Storing properties in VB.NET?

I have an application that I'm developing in VB.NET. One function it has is to process input files from one directory and produce output files to another directory. I want the locations of these directories to be put into a flat file and read when the application begins. This will give administrators the ability to change the directory path without having to recompile the application. I have done this in Java using a .properties file. How is it done in VB.NET?Storing properties in VB.NET?
Here is a code sample from Microsoft

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/



It basically scan's folders and files....all you'll need to do as add the part where you said to produce output files into a flat file....should be fairly straightforward.Storing properties in VB.NET?
Try this code. Use getDirs to open the file and get the input and output directories. The structure ';dirs'; is just a structure to store the input and output directories.



'Start code'



Const propFile = ';C:\PropFile.txt'; 'This is where the property file is stored



Structure dirs

Dim inputDir As String

Dim outputDir As String

End Structure



Function getDirs() As dirs

Dim content As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText(propF?br>


Dim data() As String



data = Split(content, ';,';)



Dim retVal As dirs



retVal.inputDir = data(0)

retVal.outputDir = data(1)



Return retVal

End Function





'End code'





In PropFile.txt, place the input and output directories on the same line, seperated by a comma. (input first, then output) like this:



C:\Input.txt,C:\Output.txt



So the admins only have to edit this file. Just remember to keep the comma.



To retrieve this info in the program, call the getDirs function, with the path to the properties file as its argument, and store the result in a variable of type ';dirs';. Then, use the inputDir and outputDir property of the variable to get the respective values. Like this:



Dim MyDirectories As dirs

MyDirectories = getDirs(';C:\PropFile.txt';)



Dim InputDirectory as String = MyDirectories.inputDir 'Holds inputDir

Dim OutputDirectory as string = MyDirectories.outputDir 'Holds outputDir





Hope this helps!

I need help with Oracle 10g for Windows. Anyone know how to open a terminal window?

Also, how do I change the working directory?I need help with Oracle 10g for Windows. Anyone know how to open a terminal window?
A ';terminal window'; is a command prompt. On Windows, you can access this by going Start -%26gt; Run and entering ';cmd';. On UNIX systems, you have to start a terminal through whatever GUI they have (on Red Hat Linux, for example, you can get a terminal through Applications -%26gt; System Tools -%26gt; Terminal).



You change the working directory of a given terminal by issuing the cd - ';change directory'; - command. For example, if you were on the C:\ drive and you wanted to go to C:\Oracle , you would type:

cd Oracle



If you wanted to go up a directory, you would type:

cd ..

because .. means ';the directory above this';



You can also use a full path, so if you wanted to go from C:\Oracle to C:\WINDOWS\system32, you could use either of these:

cd ..\WINDOWS\system32

cd C:\WINDOWS\system32



On Windows, you can get more help on the cd (and other commands) with ';help cd'; and ';help';. On UNIX, you would use ';man cd'; and ';man sh';, because 'man' stands for 'manual'.

Loading Mozilla on drive other than 'c' drive.?

I have made 4 partitions on my sata HD. 1st('c' drive) for windows, 2nd for most other soft wares and remaining two for exe files and data. I downloaded mozilla on my desktop. The set up wizard of Mozilla does not give me the option to install it on any other place than 'c' drive. How do I change the directory to say 'E' or 'F' drive?Loading Mozilla on drive other than 'c' drive.?
Select custom install instead of typical or what ever the default is and it will give you the option.Loading Mozilla on drive other than 'c' drive.?
If there is not a custom install, you can't.
keep it in c drive cas it will be best suiteed there as c drive manages all the softwares better any others.

When I try to make a yahoo 360 page it says that my email address is already being used, what do I do?

I have recently tried to create a yahoo 360 page but every time that I do it tells me that my email address is already being used and that I need to go to the member directory and change my email address? What do I do? How do I go about fixing this problem?When I try to make a yahoo 360 page it says that my email address is already being used, what do I do?
I had the same problem and I asked a question about it:-

Some people told me to set up another email address but I haven't tried that so I don't know if it would work. The Best Answer says 360 is closing down and Yahoo are not fixing the glitches so I don't think it's worth bothering with it.

