The MSDN Express Library 2008 suggests the following example to delete all of the files in a folderFor Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles( My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.*")
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(foundFile, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs,FileIO.RecycleOption.DeletePermanently)NextI would like to adapt this code to delete all the files in a folder of my choosing; for example, all the files in c:msdnimages. But I'm not getting anywhere.Would someone be kind enough to explain how to substitute c:msdnimages for SpecialDirectories.
To improve performance, when one has many files to readwrite it is better to save them in smallergroup in different folders. Is there a magic number over which it is better to start splitting the folder? for example below "10.000" (invented number) files can be stored in one single folder, while above that it is better to start storing files in multiple folders.

View 5 RepliesIm trying to write a loop that will read through a number of *.csv files in a folder and then stuff the data into SQL. The code works and will happily put the data i want for a named file into SQL no problems. So when i had that working i then tried to loop it so that it would do the same for all files in the folder until all files had been done, and not error out if there where no files etc.
Maybe im tired (well, i am) or not had enough coffee but i just cant get this to work, it should be simple - i know it is infact, but its making ME feel simple.i think i should have an integer count in there, but similar examples ive seen dont use one. Also when trying to open the path i get an error at runtime "the path is not of a legal form"

I've reached the end of my project but I have several unused and not needed .xsd files from trial and error of linking my program to a database. I want to clean up a bit and get rid of them while keeping only the essential files attached to this program. I tried deleting the .xsd files but it seems too ingrained into the program to the point where the program has several errors and just breaks. I have to manually restore the files from the Recycle Bin to get the program to start working again.
What are other solutions to get these files out of the project? I thought about clicking "Exclude From Project" but am afraid of the consequences. I figured I'd check with someone here before taking action.
in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.
