I created a background thread that constantly scans a specified folder for any .xls files that are created or modified. These files come from a vba macro in outlook that will automatically save the attachments of the mails in the this folder. This will update the modified date/time, or at least it seems to.
For Each fi In aryFi
fidate = System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(path & fi.ToString)
fidate1 = System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(path & fi.ToString)
[code]....
Everytime I check to the code, the fidate and fidate1 variables are indeed the correct dates/times of the file it's currently checking. It almost never gets inside the elseif block at runtime though.
I have a number of files in a folder, I need to get the last modified date. So I used FDate = IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(FName) Works fine with some files, but on others, I get a date of 1/1/1601. But when I check the files in Windows Explorer, all the dates look normal (recent). So, I'm gessing there are multiple files dates stored in the file system, and the ones dotnet is seeing are not the ones windows is seeing. How can I get exactly the date which appears as "date modified" in a file explorer window? I tried some vb6 api stuff but that doesn't seem to work in dotnet.
I have a files list which contain the directory of file. I want to know file creation date of that files. I used fileInof.CreationTime. But It is not displayed creation date. How I can know about this.
I'm using VB.net 2003 Standard Edition, and I'm trying to retrieve the file modified date. I've created a System.IO.FileInfo object, and have collected info from the three methods: CreationTime, LastAccessTime, and LastWriteTime, but they aren't giving me the same data as XP Windows Explorer is.In Explorer, there is a Date Modified field (currently reading 2008 on the file in question), but using the FileInfo methods they return 2007, 2009, 2009.Is there another IO object I can use to get this 'modified' date?
I'm trying to save a files save date, modify that file and then restore the file back to it's original date. I can't get it to work, I've tried it several ways and cannot get it to work.
be able to check if an application i am writing has been run on a week by week basis. i have created a button that when pressed creates a text file with nothing in it, i can read back the date it was created which also gives me the time which i dont need, i then need to compare the date the file was created to see if it is older than 6 days if so delete the file. how can i check to see if a creation date is older than six days???
I have an ftp routine which gets various files from a server and puts them on a client PC.My problem is it loses the original Last Modified Date on the client PC. I can get the last datetime modified from the server but don't know how to assign this to the file on the client PC. Is there away to alter the last modified datetime?
I have found many pages referring to having the date be part of a txt file being created, but not like the way I need. Having said that, this is what I've got.. [code] I read a page on working with txt files and learned what I could from it. It said to use the method in the beginning of my code for creating the file. It works great, but I would like to have a new file name everday, hence the date being integrated. So even if program was running, when midnight hits, a new txt file is created and new entries are written to that file. But I can't even get the date to be put in there. Everytime I try to make this work by using methods I read about in other pages, I get a syntax error, or a warning saying an end of statement is expected. I'm not sure those methods are compatible with what I've already got going.I was actually trying to store these values in a database, and I got real close I think, but I couldn't get any help to fix my problem so I'm trying to write to daily txt files instead. url....
I have a page which lists all the files in a particular folder (all PDFs), using a data-table and gridview. I'm currently sorting this table by the filename (by using a dataview), which isn't that helpful, and I want the gridview of files sorted by the file created or file modified date (as recorded in Windows). If that's not possible, a second option would be to extract the date from the file name string (no problem doing that), and sort the dataview/datatable or gridview based on that.
how I can display the date a file was last modified on a web form. I'm working in C#. I was able to do this in classic ASP with the following code, which I had in an include file:
dim bs, b set bs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") set b=bs.GetFile(Server.MapPath("/directory/schedule.asp"))
I'm trying to create a program with VS2008 that will:
Allow me to copy 30 newest .txt files from a folder by looking at date modified. This can be hardcoded or a text box that prompts the user for how many days of files to pull.
I'm currently viewing files in a specific directory and then displaying them in the first column of a Listview. I want to be able to display the last modified date and time in the second column. I've tried Google, but I haven't had much luck. I'll post the code that I'm using at the moment, below.
I am using this to loop through a directory and grab the last modified date for all of the files. How I do find the last or most recent modified date?
