View 2 RepliesI have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?

I have a program that uses the Folder Browser Dialog... I am currently using it to GetFiles and list them in a list box... Currently, it searches directories and subdirectories to get files with a specific patter. I would like to either have the files show with their paths, or return a list of the directories to work with later on... Using the Get Directories method I beleive it creates an Array but I am unfamiliar with how to manage the list it returns. I am also having an issue when the user selects cancel the code continues running for the get files method and throws an error.

I have a textbox that is used to add directories to a system folder, each name seperated by a line. If the textbox has text value "Test " that is "Test" & controlchars.newline & "" (not like this is coded, it's typed in), then if i use loop for each part as string in textbox1.text.split(controlchars.newline), the first part will be "Test", the second part will say " " when i run step by step debugger, but if i try and block the addition of a folder by "if part = " "" it does not catch it. I've tried comparing part to "", " ", nothing (which is illogical anyways), and i even tried creating a boolean variable equal to the statment to try and catch it but the program insists that part is not " " even though the debugger tells me that is the value of part.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple program to list a directory and sub directories on an ftp. I haven't found anything simple to do this other than a dll made for ftp commands. There are two problems with that dll, the first is I can't get recursing through directories to work right and it has a trial period. So I'm wondering if there is a simple pure VB way to simply list directories on an ftp. The dll I've played with is ChilkatDotNet2.dll.

View 2 RepliesI am trying to create a list of all virtual directories within an IIS site. However, I have found that trying to do this varies dramatically in the older versions of IIS. In IIS 7 this is a relatively easy task via C# but I can't seem to find a good method for doing this in IIS 6 and 5. I have tried using the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry but that doesn't seem to give me the desired output. I am the server administrator so I'm open to using other things such as .vbs files that are built into IIS as well as writing my own code.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to Add the name of every folder in a directory to a combobox as a string to use in other code. Then I would like to truncate the last 3 characters off of the folder names.Example:
My main directory is C:Main
My sub folders are C:MainsubOne_bp
C:MainsubTwo_bp
C:MainsubThree_bp
I want a combo box with the following added durring run time.
subOne
subTwo
subThree
The following code will get me the folder names in the combo box, BUT it will not truncate the _bp off of the end and they are added as IO.DirectoryInfo that cannot be used as a string in other tasks.
Dim dir As String = "C:Main"
If (System.IO.Directory.Exists(dir)) Then
Dim di_dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(dir)
