Thanks for the reply! Can I open the zip file and access the files in it without having to extract them to disk?

I've developed a VB.net windows forms application that writes and reads data to/from 3 xml files. Those files--not the application--need to be portable; users need to be able to put them on a USB drive, for example, and take them to another location (web app is not possible in this case). To...

I'd like to populate a combobox in vb.net with all the color names in SystemColors. Anyone know how to do that? Thanks (getting frustrated with Google searches turning up nothing...)

The installer is built in to VS 2010. I resolved this by passing [TARGETDIR] to the custom action in the Setup project (primary output of the 3rd project as mentioned above). I then looked at the Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() to access the passed value in the exe. Thanks all for your help.

I have a solution with 3 projects: 1) a vb.net windows forms app (main app), 2) a setup project to install that app, and 3) another vb.net win forms app that is built into an exe that runs at the end of the setup program (I'll call this the post-setup exe). The post-setup exe will get the...

I have a panel in a tabpage. It contains child controls; there are labels, textboxes, checkboxes, radiobuttons, comboboxes and buttons. Every once in a while when I run the app and access that tabpage, all the controls in that panel have shifted down by the same amount so that there's a large...

Let me rephrase the question and hopefully simplify it: When I'm developing my app, I have a folder in the application folder. How do I get that folder, and all its contents, to appear in the USER's application folder after performing a setup developed by the setup project capability in VS2010...

I haven't "done" anything because I don't know what to do. I am looking for guidance. I'm using the Setup project creation capability in Visual Studio (2010). As I mentioned, I want to include my own wav files during installation, so I want the setup to deliver a folder with those wav files...

My vb.net windows forms application plays wav files. I want to allow the user to "import" their own wav files in addition to the ones I provide already in the app. Right now, the wav files are stored in My.Resources and played from there, so ideally, I'd add their wav files to My.Resources, but...

I've added a number of wav files as resources in my vb.net forms application project. I can play them, no problem, but I'd like to populate a dropdown with their names. How can I retrieve the names (string values) of the resource files but only the wav ones? Thanks

I have created a vb.net forms application that uses an xml file to store user data (not settings data--data they add, modify and delete using a datagridview in the application). Now, I've made changes to the application, including to the structure of that xml file. I'd like to push out an update...

I have a DataGridView bound to a DataTable. When the user changes a value in a cell, I'd like to change the background color of that cell. If the user changes the value back to the original, saved value, I'd like to change the color back to the original. I tried to implement this will a nested...

How do I get a listing of UNC addresses for available network folders? I'm trying to create an auto-complete capability for a Folder field in which the user starts typing a UNC address. For that, I need to have a complete list of available UNC addresses. I'm using VB.Net in VS 2008. My...