Sounds like you had your homepage hijacked! DON'T DO WHAT IT SAYS TO!! Run virus scan %26amp; clean any virus threats. May also be helpful to do a system restore to last week.I am looking at a webpage and it asks me to change something in the root directory?
Don't do it!!

I've never run across this, would never do it because a webpage asks you to, why would you?
because i like hedgehogs i will tell you a golden rule, never change anything on your system because a site or web page wants you to, if a site wants you to access it then it will be set up ready for you to access it, you should not have to make changes to your system to accomodate the site. If it wants you to make changes then there must be some other motive for this. Why not post the name of this site on here for everyone to see, there will then be more chance to expose them for what i suspect them to be. I am so pleased that you had the foresight to post the question here before making changes. take care and good luck, by the way, we now have 2 families of hedgehogs in the garden, do you know how noisy they are when they fight LOL.

How to get rid of duplicant content in...?

How do you get rid duplicant content on a wordpress blog. For example i want to stop google %26amp; other search engines indexing the /tag/ directory since it douples up posts in google. Also i changed the permalinks structure from /2010/.../ to a imrpoved SEO structure and google still shows the /2010/ links since they redirect to the new structure. So what do i do? Do i write in the robot.txt file to disallow those directories .. /2010/ %26amp; /tags/ or would that make it worse for SEO? and should i have the categories indexed or not? please answer my 2 questions :] would be happy if you did.How to get rid of duplicant content in...?

Can you perform more than one command in DOS?

Can you perform more than one command at once in MS DOS? And if so, how do you do it?



Im trying to make two directories, then change my current directory to one of the newly created ones at the same time, is that possible?



Im trying:



E:\md one two; cd oneCan you perform more than one command in DOS?
You're talking about executing multiple commands on one line like in Unix? Try ';%26amp;%26amp;'; instead of ';;';Can you perform more than one command in DOS?
Yes, simple command structures are '; Format C:\ U'; this means your formatting C drive with no conditons or replace U with S to copy system files when formatting. etc... If you use a start disk you'll see that a ram drive is created to hold the tools needed etc... you cant make the directory (MD) if E dosn't exist also E wont be a dos system partion anyway you need to make it so with Fdisk so with what I'd say is limited knowledge then stay clear. Suggest you download or read up on dos 6 or above 6.22 for instance, perhaps find an old pc to muck about with load the dos and use help funtion and text contained to learn more about dos.
Yes, type ';help'; [Without quotation marks] and you will see a complete list of commands
Can't be done
put the commands in one text file and save the file with the extension as bat



and double click it
You can create an MSDOS batch (.bat) file with the commands you want to execute and then run that batch file from the command prompt or by double clicking in windows explorer.

How to solve intermittent ';Can't connect to MySQL server';?

Hi there,



Recently, I started getting small periods of intermittent connection errors (Error number 2002) about once every hour, lasting for about 1 to 5 minutes each time:

Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket

'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'



- Not using persistent connections

- All PHP scripts close their connection to mysql

- maximum connection limit is about twice that of the peak amount of users online at once.



Also

- server doesn't crash/restart, it keeps running

- errors don't match the number of users online on the website



Made 5 changes thusfar

- changed the directory containing the mysql.sock to protect it

- I changed the default socket file setting in both my.cnf and php.ini

- disabled SELinux completely, rebooted the server and double-checked that it is indeed disabled.

- Changed the maximum amount of open files allowed by the operating system from 1024 to 30000.

- tried using tcp/ip



still getting the errorsHow to solve intermittent ';Can't connect to MySQL server';?
What version of MySQL are you running? You could try to check at the mysql web site if there is any patch available to correct this problem because it seems to be a problem of MySQL itself.

Change name of local profile home directory?

A friend want name of folder in C:Documents and Settings changed. Folder Is named JaneP and wants to change name to JaneG. Signs on to AD network currently as JaneG. How do I change name of this local system folder and still ensure sign-on and access ok? Thanks.Change name of local profile home directory?
You can rename the profile in AD and she will only see the new name on the logon, but the old directory name will remain.