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal er As EventArgs) Dim info As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("C:InetpubwwwrootG269_FocusUploads") Dim files As FileInfo() files = info.GetFiles("*.pdf")
I am trying to pull the modified date of one file in a folder through a SSIS script. I tried doing this through the system.IO namespace as it contains the GetFileName method. This isn't working & I was wondering if there was a name space that contained the modified date method for a file if I specified the path to the filename. I am looking to return the modified date variable in whichever way this may be possible.
What is the easiest way to automatically fill a datetime column in an SQL data table with the date the row was created? Using SQL Server 2005 if that matters.
EDIT: I've tried using GETDATE() for default and that works for an INSERT Query but not when the TableAdapter adds the row.
I'm trying to pull the creation date of all the files (1000+) in a folder on a local server to list in an excel file. I've been trying to use FileSystemInfo for this, but it doesn't seem to work to get the creation date of MULTIPLE files because it doesn't allow me to use wildcard characters to read all (not even sure if that's what I'll need to do).
I would like to implement into my program a version query of the executable and I figured the easiest way would be having a check on the date of the executable. So how can I check the creation date of the executable that is currently running (from the program itself that is)?In short - double click on .exe and it will tell the date of its creation
I've written a loading program that writes text files to our database. The text files are dumped by another system every 2 hours onto on a shared network drive at my work. Here's the problem though - the files don't have a date/time stamp within them. I've been getting the date for each file from the creation date. That works okay, but when I've written loading programs in the past, I like to move the loaded files into a folder called "Loaded Files". That way, I can quickly see visually how many files I've loaded vs how many have not be loaded.
The problem this time, is that if I were to move the file into another folder, the creation date changes...a lesson I learned when I copied all of the files into a directory on my C: for testing. They all had the same date/time stamp!My question is, what's the best way to handle this? I don't want to move the files after loading them if it alters their creation date. I mean, what if I have to go back and load one for some reason, the date will be lost forever. I also don't want to write something into the software that has to check a file each time before loading it to the database.
I have created installer from Visual Studio Package and Deployment, but after successful installation, the installer files (like dlls, images and all supporting files) modified date or even creation date has been changed and all have the same date depends on the date of installation. Is there a way I can preserve or maintain it's original creation/modified date?
I need some help in the creation of a program to generate a security code based on the current date. I need to create something that first multiplies the MMDDYY (ie X=MM * DD * YY) then also adds the MMDDYY then finds the remainder and then multiplies but a specified number. I would like to create a small program that sits in the system tray with this code displayed. The code will always need to be 6 characters, so I might need to pad it with zeros. It has been years since I took basic VB, and I am really rusty.
I have read about Network.Downloadfile and I think I understand it! I want to know if there is an easy way to test a files date modified before downloading it. I have a lot of files in the folder. I really want to "sync" the folder. I don't want to copy every file every time I want to only download the file if I don't have the file in the destination location or if I have an Old copy.
I am creating a booking system, I have got it all working so that a user can select a date and a time and book, there are no restrictions so 100 people could book the same date and time.
My lecturer suggested to me that to make it so that just one person can book one time on one day the user will select a date and then the page will re-load with the times selector only showing the times which are available on this date.
I have done some tutorial work similar to this, however a little more basic showing the available slots using an except operation for example allavailableslots except bookedslots, but there was no restriction on dates, so it would just show all the times which havent been booked yet full stop. I think I will use an if statement but I am not too sure, dont really know where to start...
im struggling a bit and was wondering if anyone can help. Im looking to compair 2 sets of datess and times, for examp2 textbox1 27/02/1980 23:00 and text box 2 having the real time date and time. But instead off having years days hours mins and seconds i want to display how many seconds has passed between the two date and times. Can anyone show me how this is done as i have no clue where to start.
I have to display the available times in a dropdownlist called "DDL_avalTime" based on the date selected in a ASP calendar.
How the program works is that when a User clicks a date form the caldendar, it checks the SQL database. In this case the table that I'm retrieving it from is "trainerbookings" from the column "trainingDateTime". The data type for this column is datetime.[code]...
