I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
I have a weird behavior when trying to copy a file with System.IO.File.Copy. The file never gets copied. More than that, the call doesn't generate an exeption!

I have successfully constructed several one-dimensional arrays and correctly passed them to an output subroutine. I am trying to pass/copy the values of each array to an Excel spreadsheet, but have encountered 2 problems.
Problem 1: The program fails on the following line: outSheet1.Range("B2").Resize(passFile1IndMax + 1).Value = passFile1Amount with the error message: "Value does not fall within the expected range"
Problem 2: When commenting out this line (and the corresponding one for passFile2Amount), the program no longer fails, however, the results show 8 rows (passFile1IndMax and passFile2IndMax both = 7) of the same data (e.g., A2:A9 all = 3/1/2011 = passFile1Date(0))--the first item in each array.I am trying to avoid looping through each index value and assigning values on a cellby-cell basis.

View 8 RepliesI'm trying to copy cells from Excel to a new mail message in Outlook. Excel and Outlook both open fine but it doesn't copy.

I'm using the excel object model (importing namespace Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel) to open an Excel.Application object in my code, then open a workbook, worksheet, etc. What I'm doing is ridiculously simple: I'm opening two worksheet objects; one is already populated with data and another one is empty and is supposed to be populated with some rows from the first worksheet. If some conditions, regarding cells in the first worksheet, are not met, then I want to copy the entire row in the second worksheet, at the first available row. I have an integer counter, initialized at 1, which indexes the first empty row in the output worksheet this counter is obviously incremented every time I insert a row at outputSheet.Rows(counter).
Every solution I've Googled either uses VBA (I'm looking for a solution based on VB.NET) or is not compatible with .NET framework 3.5 (I'm receiving exceptions at runtime). I'm guessing I'm not using the Range object correctly or something; in any case, what's the simplest way to do this? I really don't want to open an OLEDB connection to my excel file: this is too complicated for the simple row copying mechanism I'm trying to implement.[code]...
I am using visual studio 2008 (vb.net). I have a long list of file names in column A on an excel sheet. These files are located in a directory on my network drive.

I have many files at work that need to be copied from one directory to another. However, I do not need to copy all the files at once.
I get excel sheets with the list of files that need to be copied once a week. So, in the main directory there is about 150.000 files and I only need to copy about 800 at a time.
I am thinking of having a textbox and an open dialog so I can pick the directory the main files are at - another one where I can choose where they will be copied to.
The problem is the list will be in excel sheet (column A). How do I have vb.net (2008) see the file names in column A and find them and move them?

View 2 RepliesI have had a few programming courses in college, but I'm far from a VB expert. I work at a bank and I want to copy information off of webpages and put it into an Excel worksheet. I created a macro that automatically opens up Internet explorer -- but really what I need is a subroutine (or a method) that copies information from 1.1Million records / screens and places the information into MS Excel.There are 1.1M records, so ideally-- I like it to copy all information over a weekend and come in on Monday and be done. At the very least, I would like a macro that can run off of a shortcut and copy all information on a webpage and puts information into each respective cell. Ie. copies the name field and puts into the name cell in Excel... address field into the address cell in Excel.

I am using asp.net oledb to export information to excel file. I encounter problems when the information to export becomes too big, in this case the code I have given below, the excel file generated becomes an empty spreadsheet.If I changed the loop to 1123 for insertion of the rows. The generated excel file is fine, 1125 rows, and 4 columns shown.A test program in windows form is also working fine regardless of how many rows.[code]I couldn't find a solution to my problem as well. What I did eventually was to run the process using another separate windows service. The code works perfectly fine running from a windows form or service program, but not asp.net, not sure why.

I am working on a project that copies information from one excel sheet to anther. The original Sheets never have the same layout twice. So I created Text box for a person to in put the Start location, the end location, and column information. So the Plan is to use openfileDialog Browse button to get the file for the save location. Have the Text box populated by a user then use anther button to Open the file form the Browse (still Experimenting with the code to make this work) run the copy and past it into a standard layout of the new Excel sheet.