If you really want to do this

The easiest method (there are several)

1. create new profile

2. copy old profile over the top of new profile.

3. set permissions for entire file structure (advanced permissions) for full access by new user.

4. logon to pc and test.

This may have errors on the logon - in which case you will have to go through the registry settings of the server to see what parts of the structure are updating or not.

You can also try to convince her to keep her maiden name.

Is there a way to change my site's description on MSN's directory? What about getting real help on Yahoo?

I've changed the content on my website drastically over the past four years since I acquired it, but it still has the same description on MSN as before even though the description has been changed on Google and Yahoo. I thought MSN's listings used the same descriptions as Yahoo, like MSN was using Yahoo's content for their searches, but I'm not so sure about that now. And I can't find any links on the MSN home page on how to change site descriptions in their directory.





And speaking of my listing on Yahoo, I've been trying for the past two months to get them to change a typo they made when posting the new description they drastically rewrote from what I e-mailed them, and their customer service people seem to be non-existent. I got one e-mail from a real person more than a month ago, but it wasn't much more than a form-letter reply, and now I can't get any response at all. And I'm not happy that they changed the description I wrote AND made a typo that is still there. Any suggestions?Is there a way to change my site's description on MSN's directory? What about getting real help on Yahoo?
Have you changed your HTML description on your site? I am not sure about if you are using 'their' editor, but if you have created a site and are able to use an HTML editor, you need to change your description there.

It would look like:

%26lt;meta name=';keywords'; content=';widgets, gadgets, ....';%26gt;

%26lt;meta name=';description'; content=';Welcome to...';%26gt;

Then resubmit your site to Google, etc. and it should change it when there spider gets it again.

It could take a week or more to have it read your new code, but then it should be there.



Addition to answer:

The problem might be that you have it still wrong in the HTML.

You have it:

%26lt;META content=';Thought-provoking articles on Christian living, links to dozens of online Christian radio stations, free Bible downloads, prayer request message boards, and one man's account of how his life was radically changed by another man, Jesus, ';Da Vinci Code';, da vinci code, ';DaVinci Code';, davinci code'; name=';description';%26gt;

It should be:

%26lt;META name= ';description'; content=';Thought-provoking articles on Christian living, links to dozens of online Christian radio stations, free Bible downloads, prayer request message boards, and one man's account of how his life was radically changed by another man, Jesus, ';Da Vinci Code';, da vinci code, ';DaVinci Code';, davinci code';%26gt;



Another thing...are you paying for this inclusion? You may just have to resubmitted to them. Like start over to get it right. Or Call them directly...Yahoo! Inc.

For Windows IT people: How do I change the Windows Server (IIS) root directory?

I have IIS setup but am currently working off a virtual directory directed at http://localhost/directory



I want to have windows recognize this folder as the root. (http://localhost). How do I change this?



thanks!For Windows IT people: How do I change the Windows Server (IIS) root directory?
i need more info. i didnt get you exatctly

if you mean the Defulte website in IIS so it is http://localhost

you may want to change its directory, right click on the website ---%26gt;home directory tab and change it.

you can change every websites directory with this method.

i hope it helps!

mail me if didnt get you answerFor Windows IT people: How do I change the Windows Server (IIS) root directory?
I believe you want to make a new website not a new virtual directory. As far as i know virtual directories are typically subordinate to the website they are created under so it will require a header to access (thus not the root).

M sick of....Folder Option View Settings?

I have had issues getting Vista to remember folder display settings from Day

1. I had hoped SP1 would fix them, but it didn't. I haven't seen anything

from Microsoft even acknowledging that there is a problem, so I don't have

high hopes that the issues will be fixed by SP2 either. The fixes I have

found on-line work temporarily, but eventually Vista starts ignoring the

customized settings. Over the past couple of days, folder display settings

are being randomly changed by Vista with increasing frequency. As well,

changing the settings in one folder will result in changes in another

completely unrelated folder. This bug is no longer just a minor annoyance.

