I am developing an application that Monitors a specific folder for file changes such as modify deletion, update, etc. The only problem I have is , the application doesn't fire up File events.
Here is the code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1
[CODE].............................
Is there a way to detect if a file is being deleted,
1) Using the Del key
2) Using the Shift+Del keys
3) Using the above keys from a remote computer through a shared folder
And instead of deleting move it to another folder in the same computer. Basically when a user tries to delete a file or folder it should move it to a specified folder instead of deleting it.
I have downloaded 5 apps so far to get an idea on watching a dir for a file created, but every app i run i get an error like this
View 7 RepliesI created a VB.NET 4.0 program that uses the FileSystemWatcher class to monitor a file for changes. I have one user who is on a Mac running a Windows virtualization. Here is her description of her setup (p.s. Revit is not my program, mine is suplementary to Revit and works with the keynote file mentioned):
I work on an iMac (Snow Leopard,) and have Revit 2012 installed in a Boot Camp partition of Windows 7, which I then run through a Parallels 6 window. I used to run Revit just through Parallels, sans Boot Camp, but this seems to work better (faster.) I do store my Revit files in the Mac OS, but the keynote file is in Windows 7. Obviously this is a non-standard setup, but it is causing the FileSystemWatcher to fail. Is anyone familiar with this or know why it's failing or if it can be fixed?
I am using FileSystemWatcher in order renaming files within a Watched directory.The problem occurs if the number of files copied simultaneously to the watched directory exceeds the number of 50...The rename event is fired successfully for the first 50 files, but after that nothing happens?

It seems like it should be pretty simple, I take in a file name as a parameter, create a new name for it, delete it, then try to copy it back from an older version of the same file, and update the connection string. However, it continually tells me that "The file 'filenamehere' already exists." If I set overwrite to true then it goes through just fine, except it doesn't actually copy the file. Obviously I also check the folder, and the file does in fact Not exist...I've also checked all the file paths and what-not, they are all accurate.

I found one solution that , if change user rights manually then this problem solved.Follow these step to change your account settings.Control Panel-->User Accounts and Family Safety-->User Accounts-->Change User Account Control settings-->Never notify(Set tab to never notify).After this change need to restart system.Now can make all changes like windows XP into Windows 7.can also make changes into program files.
Its working fine, but need to make these changes manually in OS.but its not efficent solution. So if any one knows how can make these changes by coding that will nice.

In a solution with multiple projects, one project that compiles to a .exe and a .dll has hitherto been successfully included in the Application Folder list and worked fine. After a recent revision to that project I deleted the .exe reference in the Application Folder list to remove both files prior to using Add > File to relist the new versions, but somehow although the .exe has gone the .dll remains in the listing and I now can't get rid of it - the right-click Delete function is disabled, and I can't see another way to remove this orphan file reference. Also if I now Add > File and point to the new .exe to bring it into the File System Application Folder list, after a couple of seconds the whole VS environment closes without an error message and I have to open VS again to restart.
Does anyone know how to unscramble this - presumably by editing something to remove the orphan .dll from the list? I use VS-2010 but this solution was imported and updated from VS-2005 some months ago, and since then has been fine.
I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for
creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.

I'm stuck in the cookiew folder since "index.dat" doesn't delete and it causes the form to crash.
I have the following code used to enter the name of a text file and then display it in a richtextbox.

View 2 RepliesI want to copy files with a specific extension (for example .config or .exe). It should create a structure of nested directories, and then insert each file into a specified place in the directory hierarchy. Ideally I would just specify a parent directory for each file and a parent directory for each directory and it would build it.
I need any existing utility or batch file or power-shell script or C#/VB .Net code to perform this activity.
