I'm trying to download files using the Net.WebClient call to DownloadFile
Using client As New Net.WebClient()
[code...]
Is there a polite way I can ask for the file instead of calling DownloadFile, and handling the exception ?
I am trying to write(what I thought would be a simple piece of code. I was wrong.
What I am trying to do is to get an application to check if a file exists, However, I have it wrong as the file obviously does exists, but when I run the application it tells me it does not.
Imports System.IO
Public Class check
Dim checkfile As New FileInfo("C:\HelloWorld")

im trying to make code to check if a file with the same name exists twice in the same dir one with .dds and one with .veh file extentions and if they do put in a listbox but if only one exists then it puts it in another listbox i have made code to filter .dds in to one listbox and .veh in another but i dont know how to make the "check" if they are both there
this is the code i have to split them at the mo
For Each files In dir
Dim path() As String = files.Split("\")
Dim chunk As Integer = path.Length
[Code]....
but i wanted the Else for the .dds files that dont have the matching .veh file
I haven't used System.IO before, and I'm a little stuck.I need to check if a file exists, for example C:Documents and SettingsverraineDesktopSURNAME Firstname v1.docx, if this file exists the filename has to become v2, and so on. Usually there will only be a v1, but in the case that a clients position changes we have to be able to save the new version without overwriting the old one.
How would I be able to do this efficiently? I'm uncertain to say the least. Because, if I manage to find out how to save the file as a different number, that's alright, but if that next number exists as well? I can only think of ways to do this that require a lot of code.
I have been on MSDN about this and searched but it's not quite telling me what I'm after. I've extracted a list of file names from an Excel spreadsheet and want to check whether they all exist in a directory which a user can select in a text box. It feels like I'm nearly there with it but currently my listbox is displaying everything, I want it to just show the files that are missing. I'm a beginner so I'm not exactly sure if I'm even telling it to compare the two things properly, I've tried a couple of ways of checking if a file exists but neither seem to work.[code]

I think this is a really simple question to answer but I can't find a better solution. Basically I am importing data from an external source and as I go through importing each for I am doing a for loop to see if the row already exists; this is taking a life time and I feel it is a very simple way of doing it. Is there a better way to see if a row already exists using specific columns and key indexes?
View 5 RepliesI'm using ADO.Net to work with an Excel Document. Essentially, I'm looking up values in a table called "source" and creating a new table called "result" which will be populated with the results of my query.
I have a couple of questions.A) How can I check if a table exists and create a new one if it doesn't? B) Is a table the same as a sheet in Excel?[URL]...
i have a checkbox on a form, which is of type boolean in the database .when the user check the checkbox, before the data enters the database, the program should check if there exists already a "1" on the database for this field.If so the user is not allowed to check the depot.

I want to check on the server for the existence of an image, then if it does exist, display the image wrapped in other code. E.g.
if "/images/name.jpg" exists then
<div><img src="/images/name.jpg"></div>
else
Do nothing.
Seems really simple to me but NOTHING I have tried has worked (compilation errors). I've tried examples using system.io, DIM stuff with 'FileInfo', Set fs. FileInfo examples produce 'not defined' errors, 'Set' says it's outdated and not used anymore and so on.
I want to check if an Outlook folder exists, if it doesn't then create it & if it does then carry on with other code. I can create the folder as a sub folder of the Inbox but once it is created I get an error because it is still looking to create when it's already created. I have tried to capture the error but still no joy.

View 10 RepliesI am trying to download a file off my web server (easy) but the file its downloading is the updated version of the file running. I finally was able to program my automatic update software the program simply downloads a .txt file from my web server, reads it, and if the the version = (new version here) then download. If not, then go to another form. The problem I am getting though, is when the version is outdated, the file will go to download the new .exe and it gets and error saying "File already exists"

I've got a code in VB that will download a txt file from a website. The problem is I want this file to be downloaded into whatever folder that my program is in. for example, if my program was in C:
andom_folder then I would want this txt file downloaded to C:
andom_folder
Here is some of my
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile _
("http://www.mywebsite.com/test.txt", _
"define where file should go here")
But in the spot to put where to place the file, I can't just put C:andom_folder because individual users may have this program installed in other parts of there computer.

I'm trying to save this picture from a website automatically, but the problem is there is no file extension. I tried the following code, but it always gives me an error:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("http://www.hackthissite.org/missions/prog/2/PNG/", "C:PNG.bmp")
End Sub
Error: An exception occurred during a WebClient request.
P.S - I believe the reason it doesn't have an extension is because the picture changes each time the url is loaded (probably through a php code). I'm not too sure on the specifics, but the lack of an extension is what I am having problems with.

Which works ok.However, now I have to download many and the number of files to download will change everyday.I am not sure how I can get the web client to know which files have been downloaded or not? I was thinking of using a for loop to download each file. But I will never know how many there are to download?The web client could download the same file twice?
