Dim fso, fldr
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesystemObject")

If System.IO.Directory.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("images/TravelogueGallery/" & getMaxID())) Then
System.IO.Directory.Delete(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("images/TravelogueGallery/" & getMaxID()), True)
End If
I am using the above code snippet to delete a directory but I get this error:
'G:ProjectsLatestLTCIndia 05-04-12 1415imagesTravelogueGallery19' is not a valid virtual path.
UPDATE: I have updated the question with the correct answer. The above code snippet works just fine.

vb 2008 on Vista: I have a folder called "Documents", and another called "PastDocuments". When the user deletes a client, I copy the contents of Documents into the Past Documents folder. Next, I need to delete the Documents folder, but there are existing files within that folder, so it won't let me delete it. What is the easiest way to delete ALL files within that folder?

I have created a project where I can attach files and I am displaying the name of the file, example:
Mytestfile.doc
mytestfile.txt
Mytestfile.pdf
I have the names being displayed on a listbox, so far everything is working just the way I expected to work.When a file is selected from my opendialogbox, the file gets saved into a folder under my local disk, so far so good.The problem that I am having is deleting the file from the folder.I have added a delete button and I would like to when I click or highlight one of the file names to go into where the file was saved previously and deleted This is the code that I have for the delete funtion:
[CODE Dim sFileName As String = "C:program filesSupport DeskAttachments" & ListBox1.Text
System.IO.File.Delete(sFileName)][/code]
The problem is that if I add the code to the clcik event under the listbox, it works great, but if I add the code to the click event under my delete button, it doesn't work, what I found is that under the path, if I am under the click event from the listbox when it gets to the lisxtbox.text it displays the file name, which is what I whant, but when i tried the code under the click event under my delete button the listbox.text is blank.

I have a web app which displays a list of emails that need to be sent for the day. The user can select what emails to send, then click a button to generate them. When they click the Send button, a process gets started on another thread which generates the emails, then cleans up after itself by deleting a temp folder. Once the process is finished, the Repeater is rebound to update the User's view and remove the emails that have just been sent so they don't get sent again.
My problem is that when I delete the temp folder from my 2nd thread, the UI doesn't update with the new Repeater data. It updates correctly if I just delete the files in the folder instead of the folder itself, and it also updates correctly if I run the delete the folder on the original thread instead of the 2nd one.
New Thread code
Dim t as Thread = New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf EmailLetters))
t.Start()
Delete folder code
Dim fs = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fs.DeleteFolder(Server.MapPath(".") + " mpEmailFiles")
Why won't the UI update to show the new repeater values when I delete a folder on another thread?
When you click the button, a thread gets started and a javascript load script starts executing which does a PostBack every 10 seconds. Each postback checks if the thread is complete and updates the Status label showing the result. If I delete a folder from within the background thread, the final update to the status label never occurs. If I remove the DeleteFolder call, it does.

I'm trying to delete a dll file in the system32 folder but receive a permission error (Access to the path 'c:\windows\system32\testfile.dll' is denied.)
I'm using:
[code...]
I have multiple versions of an app that uses a dll, I have to replace the dll with the correct version and register it. The plan was to delete it from system32, and copy over the relevant version, then register it.

I've been going round and round with this and thought maybe someone would know.I've created a program which with process.showdialog calls up a form into which the user enters username and password then is given access to the program itself. If the username and password is incorrect, the program closes.
There is a frmMain and in the form load I've added the process to open this sort of splash login screen. It's not a splash really, it isn't timed to close down.
I fill out the login information, click the save settings checkbox which creates a settings file in MyDocuments. My problem is that in debugging, removing the click closes the login page without the click actually becoming unclicked. The Main program opens before there's been a chance to register the "unclick." Hope this makes sense.

I am using vb.net with visual studio 2008. I have the need to have a user select a directory on a network drive to bring up a folder with a very extensive list of files. The file names within this directory are what I'm concerned with and I will need to write all these file names to a textfile in order to do a comparison with an existing text file. The user must be able to select this folder themselvesAt this point I am trying to use the openfiledialog box to open the folder however it is requiring that I select a specific file which is not my need. I need the whole folder.
I currently have a filter that is allowing all files.
fdlg.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|All (*.*)
|*.*

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

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?"

OK, so the code in this link: [URL]
allowed me to get a progress bar. It sums up the size of all the files in the folder and then moves them and as it writes them, it determines how much has been written of the total, and sends that to a progress bar.
Now, what I'm wanting to determine is the best way to do subfolders (an subfolders of subfolders, etc).
Would it be stupid/smart to get a list of the folder structure in a particular folder, then recreate that structure, then get a list of all the files and then use the code in the above thread to recreate those files in their respective folders?
I am making a rather simple backup utility that takes one folder and moves it to another and I'm just trying to figure out the most logical or "accepted" way of handling folders when at the same time, you need to have a total of all the size of all the files being moved so you can display an accurate progress bar.

Instead of creating a listbox to hold the names of one's favorites, I've made it so when you add a bookmark it adds it under the directory (yourusername)/bookmarks. (yourusername) is represented by login.usernametextbox.text. Now I've added a filelistbox to the form and want it to display the contents of the bookmarks folder only without the file name extensions. Just the title. Then when a user clicks on the title it navigates to that specified file by opening a new instance of a browser form. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub Bookmarks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
bmarks.Path = Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "ookmarks"
End Sub[code]....

A form that will display the contents of a folder? I have my forms set up, I want the user to then click on a button that will load up a nw form which will contain a window that is a folder in one of my drives. There may be folders inside this main folder which the user can go into, but they can't go back frrom the original main folder and look at the other contents. First up, Is an explorer form the one I am looking for? Making one of those, it seems to be the right path but where to from there?
Another thing I need to be able to do is have the user double click on the files inside of the folder. When double clicked the folder still maintains its current state, as the files that will be clicked will do the work in the background. I have all the forms set up and linked together, I just need to know how to get this folder into a form..

I don't really know how to code but am pretty good at tweaking. I'm trying to set up a script that I can run to delete a single file, multiple files, a folder or multiple folders on a list of servers.I was thinking that the script could read the files to be deleted from a .txt file and apply the deletion to a list of servers in another .txt file.Example:
FilesToBeDeleted.txt:
