.net - Copy Local Directory Contents To Another Directory
Oct 31, 2011
I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?

It's been ages since I've done any coding (not that this is much excuse for my stupidity!). What I want to do is to be able to loop through a directory and list, for instance, all of the txt files in there.I can get the length of the files with the following:
For Each zFile In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:fileloop", "*.txt", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
MsgBox(zFile.Length)
Next
But I'm stuck on actually returning the file name.

This is the code snippet posted on the site, anyway i tried various diffrent delete contents of a folder methods, but none could skip a file if it was in use or undeletable (but the reason is mostly due to it being in use)
I have a multi user application that stores temporary files in a folder that the users are using, but i want all unused temporary files deleted in it. So how do i go about doing this?

In html it's easy to get a button to get an file on your local hard drive but I can't seem to find or remember how to do it for a VB application (using Visual Basic 2010). What I would like is for the button to find a local directory, select it and then add the address to a textbox.

I can reference the local (generic) data directory for an SQL file as follows:
Dim
T01Database As SqlCeConnection =
New SqlCeConnection("Data
Source=|DataDirectory|Test File.sdf")
I get a "file not found" error when trying the same syntax for referencing an Excel file:
Dim
T01Workbook As Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Workbook
= T01Application.Workbooks.Open("|Data Directory|Test File.xlsx"
)
correct syntax for referencing an Excel file in this manner?

I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.

Referencing this question/code:
How do I copy a folder and all subfolders and files in .NET?
I'm trying to copy a buntch of sub directories to a different directory. I'm wanting to update this code:
Dim fso As System.Object = New System.Object
fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
fso.copyfolder(sour, dest)
[Code].....
Is there a easier way of doing this with less lines of code like the fso As System.Object version? Also, I have System.IO imported however File.Copy and Directory.GetFiles are not colored blue, could this be the issue? I have the System loaded as a reference.

In this question I'm using Visual Studio 2008. My code is quite simple, as it was used from a reference I grabbed off the web. I'm using ASP/VB.Net, IIS6.0 on a Windows Server 2003 box.I've looked at various sources online, and have not been able to piece together a proper result. The purpose of this is to list a slew of directories and their respective files, and allow the user to eventually manage that directory (such as open and delete files).
Here is my ASPX page:
<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="DirectoryList.aspx.vb" Inherits="VCMReports.DirectoryList" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
[code]....
When launching the page, the following error appears: 'V:Users' is not a valid virtual path. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: 'V:Users' is not a valid virtual path.
Things I have tried:
On the server, I have mapped out the drive and the directory.Permissions seem to be properly set, impersonate is correct.If I were to list a directory in the actual directory "C:InetpubDirectory", there is no failure.I do understand this is incomplete for the Directory listing portion, this will only list files (so this will need to be modified.I have attempted to create a Virtual Directory, and the application presented the same error. On my local development machine, I have the same path created - same error. How am I able to view the contents of a shared directory and it's files?
