everything over individually.

The reason that I need...

Thanks. I posted my question in that thread, but now that I read the sticky in that forum, I maybe shouldn't have?

I'm still fairly new at VB (using VB .NET for the moment) and I have a question that I didn't see addressed in this thread.

I'm trying to pass a bunch of variables from one form to another. In...

Thanks for all the help. Now onto the next problem of passing a structure from one form to another....

I would like to status this tread as Resolved, but it doesn't seem to be an option for me in...

Good to know. That will be useful for my code since I'll need to assure that the user selects the first file before moving onto the second or subsequent ones

Great! Thanks so much!

It took me a while to figure out what that meant, but I got it to work.

Thanks for the welcome. I think this forum is going to be extremely useful as I try to update...

Hi,

I'm fairly new to VB and I apologize if this question has been covered in another thread.

I'm trying to update an old code that I don't have the source code for. In this code, the user...
