I have an app that reads a directory to get the filenames in a directory for each File in Directory(process file) next file. I want to know if the file size makes a difference to the time it takes to get the filenames.eg if a folder contains 10,000 photos of 1 megapixel and another has a folder of 10,000 photos of 8 megapixels will it take the same time.
View 1 RepliesI'm going to create some command line tools that make use of some large library DLL's. For security reasons I plan to embed the DLL's in the command line's EXE. Example:Suppose the CL's (command line tool) functionality is to just copy a file from A to B. The procedure to do this is included in a 100MB library DLL. If I would just take out the lines of code from the DLL and paste them in the CL's code then the CL would only be 10Kb.But I don't want to do that, so I embed the full library in the CL's EXE, which will make it 101MB in size.I once read somewhere (cannot remember where) that Windows would only use the part of the EXE that's actually used. So if that's true then it shouldn't matter if the EXE size is 10Kb, 100MB or 1GB.I own the code of the DLL, so if the best solution is to not include the whole DLL but just only link to or include those code files, of the DLL project, that are used by the CL then I will go that way.will the 10Kb CL run faster and consume less memory than the 101MB CL?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to find an easy to create a hierarchical directory structure that I can put in a TreeView, with two caveats:
1) The file list is from a file
2) The paths are un *nix format (e.g. /dir/dir/file rather than c:dirdirfile)
I found this ([URL]) which would do what I want...if not for the two caveats above. I can go through the process of tokenizing the paths and start creating linked lists of objects for a directory structure, but before I do that I'd like to find out if anything else is available...
Where to begin trying to research building a program that can inventory a program and then build a spreadsheet where I can name tabs based on directory names and then color them according to their level in the directory tree. The number of directories and/or total number of files shouldn't be a limiting factor if possible. I would also like all subdirectories to be after the tab for their parent directory.

I'm working on a Win 7, Office 2010, and VB 2010 Express machine. The purpose of this is to assist with our data retention policy at my company. I want to split up directories on the tabs to make it easier to search and then employee's can go into certain directories to make files they used for a project so those can get archived and the unused files can be deleted.
I have a ftp download in a background session that updates to a progressbar, file download takes about 2 minutes and it works great, gives me the length that has been downloaded, total size, and the bytes remaining.I thought it would be cool to have the speed show as well but not sure I have all the info to work with, or how exactly to do it. This is my loop, and what I do have works fine just want to have the speed show as well if possible:[code]

I need to write a process which filters out 'old/dead' job files from a directory (actually two directories). This process needs to 'read' a number pattern (in a fixed position) off the filenames (for which there will almost certainly be duplicates), and having then 'got a list' of unique number patterns, give these to a function (which I already have) which will give a boolean, from which I can decide to either delete those files whose name contain this particular number pattern or not - this is intended to be run each night (windows task scheduler). Example directory content is:

I have a TreeView in my form which suffers from slow build-time (i.e. it takes forever to load as it drills down into all subdirectories).
