Lets say i have 2 buttons "btnBrowse" and "btnImport", i also have a label "lbPath" and a textbox "txtSubject"
When i click browse, the application allows me to look for a file and import the data to a grid view. So i click btnBrowse, find the excel file, double click it, then click btnImport. 4 things happen when i click "btnImport"
1: lbPath.Text changes to the path of the file i picked "C:\Users\me\Desktop\excel.xlsx"
2: The gridview loads the excel file data
3: txtSubject.Text changes to the path of the file as well "C:\Users\me\Desktop\excel.xlsx"
4: the path name becomes the variable "spath" as a string
I would like 1 and 2 to stay the same but for txtSubject.Text, i would like it to grab the last part of the path so the results would be as follows
1: lbPath.Text = "C:\Users\me\Desktop\excel.xlsx"
2: The gridview loads the excel file data
3: txtSubject.Text = "excel.xlsx"
Any ideas?
Here is a way to do this:
txtSubject.Text = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(lbPath.Text)

need to ask, I have simple app, which had one textbox and one button. When I type something to that textbox and push that button, it saves to my Settings...
see:
Dim Settings As New My.MySettings
Settings.something = TextBox2.Text
Settings.Save()
MessageBox.Show(Settings.something.ToString)
Everything works great, but when I build it and run for example from my desktop path, Enter number save it and close it. When I make a copy of this file to my documents path and open it, nothing loaded, but when I start it from the place where I last save it, it loads properly.
In the short description:
If I run app on my Desktop path and make a save, when I close the app and copy this file (.exe) to another path, I need to load previous saved data from Desktop path, or other different location.
Save in path A, copy it from and open anywhere in path B, C, D... etc.
Is it possible, if yes, how can I do that?
Thanks!
You may be looking for something like the 'SaveSetting" method
SaveSetting("MyApp", "Form1", "Text", "ValueToSave")
The first, second and third parameters indicate a "Path" where your value will be saved, and the fourth is the value itself.
Then, you can load the saved value using the following method:
MyText = GetSetting("MyApp", "Form1", "Text", "DefaultValue")
Note that the first three parameters must be the same as used on the save method, and the fourth is the default value, in case no previous data has been saved.
I'm writing a custom script for Photoshop to handle batch processing of images. I have two input folders and an output folder that I need to specify. Right now I'm using something like this to select my folders:
var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder of images to process");
Because I'm working on a server with a pretty deep folder hierarchy, it can be a real pain to select through the drop-down menu that Photoshop presents to me in this dialog.
It would be so much easier to have a folder selection dialog with an address bar and quick access panel like this:
All other PS scripts that I've been digging around in use the Folder.selectDialog method to set file paths to a variable. Is there a reason for this? If not, then how can I instruct Photoshop the second style of folder navigation dialog?
It doesn't appear that Adobe supports this dialog as a folder selecting option.
There was a similar thread to this posted on the Adobe forums where a workaround was suggested:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1094128
The solution that was suggested is to use a saveDialog function instead of selectFolder. This gives you the folder dialog that we want, but comes with the downside of having to type a dummy name into the filename path. It also says "Save As" on the top of the dialog box, which is confusing.
Here's what was offered:
by lilsmokie on Nov 8, 2012 2:19 PM
var dskTop = Folder.desktop;
var dskPth = String(dskTop);
var newSpot = new File(dskPth+"/poop");
var selectedFolder = newSpot.saveDlg('Select Destination Folder');
var illFilePath = selectedFolder.path;
alert(illFilePath);
This opens the dialog at the desktop. Then put "poop" or whatever you
like in the text field. There the user can navigate to where ever.
When they it save illFilePath will have the folder path. Not perfect
but its close enough for me right now.
I've also discovered that I can set the starting location of the selectDialog by using selectDlg instead:
var outputFolder = Folder(app.activeDocument.path).selectDlg("Select a folder to output images to:");
This gives some control over the starting location so that the user doesn't have to click through a million dropdowns.
At the bottom of your first screenshot you can see the unput text area Folder: This PC. It works just like an address bar. You can type (or paste) something like \\server\work\folder\subfolder into this area and you get this folder ('subfolder' in this case) immediately.
On MacOS this dialog doesn't show the Folder: ... input area. But you can press Cmd-Shift-G and get the native system 'address bar' anytime.
