Windows 7 FileExists Error - Get The Drive Letters To Work In The IDE?

Jul 11, 2011

I'm running Visual Studio 2005 SP2 on Windows 7. When I'm in the IDE and execute a My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists, or DirectoryExists or CopyDirectory, etc. that accesses a network drive using the drive letter (i.e. L:) it thows an error. If I use the full UNC (\computernamesharedfolder) it works. However, if I go into my project's bin folder and run the compiled .exe from there, the drive letters work. I've tried running VS.Net as admin and it makes no difference. How do I get the drive letters to work in the IDE?

My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.html")it returns all the ".html" files, as expected. But if I useMy.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.htm")it returns ".htm" & ".html" files, when I would expect it to return only the ".htm" files. Is this a bug?

.net - Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory() With Read Only Files?

Sep 23, 2010

I recently came across a problem with My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(). It will not delete read only files.I found out by Googling that I could delete the read only files by changing the file attributes to 'Normal'. So I wrote a recursive function, as below.

Private Sub DeleteDir(ByVal dir As DirectoryInfo)

For Each d In dir.GetDirectories
DeleteDir(d)[code].....

It seems to work fine, but it would be nice if My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory() had another parameter to delete read only files, or there was an easier way to do this.

.net - Difference Between Computer.FileSystem And System.IO.File?

May 3, 2011

There is a lot of duplication of functions in the My.Computer.FileSystem and System.IO.File namespaces.

So what exactly is the difference between: My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(strSource, strDest, True)

and:System.IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest, True)

Is there a performance difference? What is everyone's opinion on which which has the edge on read-ability? I personally use the My.Computer Namespace but that is just habit now.

This has to be simple, but can't find the answer.I want to display a list of all files from a folder in a listbox. Easy..., but I want to display only the filenames without their paths.

For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:My Folder")
ListBox1.Items.Add(foundFile)

This gives me list looking like that:

Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Documents Returns The Wrong Folder Name In VB2008?

Apr 2, 2011

TempUserPath = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments Returns the string "C:UsersOwnerDocuments" but that folder is actually named "My Documents" (i.e., is "C:UsersOwnerMy Documents" in the Finder).When I try to create a new folder called "Documents" in the Owner directory, Windows asks if I want to merge its contents with the My Documents folder. If I say yes, I am left with only the My Documents folder and none named "Documents".Thus when I attempt to read or write a file to the TempUserPath location, I get an "access denied" error. This happens even after I manually change the name of the folder from "My Documents" to "Documents".

Why Doesn't The DeleteDirectory Method Of The Computer.FileSystem Class Work On "special" Folders

Aug 14, 2008

if they choose to use a networked version of my software, I will need the main server doing the authenticating. This is a problem, because from what I understand, it is quite easy to clone MAC addresses. I have looked into using the CPU ID and the HDD ID, but those are not unique, well at least I don't think so. Reason why I say they are not unique is because someone has the exact same CPU ID as me, and the HDD ID changes from partition to partition (same drive). Maybe the HDD ID is a partition ID instead? Anyways, I was thinking maybe I could get the Physical serial number of both the HDD and CPU, but I have not been able to find anything yet.

VB - Desktop Computer With Cable Connection On Back Allows To Watch TV On Computer Using Windows Media Center

Jun 12, 2010

I have a desktop computer with a cable connection on the back that allows me to watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center. I had the idea of writing a program that would access this feed and send it to another computer (laptop) via my network. That way I would be able to watch TV from anywhere that my network spans. I have no idea if this is possible or how I would even do it,

So I have three questions.
1: Is it possible?
2: How would I go about access the feed?
3: How would I send it over the network?

My original thought was doing it in Flash, but I'm not very good at Flash so I wanted to do it in VB.Net.

Testing For FileExists In VB 6.5

Jun 4, 2009

I'm trying to determine if a file "G:myfilesfile1.txt" exists. Using sample code from numerous web searches I can't make any of the FileSystemObjects work. Seems to me the FSO routines are an add-in to VB. If this is so, how do I add them in?

In noncode, this is what I really want to do:

if "file1.txt" exists AND "file2.txt" exists
if "file1.txt" filedate > "file2.txt" filedate
copy "file2.txt" to "fileold.txt"

However, not all of the computers and servers are Windows boxes, and this is causing us some grief.
