Getting The "tree" Of A Folder - Set The "working Directory" To "C:\"?
Nov 9, 2009
I have a really quick question. I want to get the "tree" of C:\, I am thinking of starting cmd.exe with a few parameters - but how do I set the "working directory" to "C:\"? I guess I could try MSDN, but I doubt I'll find a clear answer there.
This code uses the application startup path as a working directory:
CODE:
I want to get the "tree" starting from C:\. Is it possible to give it two or more commands in a row? I was thinking of just cd..ing, I guess I could sendkeys to it too, but that would just be super inefficient. If there is a way to get the whole "tree" using VB.NET - that would work as well. I've never used a background worker before - is this a good situation to use it in?
BTW, here is my backup code. It's sad - I know.

I am loading the directories from my C drive into a treeview using the code below. It takes forever due to the number of folders. Is it possible to have this only populate down 1 level and then use a NodeMouseClick Event to drill down further, in the same treeView, if the user desires to do so? How would I amend this code to do this?

I have something that is working for the most part, but I'm having some trouble with restricted-access folders.
The code I'm using is as follows:
Imports System.IO
Public Class frmMain
Private Sub frmMain_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
For Each drive In DriveInfo.GetDrives
[Code] .....
For testing purposes I replaced this section...
If drive.IsReady Then
PopulateTree(drive.ToString, TreeView1.Nodes(i))
End If
...with this...
If drive.toString = "L:"
PopulateTree(drive.ToString, TreeView1.Nodes(i))
End If
And it worked fine for that drive. The L: is a removable USB drive by the way.
However, with the original code I get debug errors on some folders because they are access-restricted. Is there any way to ignore those particular folders and show the rest?

I am trying to write code to save (in a text file) a list of folders/files that are contained in a specified folder. I want the list to be formatted to illustrate the folder tree structure by indenting sub-folders and there related files according to their relationship to the base folder.
I found and incorporated a recursive function for listing file & folders. This works fine for generating the list, but I am having difficulty with code to determine the sub-directory level relative to the base folder. the code that I have included below sort of works.......The problem seeme to be when going from a folder that is multiple levels up? from the base to one that is only one level from the base. Refer to my sample output. This should not be as difficult as I seemed to have made it, but recursion kinda blows my mind.
Code:
' The following function call is in a button handler
GetFilesFolders(txtBaseFolder.Text)
Public Sub GetFilesFolders(ByVal path As String)

This problem has been doing my head in all day and wouldn't mind a bit of advice. Basically I have a table in my db called tblTree which looks a bit like this :
TreeId, ParentId
1 0
2 0
3 2
Each row represent a folder.The TreeId is a unique Primary Key.The ParentId refers to the folder this belongs in so in the above example TreeId 3 is a folder created in the the folder represented by TreeId 2.The 0 in ParentId represents the root.How in Gods name am i supposed to create a folder structure using this table?

I am working in VB2008. I don't know what process is started when a user double clicks on a folder to display its contents. I am working on an application where I store paths to various folders in a database that is displayed in a treeview. I would like to be able to select a node in my tree and then pass the path to the associated folder to the application which can display the contents of the folder. I need to know the name of the application or process that I am trying to startup to display my folder contents.

I am not the original author of this software project and the code is poorly documented. I am mainly a Java/C++ developer.The program displays the tree structure and allows files and folder to be selected. The program is getting errors with FileSystemTreeView when trying to return nodes on a system with a reserved partition.Here is what is happening: tree.SelectedNode = tree.Nodes(0) 'returns error with system reserved partition.calling, GetDriveList() will properly return all the drive letters - and not throw an error. Only when trying to get a tree.Node() or tree.load() is the error occurring.

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory
Application.StartupPath (this one doesn't work for me, missing a library?) I am using it to save a file, for argument sake, "test.txt"

I'm trying to emulate the possiblitys of what windows does to try and locate a find and I'm kind of stuck on 2. The current directory for the parent process. I'm guessing if you execute it from cmd.exe it would check c:windowssystem32 folder cause that would be the parent process and that is its folder, but if you double clicked, seems to set the working directory to the path where the exe is located.

I found the following example of how to print a root directory on the net
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim Current As String
Dim Root As String
Current = Directory.getCurrentDirectory()
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Current)
Root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("")
Console.WriteLine("Current directory {0}", Current)
Console.WriteLine("Root directory {0}", Root)
End Sub
However it just causes the error "name directory not declared"

I had originally saved the project I was working on to my desktop, but now I have moved the folder to another location on my hard drive (didn't want it on my desktop anymore).
But since I've moved it I get the message:
The working directory does not exist: 'C:old folder locationResources'.
Is there a simple way to update my project to the new folder location?

I've been working on some code to rename files and have being doing so by copying them to the same location under a different name and then removing the original. When I do this for files I use the code ...
Dim file As New System.IO.FileInfo(lstFiles.SelectedItem.ToString)
Dim strNewFile As String
Dim strRename As String
Dim strMask As String = ""
[code]....
This will obviously not work as it will try to copy the folder into itself which is not allowed.
