Help with locating datasource of application using Clickone

you want your application to access the files?

isn't it CurrentUserApplicationData? check https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.fileio.specialdirectories_members(VS.80).aspx

Hi,
I need to know the path they are located so I can copy them to anothet folder to use in another application.

I think this is what you want: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.deployment.application.applicationdeployment.datadirectory.aspx

Hi,

Running into some problems using the code, not certain how the last part of the code "Get" plays a role. Can you please send me the approach you would with the code given.

Thanks,

Victor

I would like to use a botton click event to see the path if possible.

Hi,

Where do I add

Public readonly Propery DataDirectorry as String

Get

End Property

I included it in a class module, but when I run the application the path shown can not be found. For example c:\users\usename\AppData\xxxxxxx\xxxx etc.... I don't see the AppData folder.


I tried MessageBox.Show(ApplicationDeployment.DataDirectory) but ApplicationDeployment does not have a DataDirectory propery,instead I have to use msgbox (ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.DataDirectory)

Thanks,

Victor

>>Where do I add

You don't. This is provided by the Framework. You just need to use it.

>>instead I have to use msgbox (ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.DataDirectory

It doesn't give you the value you want? What does it give you?

The path shown takes me to an empty folder, but when  I when follow another folder under the 2.0 folder I see the files. Could it be bcause I am using CurrentDeploy in the code?

One thing for sure, it is not because you are using CurrentDeployment, you need to use it.

I cannot test it because I am sitting home and don't have access to a C-O deployed application.

Thank You.
