I am wanting to copy a folder to a compressed archive like a zip and then, How would I go about doing it? Do I need to call winzip or something? If so would it look something like...
Try WinZip(FoldePath)End Try EDIT- I was also wanting to add .bak so it would be C:Test.zip.bak, or is there a better way?
I have a directory structure as follows;
ad_folder
--folderA
--folderB
--folderC[code]....
at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.
I have a program that when I run it, it creates two files. One file is deleted every time it runs and the other is deleted only if I specify for it to be deleted. If I do not specify for it to be deleted and I run the same execution, the program complains. I want to be able to make a backup copy of the existing file and have that backup copy set to a file number increments every time it is backed up.
This is the command line that is sent to the program: relap5(program) -i input_file.i -o Output_file.o(this one is deleted every time) -r restart_file.r(this is the file that I want backed up.Here is a image of the gui that I created that does the above run for me.
Im doing a project in which i need to take backup for the database each and every month while doing this the previous backup is replaced i dont want to replace it. every time i create backup it should remain there im using access as database?
View 3 RepliesI am trying to backup an SQL database but can't get rid of the error:"The process cannot access the file 'C:Original.MDF' because it is being used by another process" Once I open a form, using VB2008 from Visual Studio 2008, closing the form and/or connections to the database seem to have no affect.

All it is is that when playing World of Warcraft people are having to clear their cache for the game to operate all the time, if they don't do this then the game bugs out in some places - so I thought of this as a way to get better at VB .NET by making a small application that asks for the directory of their WoW folder, searches through their cache folders and deletes the ones that they are also asked how they'd like to delete.I don't plan on actually releasing this in any way, I just want to make it to further my VB .NET skills and hopefully get a little better.
Anyway, it doesn't make sense much, sorry about that, but all I want to ask is if this program will work on any other computer or will I have to find a way to deploy it?Also, one thing that I thought I should put in this program is a backup function just in case something goes wrong. I just thought of moving the cache files that are being deleted somewhere else but this will move the files and folders one-by-one, is there any way I can make a certain type of file that only this program can read, where the files being backed up are placed in?
I have written a piece of code for my backup. It looks something like this:

I am making a VB.NET application that can download/backup the database that is currently on a remote server. I have Remote Server IP,Username,Password and Database name. I am also able to connect to it. But I don't know what to do after connecting to it. I don't know what all files are need to be backed up. (I think database and log file both must be backed up, I am not sure).

View 1 Repliesis it possible to skip forward or backup to the previous record in a database within a Do Loop of an ExecuteReader routine? For example, with the following code:

I have seen lots of examples with a treeview to list folders then display the folders context in a listview.
But what id like is a checked treeview, that not only displays the folder list, but the actually folder contents as well.
I use the code below to fill the list box and it works great. But i need it to only look in the \Software and \Software\FolderName Foldername could be any folder in the Software folder i need it to get all the .exe from software folder and only one more folder deep no more.

But If I had not use an auto implemented property and declared my own backing-field as follows this is accessible from the subclass: Private _Enabled as Boolean ---- EDIT ----
The abve line is incorrect - this is not possible, it was in fact Protected in the original code which allowed access from the sub class See @JonSkeet answer ---- EDIT Of course I can just access Enabled from the sub class to work around this but can someone explain why this is the behaviour?
Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?
Is there a quicker way to check directories? For example I want to check if the folder "A Folders" contains folders from 000A all the way to 999A then lists the folder that are missing? Do you think this is possible?

View 5 RepliesHow does one go about moving a directory using VS2005? I have a treeview that is populated with the network's directory structure, but only on a much smaller scale. When the folder is selected in the treeview, the full path is displayed in a label.
This is the source folder. The destination folder will be hardcoded. The issue is that its only moving the files within the source folder and not the folder and its contents. I have tried using the Directory.Move but kept getting an odd error, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." It doesn't exist in the destination folder...odd[code...]
i am working on a app. and i need to know how can i share floders that the app will use to save flies over the net. i was thinking about crearting a data base that would save all the files on to it , and then share the data base with fellow co workers, but i do not know how to add a excel file or word doc. in the database. i am pretty new to all of this so any help would be great. the app is writen in visual studio 2010.
basical it will let the user access the file he needs to compelte his work off shore. the files are created and saved as he needs them. once he is finished, i need the app to send the floder to some type of server ( dont have a server yet) so that the office and other co workers can see the files when they run the app.
I have a bunch of images loaded in as resources then i added a mediaplayer.resx file so i could keep the images separate... only now i have just discovered it doesnt? It still puts all images together, so i cant add multiple images with the same name? (needs to be the same name - its a filename)
how to add folders and images right into the project explorer.How do I then reference the images? are they just like files? so it would be app pathfolderimage.png ? WIll it add to the distibution like this?
i have maid a program witch has images in it from my hdd. Now when i build my program and send it to other ppl thay cannot see the images. i know this is becaws the path i directed to pull the images from is not on there pc nor do thay have the images lol. so my question is how do i put the images in the actual exe as in the actual program that i have built so all the images and stuff are all in there. so thay only need to run the exe and not have any sub folders to hold the images.

View 2 RepliesIn subversion/TortoiseSVN, I am wondering how to un-version a directory. We have a large number of projects, each with a BIN and OBJ folder which are under source control. I want to delete these two folders from subversion, but keep the folders locally.I tried the "Delete (Keep local)" option, and that works on my machine. However when another developer performs an Update, their BIN and OBJ folders get deleted. I need it to simply become unversioned when the other developers perform an update, instead of having them removed from their machines.
