Thanks guys..another question..
Can i change the filename while copying the file to the new location? So that it will be renamed when it is copied to the new location?

Hmm..but it doesn't teach us how to rename a file? Sorry but i'm really weak in Vb.Net >.<

Copy the code and run it.

Private Sub MenuItem16_Click(ByVal sender as System.Object,ByVal e as EventArgs)Handles MenuItem16.Click
Dim FileDialog As OpenFileDialog
Dim Test As New Test 'The Test class from MSDN
if FileDialog.ShowDialog() = DialogResults.Ok then
Test.Main()
End If
There's no build error, but after I chose a file from the dialog box, no file was copied to the new location  What's my problem here?
Dim dlg as New OpenFileDialog
if dlg.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Ok then
System.IO.File.Copy(dlg.FileName, "C:\")
EndIf
' Will copy the chosen file to C:\
I tried this as well, but after clicking OK in the dialog box, it gives an error indicating "Directory Exists", so i couldn't copy my chosen file to C:\ as well...why?

Yah, this will create a text file in C:\...but what if the user chooses other types of files? (.exe, .pdf) I tried choosing an .exe file, but it creates a .txt file, using notepad to read the .exe file.
Dim dlg as New OpenFileDialog
if dlg.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Ok then
System.IO.File.Copy(dlg.FileName, "C:\" + dlg.FileName)
EndIf
I tried this, but it gives an error indicating "The given path's format is not supported".

Do you mean you want do copy file dynamically, where the user can choose which file to be copied and where? 
If the file you want to copy is .exe then the destination file must also .exe
so System.IO.File.Copy(dlg.FileName, "C:\a.exe")
Nguyen Dinh Quy wrote:
ystem.IO.File.Copy(dlg.FileName, "C:\" + dlg.FileName)
if dlg.FileName="c:\a.txt" then the destination file you use
"C:\" + dlg.FileName, then it means that you're copying file to "C:\c:\a.txt".

Ahh i guess my first post was horribly phased 
Anyway yah, users can choose from the dialog box which files to be copied, but the location where the files are copied to is fixed. With "Files", i mean any types of files..
e.g. User chooses Example.txt from C:\, and it is copied to D:\.So now there's C:\Example.txt and D:\Example.txt.
The 1st question here is that i don't know how to do it.

The following code will handle copying of any file extension.
<br />
Dim FileDialog As New OpenFileDialog<br />
'FileInfo class has <br />
Dim myFile as System.IO.FileInfo<br />
<br />
With FileDialog<br />
if .ShowDialog() = DialogResults.Ok then<br />
'create FileInfo instance where .Filename is the fullpath of source <br />
'file. For example: C:\Example.txt<br />
myFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(.Filename)<br />
<br />
'FileInfo.Name property indicates the file name<br />
'For example: If the source file is C:\Example.txt than the FileInfo.Name<br />
'property is Example.txt<br />
myFile.CopyTo("D:\" & myFile.Name, false)<br />
<br />
'syntax: FileInfo.CopyTo(destfilename as String, forceoverwrite as Boolean)<br />
<br />
End If<br />
End With
I hope this makes sense

DataGrid has to be bound to a DataSource before you can add and remove a row. Adding and removing of row has to be done in a recordset. Well I used VB6.0 and I used datagrid if I want to display the entire contents of a table. I the it does not require to be linked to a Datasource I use MSFlexGrid instead. I haven't explored it from VB.Net yet.
Hope this helps

hi everyone,
data types of the parameters in the pinvoke function or sub should passed by ByVal if it is a IN parameter and ByRef if it is IN/OUT parameter? just let me know if i'm correct...thanks!

Generally, yes. But what and how it's passed depends entirely on the parameter(s) of the function your calling. There are no hard and fast rules that work for every parameter.

I’m currently using IO.Directory.Delete(folderToDelete) to remove a folder. The problem is that it will not delete a folder that contains other folders and/or files.
Does anybody now how to remove a folder even if it has sub folders and/or files?
Could I use IO.Directory.Move(folderPathToDelete,"") or is that 'bad practice'?
Thank
Brad

Wow! This is the first time you've mentioned that this is what you wanted to do with locking files and folders!
Next time, don't take 4 posts to explain what you really want to do!

Hello
I wanted to know how to register an ActiveX.EXE file (writen in VB6).
as long as regsvr32.exe only registers ActiveX.dll and .OCX files.
I tried running the file, but it didn't help while I had a previously registered activex exe (which the same name) in some other location. when I try to create an object from the activex exe, the object returned from CreateObject is the object from the first activex..
How can I create an object from the second activex exe?
(THE FIRST ACTIVEX.EXE WAS REGISTERED BY VB6 WHILE I COMPILED IT)
Also I'd be glad if you tell me how to unregister the activex exe file?
Thanks in advance.

---------------------------
RegSvr32
---------------------------
Usage: regsvr32 [/u] [/s] [/n] [/i[:cmdline]] dllname
/u - Unregister server
/s - Silent; display no message boxes
/i - Call DllInstall passing it an optional [cmdline]; when used with /u calls dll uninstall
/n - do not call DllRegisterServer; this option must be used with /i
