Create A Folder At User Specified Location?
Jun 24, 2009
I have am Explorer form and I want to be able to use a treeviewNode and all of its contents to create a windows folder structure.Each Treeviewnodes would be used to create a folder.
The problem I have is that I am using a SaveFileDialog Form to allow the user to specify where the Folder structure should be created and it only accepts a file as input or end point.
How can I get the SaveFileDialog form to accept a folder, e.g the desktop, without specifying a document in the folder?

I currently have a program that allows users to download files into a folder of there choice. I currently have 10 different forms all with a text box to show folder location and a browse button for user to find it, but what I want to do is create a form that will appear at the start where the end user can enter the folder location so that they don't have to enter the folder path for every download they want to do. How would I go about doing this I have a textbox, browse button and an OK button but have no idea what to do next.

I am trying to copy an entire folder and all of its contents that is in the same location as my program that is running to a user selected location. I started off by using a SaveFileDialog, but now I am working with a FolderBrowserDialog. Here is some code:
Private Sub BackupButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles BackupButton.Click
Dim sourcePath As String
[Code]....
But when I run the program, it works, but it does not copy the entire folder in the application startup location.. how I can copy that folder that is in the same location as my program to a user selected location?

How can I allow the user to create a new folder and tell it where to be saved? I was thinking of using the savedialog but I don't know how to use it for folders instead of files.

I have a sub in my app that creates a folder called logs. I'd like to ask the user where they want to create the folder (explorer?) maybe even let them name it whatever they want. Also there will be text files created in that folder, so they will have to be saved in whatever folder the user creates.
Here's the sub.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnServerDiagnostics.Click
Using p1 As New Process
p1.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
p1.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
[Code] .....

I am going to show you how to create a browsefolderdialog. All this does it popup to the user and let them choose a folder.
For this you need:
1 Button
1 Textbox
Double click your button and add in the
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Dim BrowseFolder As New FolderBrowserDialog
[CODE]........
This sets your textbox1.text to what ever folder is selected. After that you can do whatever you want with your selected folder. This is how it will work when you are done: [URL]

I created a folder in the Solution Explorer. Now the program will need to access that folder. How can I access the folder? The folder in my solution explorer is named "Machines"I just can't seem to find a way to programmatically get there. Is it perhaps that this folder needs to be specified somewhere other than in the solution explorer? I looked at the references and went to Reference Path, but it looks like you can only specify a specific path, I would rather do it Dynamically depending on the install (I think my problem is in here somewhere). For that matter could it be that this folder won't be created untill the project is compiled

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 am using the Folder Browser Dialogue to allow the EU to select a folder for HTML output. The dialogue always shows in the middle of the screen. Is it possible to set where the dialogue appears?It currently overlaps an image which is expoted to HTML, however when this image is exported, it captures part of the folder dialogue box. The image export routine is 3rd party and uses layers so I can not change the export function.Or is it possible to check the dialogue has closed prior to me performing the image export?

how to move a single file to a new location. Can you move the contents of an entire folder to a new location (Lets say... inside another folder)?
Here is my code for moving a file to a new location. As you might see, this is how it works. You first select a file. Then you type in the driver (C, D, E) where your 'TEST' folder is located. Then you click another button and bam! File is loaded into the TEST folder.
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
[Code].....
I was moving files to a new folder when I realized some of the files were in the same folder and thought "Wouldn't it be grand to be able to just move the contents of this folder into the new without doing it one file at a time?"

I installed the new one. I then imported an old project made using vb 2008 EE.I found that a few errors were reported.In the project I addressed some function from a dll called "rsource.dll". I used the following function call:Public Declare Function rs_init Lib "rsource.dll" Alias "init" () As Double.The other different thing is the projevt was developed on a 32 bit OS but since then I have upgraded to 64bit (if this makes any difference). he other thing is where is the debugger PAUSE button. has it been removed from vb 2010?Also when i run debug it seems to create the exe in the Build output target folder instead of the default bindebug folder why is this?

I have discovered Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments and My.Computer.Filesystem.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments
I know how to check if the folder exists, but it's awfully difficult to find a way to create a folder in a 'special folder'.
How do I programmatically create a folder in the users 'My Documents'?

I have the following code used to enter the name of a text file and then display it in a richtextbox. This is working but I would like it so that I could take out the initial part of the filename detailing the location of the filename to simply set it to the project folder, is there any way of doing this using the App.path function?
My code is as follows:

The user will enter a folder name in the combobox1 and clicking the create folder button the folder will be created in the applications bin folder; For doing this, i did this
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
If ComboBox1.Text = "" Then
[Code]....
Now when the user enters a file name in the combobox2 and clicks the save button(Save button is not shown in the snapshot) then a .txt file with the name entered by the user in the combobox2 will be created in the folder whose name is specified in the combobox1.
