Hello dear friends,
I've one problem,
How can I determine if a particular file is open or close without opening
the file?
Say for example on my desktop I've one file named a.txt.
I want a function in which I pass the path of the file(..//a.txt) as
argument.
This function should return me true if file is open right now.
And the function should return false if the file is not open.
Thanks in advance.

The problem with that theory is you can't tell. Applications like Notepad only open the file long enough to read it into it's memory, then close the file. So, if the file really open?? Or does Notepad just have a copy of the contents of the file??
In either case, there is no function you can pass a filename to to find out if it's open. The only way to tell if the file is really open, and not just a copy like Notepad "opened" the file, would be to open every process in the system, enumerate its handles, then see if one of those handles is pointing the filename you want. There is no .NET way to do this. It would have to be done entirely in Win32 API function calls.
There is no way to tell if something loaded the file and closed it.

Thanks very much for the reply Dave,
Actually my application will works as shown below.
1)User download any file in some folder.
2)I'll use the ShellExecute API to open the file because that file might be of any type like .txt, .doc, .pdf etc I don't know which application to run for opening the currently downloaded file.
To use the solution in .NET I've to use System.Diagnostic class but I ve
2 more question if possible.I want to check this thing in VB.NET first.
1)
For all the Processes that are in the system how can enumerate the
handles that belogs to particualr process and How can we determine if the handle is of file and if the handle is of file how can we find the path of that file?
2)
How can I find out the handle of the file that are opened by my application? Because I think I've to compare these handles with all the currently opened handle in the system.

If this application is not run by an admin-level account, this won't work. Also, depending on the app doing the download, the file won't appear in the target folder until it's completely downloaded, THEN it's copied to the destination folder.

Hi friends..
I need to bind a checkbox to the first column of my datagrid..I use the following code to do so...I bind the datagrid through a dataset named "ldst" .The code is below
ldst = lobjclass1.TIC_GET_tTic_MM_ServiceType(0)
now i am getting the dataset with values in it..After this i am using the following code to bind checkbox within the datagrid(datagrid1)..
Dim tableStyle As New DataGridTableStyle
tableStyle.MappingName = "ldst"
Dim discontinuedCol As New DataGridBoolColumn
discontinuedCol.MappingName = "Discontinued"
discontinuedCol.HeaderText = ""
discontinuedCol.Width = 30
'turn off tristate
discontinuedCol.AllowNull = False
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(discontinuedCol)
'Step 2: AgentID
Dim column As New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "AgentID"
column.HeaderText = "AgentID"
column.Width = 30
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 2: Bank Name
column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "Bank Name"
column.HeaderText = "Bank Name"
column.Width = 140
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 2: Branch Name
column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "Branch Name"
column.HeaderText = "Branch Name"
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 2: City
column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "City"
column.HeaderText = "City"
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 2: Cheque / DD Date
column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "Cheque / DD Date"
column.HeaderText = "Cheque / DD Date"
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 2: Cheque / DD No
column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "Cheque / DD No"
column.HeaderText = "Cheque / DD No"
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 2: Pay Type
column = New DataGridTextBoxColumn
column.MappingName = "Pay Type"
column.HeaderText = "Pay Type"
tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(column)
'Step 3: Add the tablestyle to the datagrid
Me.DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(tableStyle)
Now where should i Pass the dataset return ("ldst.tables(0)") in the above code..?
Someone help in this regard...
Thanks...

Does your ldst.tables(0) has a boolean column inside it?
You set the datagrid's DataSource = ldst.tables(0).
|
|
|
|

No..
I dont have any boolean column inside it..Moreover in the below code
the table name has to be given in this tablestyle.MappingName.But since i have got the dataset being filled by a stored procedure..i couldn't do that..So what i should i specify in this tablestyle.MappingName..At present i have just given the dataset name in it i.e ldst which is not working..
tableStyle.MappingName = "ldst"
Moreover if i use datagrid1.datasource= ldst.tables(0)..I get the values but without the checkbox column which is of no need..
Kindly reply...

Try to see whether you can add the bool column in the dataset.table after you got it from the SP.
Be careful if you're going to save the dataset back to DB though, but since you got the dataset from a stored procedure I guess it's safe.

Dear Darkelv..
I am just displaying a checkbox in that datagrid's first column..I am not going to affect that table by any means with that checkbox..Ideally the checkbox itself is not shown..Then how could i think of making some changes in that table by means of that checkbox..?
Reply in this regard...
Thanks & Regards,
Balaguru

Well what I mean was just be careful that if you going to save the dataset back to DB, the extra column will probably cause problem. As you are not going to save the dataset back to DB, I think it should be fine.

Ok then..Wats the solution to bring that checkbox into that datagrid..?

Well, since I do not know your system environment and what do you intend to do with the grid.
1. Have the column be added in the DataTable, by adding directly to Columns after you have gotten the result (I am not sure if you are able to add, kinda rusty with dataset).
2. Have the column be added in the DataTable, by using a Function to call the SP, then do a "Select [new bool column], * from Function(params)". I think you should be able to do that.
3. Transfer the data from DataTable to a collection of struct/class that has the additional bool property, and bind to the collection. May not fit your system design.
4. Beg the db owner?

AS you didn't tell us the error, I have to guess and assume it's because you have a " in your string, and need to use \" instead.

VB doesn't understand C-style escapes. Additionally, you escaped the string delimiters, not the quotes inside the string. Double quotes must be paired up to be escaped in VB, so your statement would look like:
str = Replace(str, "<a href="">
<div class="ForumSig"> <small>
<a href="http:
<br>

</br>
</div></a>

Try using double quoutes like so:
str = Replace(str,"<a href=""/", "<a href=""http://www.mysite.com/")
Notice href=""/ as the critical part in your problem. It would appear that you are not escaping the double qoute.
I hope this helps...

you want to change the data in your data table, but not the DB ? Grab the data source, add some rows, then bind to it again.

Hi,
How to Zip And Unzip a file using vb6.0. To Achieve this what are the necessary DLL's needs to add.Any Samples..Thanks in Advance..

There is no such direct way of zipping or unzipping files directly in Visual Basic 6. You have two options –
1) Study file format of zip files and create your own class for zipping and unzipping file.
2) Get some freely available DLL files (such as of InfoZip) and use them. For this purpose if you search on Google for ‘zip+vb6’, you will get enough links.