Am working on creating SSIS Package the does the following, so far my SSIS Package works well to insert records from '.DBF' file from one folder location ONLY (Am using Data Flow Task onto the Control Flow and OLE DB Source/Destination to read a .DBF file and get it inserted). However, am not able to figure out how to make it works with 20 sites, for example: I have 20 '.DBF' files stored in the following structure:
1. E:\DBF Files\Site1\Data\records.DBF
2. E:\DBF Files\Site2\Data\records.DBF
3. E:\DBF Files\Site3\Data\records.DBF
4. E:\DBF Files\Site4\Data\records.DBF
and so on till Site20 (here file name remain the same but the content will differ from site to another).
I have table for 'records.dbf' file in my SQL Server in the following structure:
Records Table:
Product_Name Price FilePath FileName
---------------------------------------------------------------
now here, how can process these files from different sites to be stored in my records sql table with it respective FilePath using SSIS??
P.S File Names will always remain the same and the path will change "Like Site 1"
Grab a For Each Loop container for the SSIS Toolbox and drag it on to the Control Flow designer.
Double click the For Each container to bring up the editor, click the Collection tab from the left-hand menu
Leave the Enumerator set at Foreach Item Enumerator and click the Columns button in the lower right.
Click the Add button and just go with the defaults which should be Column 0 and String. Click OK to return to the previous dialog. In the new Column 0 column add your folder paths one per row.
Next click the Variable Mappings tab from the left-hand menu, for the drop-down menu in the Variable column select New Variable. Again go with the defaults except for the name which in my example I have called dbf_path.
Next click OK to complete the For Each. Now the difficult bit for me because I don't what tasks you currently have that are working for one file. Whatever it is you have working, select it with the mouse and then drag and drop it into the For Each container.
For each task or tasks that need to use the file path do the following:
double click it to edit, in the left-hand menu select Expressions, then click Expressions and then click the ellipsis.
From the Property drop-down in the Property Expression Editor you need to find the property that would hold the file path for this task. The names are not always obvious and can be called different things in different tasks. In my example I am using a File System Task which I think is the Source Property.
Click the ellipsis in the Expression column and add an expression that consists of your path variable concatenated a string that contains the name of your file. One thing to note is backslashes have special meanings so if your string contains any they must be escaped with a second backslash.
Now when you run the package the For Each will loop through each path you have defined and store it in your variable which tasks will reference.
Problem : Form is divided in two parts.
Left side for enter information's. Right side for preview those information's.
On top of form there is a button called Send.
When i click on that button it need to take a snapshot of the right side and send it to email address provided as a attachment.
Solution : Take a snapshot of right side of form and save it to Temp folder
- Send a email and attach the file from temp folder
- Delete the file ( for any case )
Is it possible to take a ss and convert it to pdf ? is that a better way ?
I found a very helpfull class on forum Class for Screen Capture
But is there any way to use method without entering position of the screen.
Example : Right side of form is at GroupBox2 .
Is there any way to take a snapshoot of the groupbox2 on form?
Is there any way to take a snapshoot of the groupbox2 on form?
and save it to Temp folder
As suggested by user3697824, use Control.DrawToBitmap() with Path.GetTempFileName:
Dim bmp As New Bitmap(GroupBox2.Width, GroupBox2.Height)
GroupBox2.DrawToBitmap(bmp, New Rectangle(New Point(0, 0), bmp.Size))
Dim FileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName
bmp.Save(FileName) ' save it as a Bitmap
' < or >
bmp.Save(FileName, Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg) ' save it as a Jpeg
' *Either way, the file will have the .TMP file extension!
Debug.Print(FileName)
I Have Button and TextBox. When i click on the button random code generated (working well).
I want each code will be save in the same .txt file. Like this:
my.txt:
RandomCode1
RandomCode2
Random3
I mean when i click on the button the generated code will added to the .txt file (same .txt file for all)
Thank's.
Or (if it's possible)
when i click on the button the program generate random code i need tons like this so maybe i'll click on time and then the program will generate around 100 codes in every single click or the program will not stop until i'll click on another button.
(if it's not easy just help me with the first option.)
If you want to make 100 codes per click you can do a loop like
Dim inc as Integer = 0
Do Until inc = 100
'your code for making code
inc = inc + 1
loop
As for text file saving
Dim outfile As StreamWriter
outfile = File.AppendText("C:\data\codes.txt")
outfile.Write(TextBox1.text)
outfile.Flush()
outfile.Close()
