I am sure this is a simple question to the more advanced, however, to the less advanced I am having a problem. I have to come up with a quick program (that works) for my job (I am a systems admin) that will either look in a database or excel sheet (which ever is easier) and find copy files from one directory to another. I know how to move, copy and delete, however, I need it to look for the specific filename.

I am using visual studio 2008 (vb.net). I have a long list of file names in column A on an excel sheet. These files are located in a directory on my network drive. I have to copy these files over to another folder. I know how to copy files in vb.net, however, I need to copy the files listed on column A. (example: column A has - 453245435.tif, 43453345.tif, american justice.tif etc....)

I have a program that I have been creating for work, however, I am down to the last part and can't figure it out......The code below copies files from one directory to another from a list of file names in the first column of an excel sheet. This part works fine. What I am trying to figure out is how can I have a prefix in column B where it renames the file while being copied to the destination folder?
Example:
Column A
book1.tif
book2.tif
book3.tif

This is probably a really basic question - but I have a list of items (custom objects) being passed from one winform (.net 3.5) to another. I want to create a local list to store changes that only get persisted if the user clicks save. Currently if the user clicks cancel - the changes are still applied in the first form because I assume the objects are reference type.I have the save working as it calls a service layer to do the save and then refreshes the other form - but not the cancel.

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

View 19 RepliesIn my ignorance, I thought I could subscribe to any host, so I chose hostmonster, and copy files from Visual Web Developer to it, thereby creating my first website. Wrong! Hostmonster is linux-based, so the files won't copy without assigning an index page at the site. The rep at the host said that linux doesn't read the language(s) I've been using to develop pages, Visual Basic and C#.
