I have VB 2008. How can I delete ALL files in a directory with the extension ".gif" ?
View 2 Repliesi have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String()
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fi As FileInfo

However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.
My VB program creates a file on a NAS drive via the SaveFileDialog component in a different user context than the person launching it.It works because the person who runs my ClickOnce deployed program uses RunAs from the program's exe (thereby bypassing the ClickOnce pre processor). The problem is that the program extensively supports drag and drop which doesn't work between the User and RunAs contexts.
The program is a VB 2008 Express Windows Forms Application running on XP workstations with peer-to-peer (workgroup) access control. i need to execute only the SaveFileDialog component with impersonation via the user account we've been using with RunAs. Something along the lines of what RunWithElevatedPrivileges accomplishes in SharePoint Services. This is not happening in a hostile security environment - so, the solution needn't be impregnable.
I have built a method to pull some UserProfile information out of SharePoint. It works great in C#, but I can't figure out how to convert one part of it to VB.NET. I'm not that great at VB but usually the basic code converters online get me past any problem I have.
The problem is concerning the SPSecurity.RunWithEleveatedPrivilages section below. Does any one know how to implement the delegate code in VB?

The problem is that the robocopy command is looking in the wrong directory for the source files.

I am using VB 08 running an openfiledialogue wanting to get the result of the GDS file (*.gds) to be the default extension at the drop down menu instead of All file when the openfiledialogue box opens.
I coded it with:
OpenFileDialogue.Filter = "GDS File(*.gds)|*.gds|All files|*.*"
but the results i get in the open file dialogue box remains as all files being in the drop down menu as the default file extension. How to i set it to ".gds" format?

I have a function that returns a value of the numbers of files, folders and subfolders in a directory. But i can't seem to handle the "UnauthorizedAccessException" which i get from certain read only files or folders. I tried to use both the DirectoryInfo.GetDirectories() and DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() methods. as you can see from the code below. This exception is thrown in start of the for each loop, so i'm not able to handel it with a try, Catch Ex As UnauthorizedAccessException to cintinue the loop.

I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

View 4 RepliesI'm at present looking at various ways on how to convert files without any extension and making them with a .txt extension. At present, I'm using the RENAME feature within windows to do this, but i takes time when there are a lot of files to rename. Can anybody give me a few pointers on how this can be done using Visual Basic?
View 3 RepliesI have a program that processes files in a special subdirectory and the program processes the files based upon the "Type", i.e., "Text Document". If an application, such as a text editor, installed onto the system, the "Type" may change to suit that application. For example, I recently had one change the type from "TXT File" to "UltraEdit Document (.txt}". Yes, the squirrely brace was on the end, don't know why. Well, after this app was installed, my program found no files of "TXT File" type to process even though the subdirectory was full of filename.txt files.
So, how can I get the code to look at the file extension, not the Type? A few lines of the code are shown:
