FileStream And SearchOption.AllDirectories And SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly?
May 9, 2011
I am having a problem with my application which I recently created. The application was designed to search for files either recursively or non recursively for files with certain attributes ie. file size, date created, etc. The application works (well sort of)....
I currently have the application creating a tmp file using IO.filestream and IO.FileMode.Create and then I'm using StreamWriter to write the names of all the files that are found with the matching attributes to the tmp file that was created in the tmp directory. What I have found is this:
If the parameter to do a search recursive is True then the names of the files through the directory tree are successfully written to the tmp file and all is well however if the base path specified does not contain any sub directories and searchoption.alldirectories is used I cannot get any of the files names who match the search criteria to be written to the temp file. If I add a console.writeline(sfile) just above the call to write to the temp file the names are written to the console successfuly (just like they should be to the temp file).
If I choose not to do a recursive search and specify using SearchOption.AllDirectories then I see a similar problem...none of the files in the top level directory that meet the search criteria are written to the tmp file like I'm telling them to. Again if I add a console.writeline just before the call to write to the temp file the names of all the files in the top level directory are written to the console successfully.
I cannot figure this one out...I am stepping through the code with the debugger and based on what I'm seeing I should not be having this problem. I know the logic is correct because I can write it out to the console correctly...

I'm getting an access denied error when I run this code:
[code]...
If I change SearchOption.AllDirectories to SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly then the code executes without any errors and the files in the top Directory are displayed. Apparently there is an access method that I need to set but I'm not sure how to implement it into the existing code.

im having some issues with getfiles, and i cant seem to pin point the cause, heres the issue:Im scanning a folder which has a mix of file types (.7z, .rar, .bin) and for each file im checking a dat file to see if that file (via the crc32) is listed in the dat. Pretty simple, but my code is randomly hit/missing heres what i have around my vb For Each strFile As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(ComboBox1.Text, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)Next ComboBox1 .Text is a folder path for example 'C: est'
And inside of that i hae the crc32 code, the crc 32 code works great, the issue is with the above so no need to post lots of crc32 code. Now the problem im having is say i scan a folder with 10 files, lets say 5 7z's and 5 .bin's, sometimes the scan will scan all 10 files sometimes only 5 7z's and 1.bin, sometimes no .bins, sometimes only the .bins.If i put the .bins in a folder on there own and scan it will scan them all, same with the 7z's, so why is it not working when there all in the same folder?EDIT: I think the error is here 'SearchOption.AllDirectories' but i dont understand how to fix it, if i put all files into the root of the folder it will scan all of them, but i wanted to be able to scan the files in the subfolders to hence the SearchOption.All Directories, but it seem to be failing

When I have a directory setup with a subdirectory and both the top directory and sub directory have files in them I get a list of all the files with no directory info. That's OK, but I need to restore them to another location with the same directory structure in place. I'm essentially copying all files in a directory and it's subs to another location. The problem is the sub directory info is not in the files list so everything goes into the main directory. How do I get around this or can I? Here is what I'm using now.
I have a directory, NewProg in Program Files and a sub directory under it called Sub.
files=dir.getfiles("C:Program FilesNewProg",searchoption.alldirectories)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile("C:Program FilesNewProg" & File.Name, "C:NewProg" & File.Name,True)The Sub directory is not created and even when it is there, it always comes up empty with all it's files copied into the main NewProg.

The goal is to write data to a SQL Server 2008 FILESTREAM file using VB.Net. An "Access Denied" message occurs when creating a FileStream object in the code(see red underlined code below). SQL Server 2008 is configured to "Allow remote clients to have streaming access to FILESTREM data" along with "Enable FILESTREAM for Transaction-SQL access"... What configuration setting is missing and causing the "Access Denied" message? Figure 1.) Code used to stream data to SQL Server managed file

I am attempting to read specific lines of GIANT text files (> 150 MB) with hundreds of thousands of lines. The files are contained on an FTP site. I can successfully open the files using FTPwebrequest and streamreader but to get to a specific line using streamreader, you have to read every line before it. Obviously this takes a lot of time when you need to get to the millionth line.
A much faster way, I think, would be to use filestream and the filestream.position function. However, I'm not sure how to open a file as a filestream from FTP. I have tried:
Dim ftpaddress as string = "ftp://####@ftp.textfile.asc+"
Dim fileStream1 As New FileStream(ftpaddress, IO.FileMode.Open, IO.FileAccess.Read)

I'm making a type of download manager which downloads parts of a file using HTTPREQUEST.addrange. The parts download without a problem and currently I use 5 instances of the same class to download the parts simultaneously each one downloading a different section of the file. Now my problem is that I don't want to save each part as a file then merge them later, I want to use a singular filestream and append everything asynchronously. In the code below I attempted to use the seek method but it feels like it changes the seek for all of the other parts as well.

