  • Cannot overwrite file, in use by another application, visual basic 2008?

    I have a picture box, its image is from a file, named icon.jpg

    I have a button that edits the image file to change the image.

    I am however, encountering that the file is in use and that it cannot be overwritten.

    I have tried changing the image in the picture box first but I still get the error

    Here is the code

    there is code elsewhere that specifies if the selected index changes in gamesList(ListBox), and is changed to -1, then it changes the image of the picturebox to defaultPic.jpg.

    The error is on the copy file line

    'add icon to directory

    'change icon in use to avoid error

    'refresh the form

    gamesList.SelectedIndex = -1

    My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(currentGame.icon, "GamesTemp\" & currentGame.title & "\icon.jpg", True)

    'change icon path

    currentGame.icon = "GamesTemp\" & currentGame.title & "\icon.jpg"

    Any way to get around this would be appreciated, thanks

  • Series 7 Gamer Open HDD Slot?

    The Series 7 Gamer from Samsung, the US version with the Ivy Bridge. If anyone owns it can they confirm whether or not it has an additional HDD slot? Or is the 1.5TB HDD a RAID and I can remove one drive.

    I would like to add an SSD if possible.

    thanks

  • Microsoft keyboard macros not working in oblivion?

    I have a Microsoft Sidewinder X6 keyboard.

    This problem occurs with both original CD drivers and updated drivers via the website.

    During the game I cannot adjust the volume via the dial on my keyboard. Or use any of my programmable shortcut keys on my keyboard.

    I have tried using both the regular bank setting and the automatic program setting. Neither have worked for me.

    The auto-repeat button does work however.

    I have also encountered this issue in Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna

    Has anyone else encountered this problem? Better yet, does anybody have any fixes for it?

  • Adobe Design Premium CS5 uninstalls itself after it is installed.?

    Was trying to install it for a friend on her vista machine and it wasn't working. She recently upgraded to Windows 7 so she asked me to give it another go since Windows 7 is more stable. So I tried it and encountered this problem.

    She currently has Photoshop Elements installed, do I have to uninstall that before I install CS5?

    I have tried installing it several times and encounter this problem every single time.

    Any suggestions on how to proceed or how to fix this?

  • VB 2008 Create variable from within the program?

    I would like to be able to create a variable while the program is running.

    For example

    I press a button and it creates a variable named after the contents of textbox1

    if the contents of textbox1 are "july2011"

    the new variable would be "july2011"

    it would accomplish the same thing as typing in the code window

    dim july2011 as string

    My ultimate goal is to have the user be able to add items to a list box, and when a list box item is selected text is output to a label and that text is determined by which item is selected in the list box.

    Deleting the list box entry would also delete the variables, and making a list box entry will create a variable

    i am creating the list box entry with a button, which when clicked opens up a new form and the user types in an entry, and the text from the text box is added to the list box when another button in the new form is clicked.

    I would like the variable name to be the same as the string added to the list box, of course i will remove any spaces as spaces cannot be used in a variable name

  • Make a disc image (.iso .mdk etc) from a USB flash drive?

    I was wondering how, if possible, to make a disc image from a USB flash drive.

    I searched on google and downloaded WinImage, but that didn't help.

    I want the image to be able to be opened by Daemon tools, virtual box, or later burned onto a DVD.

    I do not have any DVDs lying around that i can just burn data to to make an image of that, and there is not enough room on a CD to burn the files from the USB onto.
