Copy Folders From One Location To Another
Dec 15, 2011
I have a button I use to copy a folder from one location to another.
The code looks like this:
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
Const FOLDER_FROM As String = "C:Testcopy1" ' Folder to copy from
Const FOLDER_TO As String = "C:Mappestruktur" 'Folder to create above folder in
Dim newDir As DirectoryInfo = Directory.CreateDirectory(FOLDER_TO & "" & New DirectoryInfo(FOLDER_FROM).Name)
[Code] .....
Now I have a folder in my project I would like to copy to an optional location. How do I set the "Folder from" const to a location inside my project and how can I set an optional location to copy the folder to at runtime?

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

I recently designed a web application using VB.Net and tried to copy a folder (containing multiple files) from one disk drive to another but unfortunately I didn't succeed.I tried using a file upload but that is only for single/multiple file selection however I want to select a complete folder instead of multiple files.

I am trying copying a selected folder and it's contents into a specified location. Now I have managed to be able to copy the contents, into a folder using the code between "With" and the first instance of "Msgbox" with some alterations. I have also, with this current code been able to create the folder with it's name into the specified location, however the contents are not moved as well and I get a empty folder.
Public Class Form1
Private thrdCopyFiles As Threading.Thread
Private WithEvents CopyStuff As New CopyFiles
Dim AddonPath As String
Dim WoWPath As String
[Code] .....
I had to replace the first two instances of AddonPath, with AddonName.

I'm trying to copy the directories located on a root drive (J:) to another location (c:vagtilleder..)The problem is, the first folder isn't beeing copied.Example:
J:
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2
After the copy it should look like this at the destination:
c:vagtilleder..
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2
But for some reason, "rootfolder" is not created at the destination, making the destination look like this:
c:vagtilleder..subfolder1subfolder2
where the error is located? OS: Win XP Pro VB 2008 Express.
Dim copytardir As String
Dim copydestdir As String
copytardir = ("J:")
copydestdir = ("C:VagtBilleder" & StrInput)

I was assigned a project to create a program of cloning two file servers. It will copy all folders (about 500, one day one folder, there are about 200 files in each day) from one file server (S1) to another file server (S2). If any error occurred while in processing, program will send an email to someone.

Try to understand:
1. User Downloads Application
2. User copies files to either desktop or my documents (lets say desktop)
3. User Opens application
4. User clicks the copy button (which is then supported by the COPY code)
The problem is that the copy code supports a Location such as; FileCopy C:UsersAdminFile.txt, E:File.txt
When the user copies the Files to desktop (lets say DIM), they have a different username so if they click Copy the copy code was set for C:UsersAdmin not DIM. I would like the code to be general so whoever copies the files wherever (Desktop, C:, Documents) and they click the copy button, the file is then copied to the Disignated Location.

I've been working on some code to rename files and have being doing so by copying them to the same location under a different name and then removing the original. When I do this for files I use the code ...
Dim file As New System.IO.FileInfo(lstFiles.SelectedItem.ToString)
Dim strNewFile As String
Dim strRename As String
Dim strMask As String = ""
[code]....
This will obviously not work as it will try to copy the folder into itself which is not allowed.

I saw a post from 3 years ago (copy folder content to other location) that looked like the "state of the art" way to copy a folder was to just copy all the files recursively. Has vb.net 2008 introduced a function to do this? I still dont see a System.IO.Directory.Copy...

I have a directory structure as follows;
ad_folder
--folderA
--folderB
--folderC[code]....
at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.

Does anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.

I'm developing an application which relies on several files to be copied over to a specific location on the users hard drive ("C: est") when they run the program for the first time, and am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to account for the fact that the original location may be in a different location for each user.
Any ideas for either getting the path where the files would be and then copying them to the desired destination?

What I am trying to figure out is a way to copy a file and paste it in another location. So that there will be the original file in the user set location, and then a duplicate of that file in, say, the "Program Files" folder. I would also need some way to check if the file exists to, so that it doesn't keep creating a new file each time the program starts up.
to sum it up: I need to be able to copy a file to a predetermined location and check if the file exists, and if it doesn't, it will copy the file over to the location.
