View 7 RepliesI have a program that uses the Folder Browser Dialog... I am currently using it to GetFiles and list them in a list box... Currently, it searches directories and subdirectories to get files with a specific patter. I would like to either have the files show with their paths, or return a list of the directories to work with later on... Using the Get Directories method I beleive it creates an Array but I am unfamiliar with how to manage the list it returns. I am also having an issue when the user selects cancel the code continues running for the get files method and throws an error.

I have a textbox that is used to add directories to a system folder, each name seperated by a line. If the textbox has text value "Test " that is "Test" & controlchars.newline & "" (not like this is coded, it's typed in), then if i use loop for each part as string in textbox1.text.split(controlchars.newline), the first part will be "Test", the second part will say " " when i run step by step debugger, but if i try and block the addition of a folder by "if part = " "" it does not catch it. I've tried comparing part to "", " ", nothing (which is illogical anyways), and i even tried creating a boolean variable equal to the statment to try and catch it but the program insists that part is not " " even though the debugger tells me that is the value of part.
View 9 RepliesI'm trying to make a simple program to list a directory and sub directories on an ftp. I haven't found anything simple to do this other than a dll made for ftp commands. There are two problems with that dll, the first is I can't get recursing through directories to work right and it has a trial period. So I'm wondering if there is a simple pure VB way to simply list directories on an ftp. The dll I've played with is ChilkatDotNet2.dll.

I am trying to create a list of all virtual directories within an IIS site. However, I have found that trying to do this varies dramatically in the older versions of IIS. In IIS 7 this is a relatively easy task via C# but I can't seem to find a good method for doing this in IIS 6 and 5. I have tried using the System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry but that doesn't seem to give me the desired output. I am the server administrator so I'm open to using other things such as .vbs files that are built into IIS as well as writing my own code.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to Add the name of every folder in a directory to a combobox as a string to use in other code. Then I would like to truncate the last 3 characters off of the folder names.Example:
My main directory is C:Main
My sub folders are C:MainsubOne_bp
C:MainsubTwo_bp
C:MainsubThree_bp
I want a combo box with the following added durring run time.
subOne
subTwo
subThree
The following code will get me the folder names in the combo box, BUT it will not truncate the _bp off of the end and they are added as IO.DirectoryInfo that cannot be used as a string in other tasks.
Dim dir As String = "C:Main"
If (System.IO.Directory.Exists(dir)) Then
Dim di_dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(dir)

IIS7 running on Windows Server 2008 R2. Development environment is VWDE 2010.
I'm setting up a simple "machine status" page to monitor a server. I want to display the Drives on the machine, including mapped network drives and show their free space, etc.
I'm using System.IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives() to return a collection of DriveInfo objects. I then itterate that collection to display the relevant information.
The issue I'm having is that only local drives appear. (A:, C: and D:) No mapped drives "Network Locations" appear in the collection.
I'm thinking it has to do with the user account that's executing the code (if that makes any sense). So if the code is executing under the user "ASPNET" (or whatever it is) the drives would have to be mapped under that user. As it happens, I have the server set up like a workstation and it logs in automatically under the user with the mapped drives.
What I've done:
- I have set the Web Site's Anonymous Authentication user to that same user
- I have set the Identity of the Application Pool to which my web site is assigned to be that same user.
im been messing with media player in my app. Great little feature Problem: I have a list of directories in an array. when a user double clicks a treenode in my treeview, i use this directory and add the correct extension to play the file. It works fine but when i click the 2nd node the media player plays the 1st movie again. My question is do i have to clear the media players memory (URL) in order to play my 2nd file?

I have looked high and low and can't seem to find some sample code anywhere.I am looking for a snippet of code that will return all the folders in a Mailbox, not so much the drafts,nbox, outbox, sent items but a custom folder created by the user.Using MS Outlook 2007 ver.12.I know how the look for items in a folder but it only shows me the items in my Inbox.I need to show all the folders available and let the user select the folder to search in Or at this point I would settle for a way to set the defaultfolder. I can make this accept anything other than olFolderInbox?

A customer of mine wants to list all the files in a particular folder in excel. It seems like a fairly simple idea and i have tried one set of code but it takes forever to run (15-20 mins).