I am very close to going back to XP because of it, even though I quite like

Vista. On to the description of the problem:



I have Windows Explorer set to open with My Computer expanded. The drives

are supposed to be shown as tiles, and grouped by type. A couple of days

ago Windows Explorer opened with the drives showing as an ungrouped list

instead of as tiles. I customized the view to display as grouped tiles. I

went into My Documents and found my self looking at Picture and Video

thumbnails, even though there isn't a single picture or video in the

directory. The directory is supposed to be set to Documents with details

displayed, and every subfolder is supposed to have the same settings. I

went into Customize Folder control panel, and found that it was still set as

Documents with settings applied to subfolders. I changed it to All Items,

clicked apply, and then reset it to Documents. However, even though I had

specified that this same setting be used for subfolders, numerous subfolders

still display as Pictures and Videos. If I reset them to Documents view,

the settings in the parent directory revert to Pictures and Videos. If I

reset the parent directory, a whole bunch of new subfolders that were fine

before now display as Pictures and Videos. I spent about 20minutes trying

to get the folders to display as I wanted them, but I eventually gave up

because I wasn't able to predict how customizing the view of one folder was

going to affect the view of another folder. I returned to My Computers and

found the drives being displayed as a list. I reset the display to show

tiles again. Returning to My Documents, I found myself staring at

thumbnails with all the customizations I had just made gone. Grr...Arghh!!!



On my D drive, I have a Temp folder in the root directory. I went into it

and found it displaying Music Icons even though there were no music files of

any kind in the directory. I reset it to display Documents with details

listed. I went in to My Music directory, and found that instead of showing

Music Icons, it was showing Documents with details listed. I set it back to

Music Icons. I went back to the Temp directory, and found that it had been

changed to Music Icons as well. Customizing the display type for either

directory changed the settings for the other directory. They are completely

unrelated directories, so I don't have a clue why the settings for one

affects the others.



Any insights as to what is going on, and how to fix it, would be

appreciated.M sick of....Folder Option View Settings?
I am probably not helping here because I don't have vista, but with XP there was a checkbox to ';remember each folder's settings'; perhaps this is what you are running into?

SimCity 4 registry hack: how do i redirect the ';Simcity 4'; Folder?

Thanks GuysSimCity 4 registry hack: how do i redirect the ';Simcity 4'; Folder?
I've just had a look and doesn't appear that you can, sorry. All you can change is where is looks for the program files, and some other things. Of course there may be something I'm missing, but it doesn't seem that you can.

There is also nothing in the program files that allows you to change it either.

I currently have a batch that names each file but now the ';powers that be'; decided to update and change the files on a weekly basis. I need to RUN *.EXE or something like that.How can I run multiple exe files without listing each one with a batch file?
You can do this from the command line:



for %a in (*.exe) do %aHow can I run multiple exe files without listing each one with a batch file?
I would write a script that pipes a directory listing to a text file, then call that file. Name it a .bat file.



I assume you are running this under DOS.



I think it would go something like this:



dir *.exe /b %26gt; runall.bat

call runall.bat



I think that will do what you want.

left click on the drive that you want to change then -%26gt; change drive letters and paths...



do it only when you're know what you're doing! at least you ever enter control panel.

because near there got option format, clean disk etc, don't anyhow clicks.
every time you plug in a drive your computer assigns it a letter. usually it follows an alphabetical pattern(c,d,e,f, ect) so if something is plugged in that is using F then you have to unplug it. sometimes windows like to play tricks and give you some random letter, i forget if theres a way to change it but im sure there is, just google it

How can I change in command prompt directory from C:\ to F:\?

I tried using cd command but when i did ';cd F:\ '; or ';cd F';it doesn't work as it sends me back to C:\



ThxHow can I change in command prompt directory from C:\ to F:\?
cd is 'change directory'... not 'change drive'



Just type



';F:'; and press ENTERHow can I change in command prompt directory from C:\ to F:\?
C:\%26gt; F: %26lt;Enter%26gt;
write ';F:'; and hit %26lt;enter%26gt;



this should take you to drive f:\



Cheers...
jus type in f: (f and colon) then enter
Just type F:\ at your command prompt and hit enter. Then you can use the 'cd' command to open up whatever directories you have on the 'F' drive



The 'cd' command only works for changing directories within the current drive, therefore you can not jump drives using that command.
If you are in dos prompt and the current directory is 'c:', you must put f: only to change to 'f:' directory, like this:



Your command:

c:\%26gt;f:

Dos response:

f:\%26gt;



This Is what you want?

