How can I search the local disk for a file type and copy the full path to a new location. I am trying to write a backup program that will copy all pst files to the server while maitaining the structure, so if there is a pst located in "C:pstuserpersonal1.pst" it would create the folder "\serverpstuserpersonal1.pst" and copy the file to the correct location. I would need it to do this for each pst on the hard drive no matter the location. The user running the program will not have admin rights, so it will need to skip files it cannot access.

I downloaded a sample Project from the web. I opened the sample Project in Visual Basic 2005 Express Beta 2. After making a lot of modifications to the sample Project, I wanted to save my new project with its own different name, and in the usual directory where I have been creating other projects. I pressed Save All and accepted the default choice. Unfortunately, after pressing OK, I realized that I had saved over the original downloaded sample project, and had saved my modified project in a temp directory designed to receive downloads from the web.It's not a problem that I overwrote the original sample project, because I have already retrieved a new fresh copy from the web. Nor is it a problem that I gave it the name of the original project, because I was able to figure out how to rename the modified project by right-clicking in the Solution Explorer.
My problem is that I didn't want to save my modified project in the download temp directory. I want to save the Project (and all its associated sub-directories and files) in a directory of my own choosing (the same directory in which all my other created projects are saved). But now that I have chosen to save the project in an undesirable location, I want to re-save it somewhere else.For the life of me I can't see how to do this. The Save All command doesn't give me the choice of selecting the name or location for my project, it just updates my currently undesired location. The other two save-oriented commands under the File menu selection (Save and Save As) seem to be oriented to just saving the singular item (form code, dialog box code, module, etc) on which I am currently working. I can't find anything such as a "Save Project As" kind of command. And I don't want to try to cut and paste the whole directory, because I'm too novice to know whether I am moving everything properly with regards to what VB2005 needs to find and where it needs to find it.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to read and display a file using MapPath as follows :
Response.ContentType = "Application/pdf"
Dim FilePath As String = MapPath("../Document/123.pdf")
Response.WriteFile(FilePath)
Response.End()
This procedure will work fine and display in the browser. However, if I save the file to C:Document123.pdf, how can I access this file using relative path in MapPath function. Is there an option to access the file which is saved out of IIS server? I am using vb.net 2003.
I'm using acrobat that returns unix paths instead of windows path's. So im wondering if there is a way in vb.net to convert the path to windows path.
i tried using:
docs(i) = javaScriptObj.path().ToString.Replace("/", "").Substring(1)
position = docs(i).IndexOf("")

this only works on local files, but fails when im starting to use network drives.
I decided on a comma separated data file, saved as a text file. This is for data that will not change. After loading the data from the text file; then throughout the lifetime of the program the data can change. The data can then be saved back to a different binary file. The idea is to have a save state system going.Does anyone have a suggestion or is opposed to the idea. Is there a simpler way to organize something like this?

View 6 RepliesI have my datagridview being loaded from a Text File and then being saved to a text file as a comma separated file - the commas obviously separate the columns. However in some of the cells prior to saving, I have data that i have inputted over two lines by pressing shift + return.
E.g.
"SOLD
10/05/2012"
This saves fine, but obviously shows up in the text file as a line break, which then causes some issues when I choose to re open the info back into DGV. How I can code so that it saves as a line break within a cell, rather than a completely new line.
if i had say 10 labels with 10 textboxes how would i save all those labels accosiated with that text box as one text file
say example
label = name ---- textbox1
label2 =surname ---- textbox2
label3 address ---- textbox3
etc
so in the text file it saves it to look like this
name = hayden
surname = doh
address = johnston hwy
