I have a question: (Normally in a new topic)
How can you extract rar-files in VB.NET?
This is a function I made for it
Code: Select all
to use itPrivate Sub Extract(ByVal rarFile as string,ByVal extractdir as string)
Shell(Application.StartupPath + "UnRar.exe" + " x -y " + rarFile + " " + extractdir)
End subCode: Select all
ofcourse you replace C:\File.rar with your rar file location and C:\Directory with the directory where you want to extract itExtract("C:\File.rar", "C:\Directory")works fine for me , tell me if it doesn't for you
oh and you need to place UnRar.exe(from the zip I uploaded) in the directory where your application.exe is(if its in the debug folder, place unrar.exe in the debug folder ;) )
(I put alot of efford in this one)