See my site:

If u want to access your F: drive then simply type

f: (enter)



Or if you want to change your default prompt to f: then u need to type:

prompt f:
C:\%26gt; F: %26lt;Enter%26gt;
From memory 'DIR F:' should work. (no quotes)



Writing 'F:' only works for Windows versions which use MS-DOS for a command prompt. Examples include Win95, Win98, Win98SE, possibly ME).



The NT versions have a different command prompt program, which attempts to resolve the potential security issues with MS-DOS. NT versions of windows include NT4, 2000, XP, Vista.

Do you know how to implement an inode-based file system silumation using C++ in Unix?

I am looking for a guide to help me buil my own file system simulation. However, I must build it in a Unix environment. Particularly needed are codes for making a directory, removing a directory, moving a file, changing current directory, printing full path name and displaying the inode.

Change the username and all the documents directories?

How can I change my username without making a new user account in windows vista? I want to change my username from what it came as when I bought it, but I will have to change all the directories and shortcuts and all that too. Is there an easy way of doing this?



ThanksChange the username and all the documents directories?
It destroys the security settings if you do. Better to create a new admin user account and then take ownership of the other files. Copy and paste them to the same places in the new user account. When you have enough to make the new account identical to the old one you simply delete the other one.

I tried to sign up for Yahoo 360 today but it says ';Sorry, this email is already being used.

Someone is already using this email within the Yahoo! 360掳. Please go to the Member Directory and change your email address.';

But i didnt sign up to 360 using this email. Can someone please explain?I tried to sign up for Yahoo360.But it says MY email is already in use CHANGE my email.How is MY email in use?
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/360/pro

This will help you get started. If you had a 360 page before and you may have trouble signing up with the same e-mailI tried to sign up for Yahoo360.But it says MY email is already in use CHANGE my email.How is MY email in use?
You have a 360 space for each Yahoo account. It stays dormant until you activate it. So, if you have ownership of both Yahoo IDs - the one you are using now and the one that they say is being used - then you just need to sign in with the ID that you want to use for 360.



If you didn't create the ';used'; Yahoo account, then it's not your account and you don't need to worry about it. If you did create the ';used'; account, but forgot your password, go to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/id or http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/edit/id .



Just click the teeny tiny ';Sign In'; link at the top left of the http://360.yahoo.com page and then click the teeny tiny Yahoo! 360 Home link at the upper right of the page to get to your space, instead of the big Yellow Button to see what happens. Make sure that no other Yahoo service is activated when you first sign on (even Messenger or Mail).



When you get this figured out regarding your accounts, then you can do as suggested by Maegan.
Try signing into another yahoo service, such as your mail account, and then go to http://360.yahoo.com. Works for me every time.

Usually you can just drag them over or cut and paste. After that, if iTunes asks you can show them the directory (it'll tell you that it can't find it and ask you if you want to do it manually) or you can tell it to look in a different one: Edit %26gt; Preferences %26gt; Advanced then change the iTunes Music Folder location.

How would I search for a file by using command prompt, and then change to that directory automatically?

Say I have a text file named ';hello.txt';. I'm not sure where that file is on my computer however. So I make a batch file that does ';dir /s haha.txt'; and it lists where the file is found. What would I need to add to that batch file to automatically switch to that directory? I don't want to do any of this manually...I want it totally automated by the batch file. This is just a simple example mind you, I just want to be able to have the functionality I'm asking for. And yes, I'm sure there are more simple ways to do this, etc. But I want to know if there is a way to do exactly what I'm asking. Thanks.How would I search for a file by using command prompt, and then change to that directory automatically?
Assuming you have a ';modern'; version of Windows (ie: something with ';cmd.exe'; rather than ';command.com';) you can do something like this:



for /f %%f in ('dir /s/b hello.txt') do set pathname=%%f

set dirname=%pathname:~0,-9%

cd /d %dirname%



Note that if it finds more than one ';hello.txt';, this will go to the directory of the last one found.