I am trying to read in a file and store the byte position of each line read so that I can write out to another file the records in any order that I want. I am doing more manipulation of the lines, hence why I need the line position from the original file, but for simplicity sake, I am just including code to display the problem I am encountering. When I read in the file, I am getting the correct file position, but when I write out the lines, every 1024 characters it is re-writing whatever current line it is on. I am assume there is some buffer that is coming into play that I am not familiar with,

VB.NET application which allows user to split a file in smaller files. However the stand alone executable of the application,had a permission problem using filestream to read a file without an OutOfMemory exception, while selecting to split locatein certain directories like "C:".To solve the problem i checked My Project window and the "Security" tab, and i tried checking the checkbox: "Enable ClickOnce Security Setting" and selecting "fulltrust application". This added to my app.manifest these lines of code:
<applicationRequestMinimum>
<defaultAssemblyRequest permissionSetReference="Custom" />
<PermissionSet class="System.Security.PermissionSet" version="1" Unrestricted="true"

I am using BinaryFormatters (System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter) and FileStreams (System.IO.FileStream) to perform simple Open, Save, and Save As commands. I am using a separate FileStream and BinaryFormatter in each method.
My issue is that there is a delay for between four and ten or so seconds after performing any of those abilities before you can perform any other of them. Apparently the file is open in "another process", which (my guess) is the FileStream.Let's say I save and close a file in my app. I then go File > Open and select the same file and go to open it. I get that error returned.This isn't really an issue with the code, it's more me asking what the reasons are for why this is happening. What would be a way to work around this?

I have a filestream, and I want to save a file from that filestream? Like there are bytes in that file stream, and from those I want a "file.exe" to automatically appear on my desktop.
I'm using a code snippet, and I think this is the important part:
Dim fstr As New FileStream("file.exe", FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write)
fstr.Write(validArg1, validArg2, validArg3)
fstr.Close()
Do I have to use a for loop? Or is there a function like this:
IO.File.WriteAllBytes(myPath, fstr.AllBytes)

I am trying to build a resource file for a website basically jamming all the images into a compressed file that is then unpacked on the output buffers to the client. my question is in vb2005 can a filestream be multi threaded if you know the size of the converted file, ala like a bit torrent and work on pieces of the filestream ( the individual files in this case) and add them to the resource filestream when they are done instead of one at a time?

I'm trying to write a file in chunks in a loop but the filestream.write just causes the sub to end the second time round but the first chunk it written and the savefiledialog remains?
edit: I was using an offset which I shouldn't have so now it writes the file just fine but the savefiledialog doesn't close itself?

Here's the catch - for the program I'm making I would like to avoid creating a copy of the file in its totally unencrypted state (I'm using a modified, quick-and-dirty XOR cipher for that. It's secure enough for my purposes and faster than the stronger encryption). Anyhow, what I would like to do is read a block of data, de/encrypt it (in memory) and then write the changed bytes to the same location they previously would have been within the file.
I've found the problem a little outside my programming abilities, so I was wondering if anybody had a pre-made solution, links to appropriate examples, or an all out explanation.

I have trouble accessing filestream via SqlFileStream. Sql server and IIS7 are on different servers, remote access to Filestream is enabled. Workgroup for both servers is the same.I've tried everything, including opening user with identical username/passwords on both servers. Didn't work. Dim sqlFileStream As New SqlTypes.SqlFileStream(filePath, txContext, IO.FileAccess.Read)I have both filePath and context.However, when I open server via explorer logged on locally as Administrator, I also get access denied if I try to acesss this share.Can permissions for this share be edited at all?

I have a button on form 1. When the button is clicked, form 2 pops up. Form 2 also has a button.
Code for form 1:
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim textfile As New FileStream("textfile1.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
Dim txtfilewriter As New StreamWriter(textfile)
[Code] .....
Now, as you see, on the form 1 load event, the streamwriter writes "Physics" to the text file. When the button on form 2 is clicked, the streamwriter writes "English" to the same file. As an end result, I expected BOTH "Physics" and "English" to be in the text file but the final result is only "English" in the text file. What do I have to do so that the textfile continuously stores these lines?
