Copying Multiple Folders From One Location To Another?
May 17, 2012
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 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?
I have managed to list folders in my listbox1 and the add them to listbox 2.Now, what i need now is to be able to copy the list of folder in listbox2 to another location.below is the code i am using.Browse drive and and fill listbox1 with the folders on that drive.Path.text hold the path to where the folders.
If FolderBrowserDialog.ShowDialog() = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then Path.Text = FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath Dim Dirs As New List(Of String)[code]....
how to copy the foldera nd files in the folder that are listed in listbox2 to another location.
Is there any way to change the installion of a click once app to the program files location so that it will be availabe to all users? Right now it is burying the location of the files within the user folder.
I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.
How should I handle this:
A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one
I'm developing an application to help law enforcement retrieve and analyze logs and other files left by the use of Pidgin (a multi-protocol messenger client). Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.
Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.
(Also, this is the first program I've written since about 2005, and I'm essentially teaching myself VB as I go. If you'd like to see what I've cobbled together so far, you can find the program here.)
I know you can copy a file using:[code]The only way I know how to copy multiple files is by using a for loop, but if you choose to display a dialog box, you get a dialog box for every file you copy instead of one showing the progress of all the files.So with that said, is there any way to copy multiple files, and only have one dialog box displayed?
is there any way to copy multiple files at the same time WITH PROGRESS BAR like in windows explorer? I am using system FileIO.FileSystem.CopyFile for copying single file, but I want to do this with more then one file.
I have built a com object in vb with the "Make Assembly COM Visible" that I use from the strange dialect, "Clarioneese." I maintain 2 versions of our main software, so I have 2 folders, one for each version.My COM object works from one of the folders, but not the other. I copied the exposed dll into both. I used regasm on the copy in the nonworking folder, but still, my Clarioneese programs can only work it if run from one folder, and not the other.Working Folder: C:cs46exe (I didn't name this, don't blame it on me)Non working folder: C:cssqlsdkv6 (I inherited this awful folder structure)If I move an exe built by Clarion into the cs46exe folder, the dll works, but not in the v6 folder.I thought I understood how this works, but I guess not. You can't be successful at this unless you're at least 1/2 a bubble off level.
I've written a backup utility for one of our applications; this process involves coping sub directories of a specified base folder and an unknown number of folders within folders. I've got the process down to copy the files and directories pretty easily but I want to compress the folder structure to keep the space needed as small as possible.I've found a few utilities that work well for getting the files from the specified base folder but not any of the folders that exist in the specified start directory.The one utility I found required me to recursively search directories for the variably named directories and I am hoping for a simple switch that can be used that says base folder/file and sub directories.
Here is my need for a windows form program. I have a program that creates .xml files with the same name but on different dates. It is broken down by Type/Date/Time/file.xml. The "file.xml" is the same name every time.
What i need is to grab all of these xml files and export them to excel by pulling certain information out of them.
coding for searching through a windows file structure to pull these files out.
There will be something like 30-40 of these files spread throughout different "Type", "Date" and "Time"
This one has been troubling me for some time , i keep coming back to it researching it for a couple of days on and off then get disheartened and give up for a while.Basically i want to copy one file in to multiple folders that have the same structure except for one distinction
i have been assigned a project by my organization to make a portal using vb.net which would list all the files and folders kept at the server, and i need to add a functionality wherein on a single click the user should be able to download all the files present in a particular a listbox which contains various files selected for the download, iam using file.copy method for this as the files are to be copied in the intranet only but this works fine when i run it on my computer but as soon as i deploy it and in the client server architecture the files are not copied even to the server nor in the client, although no error is shown. [code]
I need to rename/move a file to a different folder after downloading. When I log into the customer's FTP site via the url, user, password it put in into a particular folder. I can download these files using the URI but I cannot Rename (Move) into a different folder (i.e. DONE). I get a The remote server returned an error: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access using the FTP Class and FTPClient. [url]...
I'm trying to copy multiple files from a directory, put them into an array, then copy just the 30 newest files(I haven't coded the 30 newest loop yet). I added a list box to the following code just to ensure the all the files are storing into the array properly... they are. When it try's to copy, it renames the first file to .log, then tells me that the .log file already exist. How do I get it to copy and keep the source file name in the destination folder Eventually I'll loop this and grab only 30 of the files.
Here's the code I'm playing with: Private Sub transferButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles transferButton.Click
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.
