Changing The Attributes Of A Folder?
Jun 17, 2009
I'm writing a VB program that will delete the contents of several folders, but it leaves the top folder. For example, after graduation and summer school, we delete the folders that belong to the (now) prior students. Also, we retain the folders for the returning students, but we delete the contents of their folders. Every year, all students start out with empty folders. We do this practice to manage our disk space.
With a read-only file, via code, I first change the attributes of the file to normal and then delete it, via
SetAttr(fileItem.FullName, FileAttribute.Normal)
fileItem.Delete()
I'm looking for a way to change the attributes of a folder from Read-Only to something else, like Normal.

m_ArchiveBoolean, m_HiddenBoolean, m_ReadOnlyBoolean, m_IndexedBoolean, m_CompressedBoolean are all form level booleans that's set from their appropriate Checkboxes on the form before this code runs in a BackgroundWorker.
Why is it that this code works:
Try
Dim fi As New FileInfo(element)
With fi
If m_ArchiveBoolean = False Then
[code]....
In this 2nd one attributes are being changed, but they're the wrong ones and I can't pinpoint it right off hand.
Edit: What the overall goal of this is that if the user has the attribute checkbox checked then the file needs to have it set, other wise the attribute (if it's present) needs to be unset.

Alright so heres the issue when this code runs nothing happens! This is all I could find on the internet on how to disable an account and then remove it from the GAL.
Dim Val As Integer = CInt(AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("userAccountControl").Value)
AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("userAccountControl").Value = Val Or &H2
AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.Properties("msExchHideFromAddressLists").Value = "TRUE"
'AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.MoveTo(MoveTo)
AdObject.GetDirectoryEntry.CommitChanges()

prodjects.how I can do this within .NET so my structure stays in tact?

i have a project and wish to use a setup file that installs all required software .net etc . I can manage this using the publish function .But i also need to add a couple of csv files to the installation.

Hi everyone. I'm new to VB8 and I have been learning as much as I could. I goal is to create an application where I can drag and drop a folder and then an icon that i want the current folder icon to change to- all this for vista/W7. My goal is to create the "desktop.ini" to change the folder icon as well as have vista/W7 recognize the change.

I've never used XML before so you will have to forgive me. I'm trying to pull attributes from this XML file. Specificly the SourceType ID:
HTML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<main>
<SourceType ID="XAML">
[Code].....
I also got as far as creating an XPath Query: (/main/SourceType/@ID) but for the life of me do not know what to do with it. Im trying to pull all source type ID's into an array of strings if it is possible!

I'm writing a class-library in VB.Net and one of the subs that are being called from the application which is using my library has more or less the following syntax:
Public Sub LoadDict(ByVal PhoneticType As String, ByVal strDict As String)
where PhoneticType can be phonSoundex, phonDoubleMetaphone or noPhonetic
I want to give the application-developer a possibility to select the PhoneticType from a list when writing the call of above sub (I think it's called attribute-arguments). This would make it easier for the developer since spelling-errors can be avoided and which will avoid errors when using the library. I think it's all about attributes but I haven't managed to get it to work despite trying.

DataContract XML serialization and XML attributes which is most interesting I have attempted to directly convert it to VB.NET, but it does not seem to give me the right results. All I get is the root element with no attributes:
<root xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/shutlBookingService" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"/>
how to add attributes to an element using VB.NET
OK Here's the code:
<ServiceContract()>
<AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode:=AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)>
<ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode:=InstanceContextMode.PerCall)>
Public Class Service1
[code]....
The output is:
<Test xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/shutlBookingService" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><success>0</success><timestamp>2011-10-22T09:28:52.7884244+01:00</timestamp></Test>
Which as you can see does not have success and timestamp as attributes.
