(VS 2008, VB, 3.5 framework) Files have my name in the Owner property of the file, I want the owner value to be blank. I want to create a VB app that will loop through each file and clear out the owner property value. About 40 folders with about 20,000 files. What is the best way to loop through folders, and update files? Can the owner property value be set to blank?

some controls(e.g. buttons/labels) dont have a drawmode property. Im looking to create buttons with rounded corners because they just look nicer :P. Now, the problem is that even when you have a custom paint event, the button just gets drawn first and the custom paint event will draw on top. Especially with rounded corners, where you see the parts of the default button in the corners. Is there a way to only execute the custom paint event / block the default paint?

I have used the following method to copy a file from one location to another:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(WorkPath$ & "vmcg.vmc", sessionsPath$ & "vmcg.vmc", True)
with workpath being the original location and sessionspath being a string with the new location. True is the overwrite property.The file copies a blank file with the same name, but what i want (obviously) is to copy the file and the contents.ie how am i suppose to copy a file?If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room?

I'm currently working on a project in which at one point, the user may right click a button which brings up a contextMenuStrip. I am already able to find the owner accurately from that strip, and manipulate the button clicked as follows:
Dim myItem As ToolStripMenuItem = CType(sender, ToolStripMenuItem)
Dim cms As ContextMenuStrip = CType(myItem.Owner, ContextMenuStrip)
Dim buttonPressed As DataButton = DirectCast(cms.SourceControl, DataButton)
But now for the tricky part. Within this contextmenuStrip, I have a DropDown menu with multiple items in there. I would assume you would be able to work your way up the ladder doing casts like above in the manner of
ToolStripDrowpDownItem > ToolStripDropDownMenu > ToolStripMenuItem > ContextMenuStrip
Unfortunately, when I try to get the sourcecontrol from this menuStrip, it return Nothing. Any ideas on how I can get the button that was pressed from this toolStripMenuItem? My current code is as follows (in which the sourceControl is Nothing)
Dim myItem As ToolStripDropDownItem = CType(sender, ToolStripDropDownItem)
Dim dropDown As ToolStripDropDownMenu = CType(myItem.Owner, ToolStripDropDownMenu)
Dim menuItem As ToolStripMenuItem = CType(dropDown.OwnerItem, ToolStripMenuItem)
Dim cms As ContextMenuStrip = CType(menuItem.Owner, ContextMenuStrip)
Dim buttonPressed As DataButton = DirectCast(cms.SourceControl, DataButton)
how to go about doing what I did in that first method, but just working my way up from further down the ladder?

I'm fairly new to vb.net and trying to get information for a project at work! Basically I can list all the applications running on a machine, I cannot however retrieve the details of the user running it! At the moment I'm using the following code after importing System.ServiceProcess and System.Diagnostics.Process:
Public Sub GetProcess()
Dim pr As Process
A = 0
For Each pr In Process.GetProcesses(System.Environment.MachineNam e)
ReDim Preserve arrProcess(A)
arrProcess(A) = New String() {pr.ProcessName.ToString, Process.GetCurrentProcess.PrivateMemorySize64}
A = A + 1
Next
End Sub
I have tried using pr.StartInfo.UserName but that just returns the username of the person logged onto the machine.