I was wondering, if there is a control for selecting multiple folders and files in an OpenFileDialog, like this (In MFC)Or if there is a way to create that kind of contro
I'm currently making a program in Visual Basic 2010 for my Course work, and I'm struggling a little as it involves a "log-in system."
The system will save the Users Information in a folder (Called UserInfo.txt) (Address, Password, Email etc..), and the folder name being the username of the User.
When an Admin wants to view or edit a User, I want the Admin to be able to select the User from a drop-down list and when selected, the information of the user loads in and is displayed in the text boxes bellow (on the same form). The Information can then be edited and Saved back to the file of that user selected with a "Save" button.
I've created a two-worksheet template in Excel - the first sheet is for pretty charts, and the other sheet is for the data that drives those charts. I've written a vb.net 2005 app that can dump in all my data on the second worksheet, and the chart worksheet updates perfectly.I would like to do this report several times over in the same workbook. (So the tabs would read 'Person1 - Chart', 'Person1 - Data', 'Person2 - Chart', 'Person2 - Data', etc.)
My solution was to, for every person this report was going to be run for, copy the chart template, and then copy the data template. The problem is that every chart template that is created points to the original data worksheet. How can I set what worksheet each chart worksheet is pointing at?
A couple of questions about the FolderBrowserDialog in VB .NET Express 2005... 1. How can I make it so this control allows selection of multiple folders at a time? 2. It remembers the folder I selected last time (in the same session), and highlights that folder, which is good, but that selected folder appears near the bottom of the window. Is there a way to make it so the previously selected folder appears in the middle of the window (i.e. the scroll bar is further down the window)? See screen shot attached for how it currently looks when the window opens.
I have a list of directories that get files added to by other users on my network.I would like a script (triggered by scheduled task) that would detect if there are files in these folders older than 15 minutes, and send me an email. I am able to run Batch/DOS, Python, Perl, or VBS - I have them all installed on the server. As long as they can be triggered from Scheduled task.
(Currently using VB.NET 2010 Express) I'm trying to make a program, the main of which is file transfer. I'm trying to create a program that will keep files and folders synchronized across multiple client computers. I'm using a File system watcher to trigger events, and Using a simple System.Net.Sockets UDP client transfer (found via google) to transfer commands between it and itself on other computers.
Here's that code (this just sends from one textbox to another over the internet) Imports System.Net.Sockets Imports System.Net Imports System.Text Dim udpClient As New UdpClient(1024) Dim RemoteIpEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0) [Code] .....
By this method, I can rename, move, or delete files. I want to implement file transfer, so that whenever a new file is created, or updated, my program will automatically transfer the file to the other computers and update them there.
I have a copying error with my program. I am trying to copy the internet cache folder, and the error states that some files cannont be copied (read only maybe?) How can i make it copy, or just skip the uncopyable files?
How can i avoid multiple log into the application at the same time from different locations? If one user is logged in and the other user uses the same ID and PW to log in then he/she will not able to log in.
We have several VB.NET websites running internal applications. These sites are often modified with minor changes, and are maintained on the server as uncompiled code. I'm looking for the best way to maintain classes so that we can reference them from multiple websites.
Specifically, we're looking to put some common functions (error logging, common database calls, etc.) into a centralized location where they can be maintained separately from the sites and called as needed. And we'd prefer to have this on the server as uncompiled code, so it can be uploaded without precompiling. I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but what is the best way to set this up?
I am wanting to build a menu from multiple xml files in a central location this will be to help with adding crystal reports after application has been deployed to an end user.I am able to get the list of all the xml files in a folder it is just the adding the ReportName to the different menu buttons i have set up.
Dim dirs As String() = Directory.GetFiles(Application.StartupPath & "Reports", "*.xml") Dim dir As String For Each dir In dirs Dim xe As XElement = XElement.Load(dir)Next
I have this code. credits to jmchiney. My goal is when I press a certain key, the picturebox corresponding to that key should be moved to a certain location. Exactly like in the text twist game.
I have a code running and doing what I want but It is only applicable for single letter. For example the word alabama. all letters without duplicates are placed properly but for letter a, only one letter a is being accepted and moved. that goes for all letters.
Here is the
Dim pb As New PictureBox Select Case (e.KeyChar) Case CChar(letterPicbox1.Tag)
[Code].....
Another one. when a certain letter is already placed to the location I set and once I press again the same letter, the location changes. What I want is when I already gave pictureboxA a location and then I press "a" which correspond to pictureboxA again it should be stationary and check if there are other letter "a" in my pictureboxes and move the next detected letter "a" to the next position. Like i said. just like text twist game.
