I have a problem where it says that a file is already being used by another process
But I am pretty sure it's not being used anywhere else..
Imports System.IO
Public Class Browse
Private Sub add_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles add.Click
Dim Files As New OpenFileDialog
Dim Folder As New FolderBrowserDialog
Dim Filelist As String = "C:\Program Files\FTP-Sync\Files.txt"
Dim FileP As String = ""
Dim list() As String = IO.File.ReadAllLines(Filelist)
If fileb.Checked Then
Try
If System.IO.File.Exists(Filelist) = True And Files.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
FileP = Files.FileName
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End If
If folderb.Checked Then
Try
If System.IO.File.Exists(Filelist) = True And Folder.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
FileP = Folder.SelectedPath
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End If
pathtxt.Text = FileP
End Sub
Private Sub ok_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles ok.Click
Dim Filelist As String = "C:\Program Files\FTP-Sync\Files.txt"
Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(Filelist)
Dim FileP As String = ""
Try
If pathtxt.Text = "" Then
MsgBox("No folder or file has been choosen")
Else
writer = File.AppendText(Filelist)
writer.WriteLine(pathtxt.Text)
pathtxt.Text = FileP
writer.Close()
Me.Hide()
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
Private Sub cancel_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles cancel.Click
Me.Hide()
End Sub
Private Sub Browse_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
End Sub
End Class
Thanks in advance!
It was because of this:
Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(Filelist)
i changed it to
Dim writer As StreamWriter
and it work like a charm.. dont know if it is the right way.. but it worked.

Im doing a school project. and I was testing a login form for my app. I'm trying separately from my login form and a profile pic form. I have successfully managed to save the image to the access database but I have had quite a few problems trying to display it on a textbox on my form.

the relevant part is at Private Sub BtnBuscar_Click.
I'm trying to search in a textbox for the name that I saved the image with. but I haven't had success all I get is the error of the title.
this is how my database looks like the images are saved as an ole object
This is the error I get
I was following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFdjp39mfhQ
but he didn't quite explain how to use the:
TextBox1.Text = publictable.Rows(0).Item(1)
arrimage = publictable.Rows(0).Item(1)'
don't know if it's the cause of the issue.
instructions. The reason why my code looks different is that I was trying to stuff to see if I could make it work.
I have tried to search for answers and people suggest that I may have put the table name wrong or the column but I copied the name exactly how it is in the table with ctrl + c and ctrl + v.
what I want is that when I type the name in the column name of the database that it brings the designated picture stored as ole object onto my desired picture box on my form app.
Needless to say, I'm not that experienced with vb.net and SQL, Acces. I'm just following tutorials for being able to complete the project.
Do not declare connections or commands or datareaders at the class level. They all need to have their Dispose methods called. Using blocks will have the declare, closing and disposing even if there is an error. Streams also need Using blocks.
Defaults for an OpenFiledialog
Multiselect is False
CheckFileExists is True
CheckPathExists is True
DereferenceLinks is True
ValidateNames is True
FileName is ""
Unless you are getting paid by the line, it is unnecessary to reset these values to their defaults.
I have alerted your Filter to exclude All Files. You also had jpg appearing twice.
I declared a variable to hold the file extension, PictureFormat, of the image file so you could provide the proper parameter for ImageFormat.
When you retrieve the image field from the database it comes as an Object. To get the Byte() a DirectCast should work.

I am attempting to load thousands of URLs into a list, then simultaneously download the webpage source of all of those URLs. I thought I had a clear understanding of how to accomplish this but it seems that the process goes 1 by 1 (which is painstakingly slow).

In a WinForm i have two listview(lvwTemplateCategory) one is listing folders at given directory and if you select folder, other listview(lvwTemplates) shows the files under this directory. I have also one picturebox(picTemplateImage) to show preview screenshot of that file.
While i'm scrolling on that form for 2-3 folders and 9-10 files it's memory usage goes from 62 MB to 120 MB.
I don't know how to manage the memory source also i tried to implement IDisposable but not know where to implement.
P.S. I'm using VS 2017 and calling that WinForm with .Show() method.
Also if you see non-logic codes please let me know.

i have sperated OpenFileDialog into a different button and i processed the retreiving storing of data into the array in the backgroundworker and it works now.
Thanks for the headsup about OpenFileDialog not allowed in backgroundworker it gave me a hint.
