[2005] Unexpected Results With FileSystem.GetFiles
Feb 20, 2009
Consider the following snippet:
Dim Arext() = {"*.ttf","*.ttc"}
For Each foundFile In FileSystem.GetFiles(srcdir, SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, arExt)
[code]....
The unexpected result is that not all the files specified in arext() are returned by this code. Running the same code twice on the same subset of files does NOT produce consistent results.I'm seeing, probably, 90% of the files with the other 10% not being included?

It seems like FileSystem.GetFiles() is unable to recover from the UnauthorizedAccessException exception that .Net triggers when trying to access an off-limit directory.In this case, does it mean this class/method isn't useful when scanning a whole drive and I should use some other solution (in which case: Which one?)? Here's some code to show the issue:
Private Sub bgrLongProcess_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles bgrLongProcess.DoWork
Dim drive As DriveInfo[code]...

If I have a folder with a bunch of ".htm" & ".html" files in it and I use
My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.html")it returns all the ".html" files, as expected. But if I useMy.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.htm")it returns ".htm" & ".html" files, when I would expect it to return only the ".htm" files. Is this a bug?

Do you know how to declare a variable that can hold the result of a call to GetFiles?
I don't know how to do this, so I am using the following verbose/duplicative version:
Dim l_v_String_FoundFile As String
If My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("A:u_Au_W", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories,

This has to be simple, but can't find the answer.I want to display a list of all files from a folder in a listbox. Easy..., but I want to display only the filenames without their paths.
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:My Folder")
ListBox1.Items.Add(foundFile)
Next
This gives me list looking like that:
C:My Folderfile1.txt
C:My Folderfile2.txt

I am writing an app in VB2005 that makes a call to my cars ECU. It sends ok but during the DataReceived event I am getting an unusual result.I am trying to find out how many bytes are in the buffer so I can set up an array to write the data to so I have used the following.
intBTR = _Port.BytesToRead
_Port.Read(bytIncoming, 0, intBTR -1)

x = 4.2 - 0.1
vb.net gives 4.1000000000000005
python gives 4.1000000000000005
Excel gives 4.1
Google calc gives 4.1
What is the reason this happens?

Edit: Here is a much more simpler example of this issue (i've deleted my original question):
Dim numbers1 As New List(Of Int32)({1, 2, 3})
Dim numbers2 As New List(Of Int32)({3, 4, 5})
For Each n1 In numbers1
' no warning '
Dim contains = numbers2.Contains(n1)
Next
[Code]...
The local variable number1 is redundant and makes the code less readable as @Meta-Knight already has emphasized. Note: All three ways are safe and give the correct result.

I am wondering if there is a simple method to filter the result returned by Directory.GetFiles(). Basically I am looking to retrive all of the jpg files in a selected folder into an array. My current code works fine if the folder only has jpgs in it which should be the case in operation but I would like to make sure it works correctly when the folder contains other types of files as well. The line I am currently using is..
Code:
files = Directory.GetFiles(IMAGE_DIRECTORY) files is defined as an array earlier in the program and as I mentioned my program works fine when the folder has nothing but jpegs within. The problem is that I am creating a listview with thumbnails from these files and run into some indexing issues when there are non jpgs in the target folder. The easiest solution would seem to be a filter on the getfiles method that would return only files witht he given extension.
Anyone know how to do this or will I need to parse the files out of the array in a second process?

Ok, the basic situation: Due to a few mixed up starts, a project ends up with not one, but three separate databases, each containing a portion of the overall project data. All three databases are the same, it's just that, say 10% of the project was run into the first, then a new DB was made due to a code update and 15% of the project was run into the new one, then another code change required another new database for the rest of the project. Again, the pertinent tables are all exactly the same across all three databases.
Now, assume I wanted to take all three of those databases - bearing in mind that they can't just be compiled into a single databases due to Primary Key issues and so on - and run a single query that would look through all three of them, select a given set of data from each, then compile those three sets into one single result and return it to the reporting page I'm working on.

I have a form that allows users to select file and then it reads the contents, parses the data and then executes a sql insert statement to add it to a database. What I am having issues with is showing real-time results. Currently, I have the import operation take place on the import form within the OnLoad event. The problem with this is it only shows the final results instead of the results real-time. Is there anyway to do this without creating a seperate thread and delegates?

I can't figure out how to use the (because im noob)ystem.io.directory.getfilesIf I try to put it in a textbox for example textbox1.text = system.io.directory.getfiles("my directory") then I just get the error message "Value type of '1-dimensional string of array' cannot be converted to 'string'. First of all I have no idea what the '1-dimensional string of array'thing is.And if I try to put in a msgbox for example sgbox(system.io.directory.getfiles("my directory")) then I can run the program but when I click my button then it says "it can not convert argument prompt to string(google translated)". And second, I don't know what the prompt thing is either

I have multiple .mp3 files that I have added to the resources of my project, and the thing is, that the mediaplayer won't play .mp3 files from the resources, so I need to extract them to the filesystem in order to play them, but I can't find any way to do this. All the things I've tried have given me the error saying that I don't have access to the folders I try to extract to. And yes, I'm on the Admin account of the computer.

If I want to bind the files of a folder to a gridview, I can just do this:
GridView1.DataSource = New DirectoryInfo("C:MyPix").GetFiles
GridView1.DataBind()
...And this asp.net
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
[Code]...
...But if I want to bind it to a repeater in stead, I would think I could display the filename like this:
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate><%#Container.DataItem("Name")%></ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
...But that gets me the error "No default member found for type 'FileInfo'."

How do I (i) sort the array of type FileInfo returned by the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles method by (file) CreationTime in descending order and (ii) once the array is sorted efficiently load it or convert into a Queue object (of type FileInfo) for subsequent processing. I thought of using the queue object as it handles things on a FIFO out basis and I'll be adding to the queue as new files arrive.
