Create Folders Based On File Names
Jan 2, 2009
I have a directory with about 200 files in it. Is there a way to create a folder for each file with the folder name being the same as the file name minus the extension and then put the file in the folder.For example: Folder "test" would be created from file "test.doc". Then the file "test.doc" would be moved into folder "test".I have some experience with visual basic, and my thought process for this was: make a loop that brought in each file name > store as a variable > create folder with the name in the variable > remove the last four characters from the folder name > move file into the folder > clear variable > repeat.

I'm attempting to create folders from various files within one folder, based on the file names - extensions. I found this code snippet from this link, however I'm getting a loader lock error ("Attempting managed execution inside OS Loader lock. Do not attempt to run managed code inside a DllMain or image initialization function since doing so can cause the application to hang.").

The code below creates multiple folders based on different file names and moves those files into the new folders. For example, files ABC and XYZ are moved into a newly created folder named ABC and XYZ. I want to advance the code to allow slightly different file names to go into a common folder. Example, I want file ABC_rock, ABC_soil, and ABC_water to be put into a folder named ABC still, AND file XYZ_rock, XYZ_soil, and XYZ_water to be put into a folder named XYZ. I do not want a separate folder created for ABC_rock, ABC_soil, and ABC_water.
Dim strOutputLocation As String = "C:\Temp"
Dim rootPath As String = strOutputLocation
For Each filepath As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles(rootPath)

I need help with file enumeration. I'm trying to create a program that can list files, folders and sub folders locations in a log file for diagnostic purposes. After it searches it can open notepad and display the results. The problem I'm having is that I'm a beginner and not familiar with file enumeration.

A.) When I use code to delete lets say Image123.jpg in folder Pics and I upload another image and rename that image also Image123.jpg and place it into folder Pics for some reason the new image get's displayed but its using the dimensions of the Image I delete. Using a Repeater over here to display the image.................
B.) When I just copy and past say Image99.jpg into my Pics folder that all ready contain a Image99.jpg then of course it changes the original one. So for some reason it must get cached because when I run my page it is still shows the first Image. Using a normal Image control over here................
Why is it doing A and B........and how can I go around this.....Problem A it more important to me because I need to change the Images names when the User clicks on "Change Logo" button.

I want to create personal folders during installation. I did the following steps:
Right click on your setup project ->
View -> File System
Right click on node "File system on
[Code]....
I know the above steps are correct and should work because i did it in the other application (solution) and worked fine. When i did same exact steps (of course i changed the folder name to be created), the application gets deployed but when i install, i don't get the Personal Folder under Documents? I wonder why did it work with my first solution and didn't work with the current one!

Users can easily rename special folders like Computer, Network etc. to whatever they like. Also if the computer is using a different locale, the name of those folders will also be different.I want to get the current names of all special folders like Computer, Recycle Bin, Network etc. in my app. Is there a way to do this? A specific API? A registry value?For eg, user renames My Computer to Super Computer. My app should show that My Computer's name is Super Computer.

My requirement is to create a XML file based on an XSD. The source data for this file will be coming from a database. For the purposes of this test, I am trying to manually assign the values.
I followed these steps:
1) Used the XSD.exe to create a VB Class.
PHP
xsd /d /l:VB emprec.xsd /n:XSDSchema.EmpCollection
2) Added the VB Class in my project.
3) If I try to compile my code, I get an error.
Here's the code I wrote:
VB.NET
Private Sub cmdXML_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdXML.Click
Dim emp As New EMPLOYEE_COLLECTION
[Code].....
How do I resolve this? I am unable to add any code in the 'TODO section for this generated class.

I'm working on a little project that will inpart take the registry values for the exchange server configuration on a windows mobile device and then convert them to an OMA provisioning XML file. I have the xml code nailed, but we discovered in that process that the active sync exchange partner subkey is named differently on every device but, obviously the value names stay the same.
This is what I have so far but I'm stuck on obtaining the key name and then placing it into variable.
Const branch As String = "SoftwareMicrosoftActiveSyncPartners"
Dim ActiveServer As RegistryKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(branch)
Dim subkeys() As String = ActiveServer.GetSubKeyNames
For Each subkey In subkeys
'some actions
if name "Server" exists then
Dim exchkey =
Else
messagebox.show "Exchange Server not configured. Please configure a server and try again"

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.

I am creating a project in VB.NET in which one of the reports require that the name of employees should be displayed as column names and whatever work they have done for a stated period should appear in rows below that particular column.Now as it is clear, the columns will have to be added at runtime. Am using an ODBC Data source to populate the grid. Also since a loop will have to be done to find out the work done by employees individually, so the number of rows under one column might be less or more than the rows in the next column.Is there a way to create an empty data table and then update its contents based on columns and not add data based on addition of new rows.

I am creating a form with the resources which I am creating a programming with languages. I have created three resources which the one that are ZH-CH (Chinese), el-GR (Greece) and en-US (English-United States). I have also built some texts in the resources so I have debugged the program. Everything seen to be is fine, but I find that some weird stuff in the project bin folder. I found that the program has created three folders (ZH-CH, el-GR and en-US) with the dll file in each folder (Project1.resources.dll), I have renamed each dll files name with each different name and I have moved them in the bin folder, so I have deleted three folders. I ran the program again and they have created the new same folders with the same name where it was.
I want to use the same dll files that I have renamed (like each of these: English.dll, Greek.dll and Chinese.dll) without placing them in the resources folder. Id find it so impossible to avoid the program by creating these new folders with the same dll files name without using the files that I have renamed them and placed in the project bin folder. do to find out where the information in VB.Net application that are making the program to create the folders with the same dll files name (project1.resources.dll)?