The ';for'; loop will execute the ';dir'; command, and set the variable ';pathname'; to hold the full path of the hello.txt file.



The ';set'; line sets ';dirname'; to everything execpt the last 9 characters of ';pathname';. That is, it removes ';hello.txt'; from the end, leaving just the path to the directory. If you change the filename, you need to change the number appropriately.



Finally, ';cd'; sets the current directory.

Why does my windows 7 64x have a Program files and Program files 86x? Its confusing my game patch fixs?

If you cant answer this can you still answer the first question please thankyouWhy does my windows 7 64x have a Program files and Program files 86x? Its confusing my game patch fixs?
The reason for the two program files directories is because some software cannot run as a 64bit program, so there is a separate folder for 32bit programs. As for the patches, I suggest you do some web research, I'm sure you're not the only person with this problem! Look on the Rome website, they may have 64-bit patches available!

Make sure you're the owner of the system before you attempt this.



1. Log in as root

2. cd /etc

3. cat shadow



This will dump out the password hashes in your system.How do I view etc/passwd in Linux (Ubuntu)
While there are various programs to test password strength, (yahoo search) or use johntheripper. It honestly looks like your doing something kinda freaky deaky, and maybe even tweaky. I will tell you this, open is not a valid command. Good Luck!



P.S. The more numbers you have in your password, the stronger your password will be. And as a general rule, don't use dictionary words.

How do you change the Drive Directory of an External Hard Drive?

Since the program's uninstaller is programmed to uninstall the one in the (E:) directory, it shows ';Invalid E: directory';. How could I make it uninstall the one in F:, or can I make the F: directory come back to E:?How do you change the Drive Directory of an External Hard Drive?
Hi There,

You can change the drive letters using Disk Management.



Here is how to do it in XP:

Click ';Start'; click ';Administrative Tools';

Click ';Computer Management';

under ';storage'; click ';Disk Management';



On the right side is a listing of all your drives.



Right click your external drive and in the options box select ';Change Drive Letter and Paths';.



Just be sure you do not change it to another drive that has the same drive letter. You could first change the drive that now has the ';E'; drive letter to something else then you could safely change your external drive back to ';E Drive';.



Before I did all of this I would find out what changed the drive letter in the first place. Likely it was changed when you plugged in a media card reader. If that is true you could remove the card reader, reboot your computer and now the external drive should be in E Drive.



The new printers usually have a card reader built-in and they will reserve about five drive letters.

That happens even when they are empty.



You will have to decide what you would rather do.

Hope this helps,

You could use a program like Ghost to make an image of the boot drive, then restore it to the other drive.



New drives often come with a CD that has a format/setup utility that will give you the option of copying your boot drive to the new drive. These utilities often work with drives you have lying around as well. You may be able to download such a program for free from the website of the company that made the drive you want to copy to.How to change my main hard drive,have two drives on a comp, the main one doesnt have enough space anymore?
This is not an easy thing to do, and you could lose data if you do it wrong.



Generally, you use a disk imaging program such as Symantec (Norton) Ghost or Partition Magic.



The safest thing to do is start with a brand new, large, blank drive, and image your C: to it.



The next choice is to make sure there's nothing you intend to keep on D:, then image C: to it. If there is data you must save, be sure to back it up somewhere else. And if there are programs on D:, make sure you have the means to reinstall them from scratch. The reason this method is risky is that if you forget to back up something, or improperly back it up, you will lose that data.
There isn't a straightforward way to do this, First question to you is do you actually have 2 physical hard disks in your computer? it may only be one and its got 2 partitions. If that is the case you could just extend the C partition and get rid of the D partition. If you have 2 physical disks then it starts getting more complicated, I would suggest the easiest thing is to uninstall all your progs and reinstall them onto D.
