How To Find Application Data Files
Dec 3, 2010I'm trying to find a good strategy to access data files, image files, etc., that I want to distribute in my VB.NET deployment. The challenge I'm having is to find a place to put the files, and a means for the program to find them, regardless of whether the program is running in the Visual Studio environment as a debug build or release build, or running as an installed application.I've considered using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to find the location of the EXE file, then using relative paths to that folder. However, that approach depends on the directory hierarchy imposed by the Visual Studio tools when it separates the binaries of debug and release builds. Both builds would have to navigate upward to reach a common root folder, and the path traversal algorithm must work for the deployed EXE file too.

Find Directory With Portion Of Name?
Jun 28, 2010I'm trying to look in the program files for a directory(the gimp directory). I could hard code it but they change the file name and the exe name with the versions. So I only know that the folder contains the word gimp. How do I search for it only knowing a portion of the file name.

This is the code that I've tried but it just doesn't work.

Why Does File.Exists Fail To Find 6 / 115 Files In Directory / When Same Process Just Downloaded All
Sep 5, 2011I have a process serves as an application updater.It checks it's local cache of files and compares this against list of files online.On it's first run there are no files in the local cache and it therefore downloads ~100 of these files.[code]This appears to work very well, since Explorer confirms that all files are extracted and available.However when I later run this process again, it cannot verify the existence of 6 of these files and therefore tries to download them despite the fact that they are clearly both present and up to date.The offending code is a simple File.Exists call which appears to deny the local existence of these files, and therefore tries to get them again.The system continues to work well, but over time the continual downloading of these 6 files is going to get kind of silly.
