How To Open Text Files Without Permission:
[Working 2013]
How it works:
Your are not allowed to open text files through reflection or startup paths, etc,
you will be given the URI exception, or access is denied.. This works because it calls
file, and :\ as two different strings and brings them together.
Simple yes? :)
How to use:
Create a folder application startup path, and replace this line:
"\Resources\Txt\File1.txt"
With your folder, subfolder, file, etc.
Hope it helps, *sigh* vb isn't a personal choice of mine, just figured id get it out the
way.. came across this, posted, hope it helps as I don't comprehend why it "has" to be
done this way / similar. :eek:
