• Visual Studio Express Editions Automatically enter Text from one Text box to another as you type.

  I would like to setup a Text Box that pulls the Textbox.text from 2 separte text boxes and then displays them in this textbox. For Example... TextBox1.Text = "Jimmy" TextBox2.Text = "Taylor" TextBox3.Text = "Jimmy Taylor" But the kicker is I want it to add the "J" in TextBox3 as I type it in TextBox1 ect. I tried a number of places but I am not sure how to describe this and I am not coming up with very good examples. Thanks in advance for any help. Form1 is not the form where the create button is. that form is called CreationProfile... Either way I believe that I see where you are going.

• .NET Development How to create a file watcher window service to look in a folder for new file??

  Goal of the filewatcher window service: to look in a folder named ‘Watcher’ for a particular type of file. Whenever a new file arrives in the watcher folder, service should pick up the file, read contents, then delete the file from the folder and move it in another folder named ‘Processed’. I am using filewatcher’s oncreated event for this. Whenever a file arrives, the oncreated event is fired. The problem I am facing is that the service is not able to read the file. The exception received is: The process cannot access the file '\\WATCHER\abc_1959537.xml' because it is being used by another process. I tried to manually paste the files in ‘Watcher’ folder as well as in automated manner by a console application the result is same. ...Show All
