UPDATE:
Hello sorry for the late intro but I am also a developer working with tman0 on our EasyBukkit project. We are currently in progress of the server runner and wrapper and should we available shortly. In the meantime here are a few screenshots of the Beta 1 Release.

And yes, we made this to be very simple and easy to use for basically everyone who want a CraftBukkit server

We hope you can give our EasyBukkit project a shot, and if you run in to any problems or have some feedback, please feel free to give us comments, suggestions, and bug reports.

Thanks!

 

May I take a peek at the source? I really need to put your progress bar code into use for downloads with my tool. Thank you so much.

 

Well, what we had used for the downloader is the

Code:

WebClient.DownloadFileAsync

which basically allows you to have it download a file while not stopping your program and also updating the progress bar. At the time we both had decided to program this in C#, so we had used this code found here:

C# Code (open) C# Code (close)

private void btnDownload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WebClient webClient = new WebClient();
webClient.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(Completed);
webClient.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(ProgressChanged);
webClient.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://mysite.com/myfile.txt"), @"c:\myfile.txt");
}

private void ProgressChanged(object sender, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
progressBar.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
}

private void Completed(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Download completed!");
}

But luckily Microsoft also has their own documentation for both of C# and VB.net.
Here is the VB.net code found other here which also had some other languages. It is basically the same but you need to make sure to link the event handlers to a subroutine like show in the C# code.

VB.Net Code (open) VB.Net Code (close)

' Sample call : DownLoadFileInBackground2 ("http:' www.contoso.com/logs/January.txt")
Public Shared Sub DownLoadFileInBackground2(ByVal address As String)

Dim client As WebClient = New WebClient()

' Specify that the DownloadFileCallback method gets called
' when the download completes.
AddHandler client.DownloadFileCompleted, AddressOf DownloadFileCallback2
' Specify a progress notification handler.
AddHandler client.DownloadProgressChanged, AddressOf DownloadProgressCallback
Dim uri as Uri = New Uri(address)
client.DownloadFileAsync(uri, "serverdata.txt")
End Sub

Hope this helps you with you project!

 

Oh thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I will probably be using the VB code for my project.

YES! I got it to work and this is what I have been looking for my whole programming life! You saved me!

This is the code I did after snooping around the link you posted and the code:

Code:

Imports System.Net

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        If SaveFileDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            Dim link As New Uri(TextBox1.Text)
            DownloadFileAsync(link, SaveFileDialog1.FileName)
        End If
    End Sub

    Public Sub DownloadFileAsync(address As Uri, fileName As String)
        Dim client As New WebClient()
        AddHandler client.DownloadProgressChanged, AddressOf OnDownloadProgressChanged
        client.DownloadFileAsync(address, fileName)
    End Sub

    Protected Overridable Sub OnDownloadProgressChanged(sender As Object, e As DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs)
        ProgressBar1.Value = e.ProgressPercentage
    End Sub
End Class

EDIT by Moderator: merged posts, please use the edit button instead of double posting.

 

Yes, I think it looks fine too me. I am not too much of a VB.net expert mainly because of writing a bunch of C# now
I hope that helped out with your project though.

 

I loved it and it really did work out. You can see it here and I gave you credit in my post.

 

I have to thank you for giving me some credit in your project . I really appreciate it. Though, while I was over at your page I had saw that you also needed some help with downloading the current build number. And I have to tell you that this is pretty easy. Here is the code for getting the number (all in VB this time)

Code:

Dim URL As String = "http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/promotion/latest/Recommended/buildNumber"
'this is for the latest recommended build but you can replace this with the url of which version to get

'latest successful = http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/lastSuccessfulBuild/buildNumber
'or simple go to http://ci.bukkit.org/job/dev-CraftBukkit/ and click on one of the permalinks
'and add "buildNumber" (without the quotes) to the end but make sure to type it in exactly as shown
'because it is case sensitive when entered in the URL

Dim Client As WebClient = New WebClient()

Dim VersionNumber As String = Client.DownloadString(URL) 'VersionNumber now equal the number from the website

Hope this helps you (again)!

PS: BTW Most of this stuff you can find by heading over to MSDN Library from Microsoft which usually has pretty good documentation and examples to help you out with plenty of stuff

 

Oh wow! It was that easy? I didn't know that you could get it from that site like that! Thnx.

Edit: BTW I already use MSDN Libraries just to let you know.

 

Ya it is really just that easy! I hope that I helped you out with some stuff. It is a pleasure helping out in community!

 

Well, I do thank ya very much! I enjoy helping other people also. Very joyous!

 

Well you are quite welcome! If you ever run in to any other problems, I would be glad to try to help you with them.

 

Well this sucks. We really need to get a more prominent place for the Bukkit Tools forum. It if it was in the same place as the Plugins forum, we'd have 100 replies by now. Also, enjoy the wiki for our latest project

 

Someone was telling me a while back that you could get more posts in the Bukkit Help thread and that for some reasons, installers and such like this would just do better in the help section for some reason.

 

Posted. Thanks for the advice!

 

You are mighty welcome!

 

Hey @tman0 one of your spoilers is messed up in your first post. It looks like you duplicated it.

 

Yeah. The WYSIWYG editor completely messed up my post. There's actually no such BBCode which is weird...

 

That's funny.
