View 5 RepliesI am current creating a file deleter in VB.net, although for some reason I am unable to get the contents of my folder on to the listbox, my code is as follows:
Public Class Form1
Dim dir = "C:UsersLimitedDesktop"
Private Sub listbox()[code].....
I've got another problem. This time I am Trying to display the contents of a folder into a textbox:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub browseFolder_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles browseFolder.Click
FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = _
My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments
[Code]...
I know the line TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath is not what I want to be doing, but thats the only thing I can get to work, but that just displays the folder path obviously. What I want is to display the contents of the selected folder into TextBox1
So suppose there is a string: StringRamdom and you display it's contents in a listbox.
so listbox.Items. Add(StringRandom) but it should be displayed as A, B, C
not
A
B
C

View 14 RepliesInstead 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]....

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 (*.*)

View 6 Replieshow 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.

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 am trying to show a list of folders then copy only the selected folders.It displays the folders correctly but copies only the contents not the folder itself, how can I correct this?

how to create a list of the contents of a folder (T:ENERGY) using *.pdf as the filter. Also could this be adapted to read folders names and place that into a string ";" delimited to be called upon and modify T:ENERGY)?
View 6 RepliesOK, 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.

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 want to be able to add a folder (and inturn, all of it's contents including subfolders) to a setup project. I can manually add a folder, then manually add all of the files for that folder; but this is a NetHelp folder with lots of subfolders and files.
Is there a way to tell the setup to add everything in a folder to the setup files to be distributed??
I am getting an error that I can't track down.

next i
I get an error message to try new but I can't figure out what it means.
The user enters information into a textbox, and if it is present in the litsbox an error message will be displayed, if it is not already in the listbox then it will be added to it.
I save what the user enters as a variable and i am wondering if its possible to check the exact contents of a listbox?
Is it possible to save listbox contents, on form_closing event, and reload them on the form_load event? If so, could you please show me how?
