Good Way To Find Duplicate Files?
Apr 1, 2010
I don't know enough about VB.Net (2008, Express Edition) yet, so I wanted to ask if there were a better way to find files with different names but the same contents, ie. duplicates.In the following code, I use GetFiles() to retrieve all the files in a given directory, and for each file, use MD5 to hash its contents, check if this value already lives in a dictionary: If yes, it's a duplicate and I'll delete it; If not, I add this filename/hashvalue into the dictionary for later:[code]Is this a good way to solve the issue of finding duplicates, or is there a better way I should know about?

I'm a Coldfusion Web Developer and I'm finding that in my local area, work for CF Devs has become extremely scarce.There were a handful of companies that were Coldfusion houses a few years ago and it appears most of them have moved away from CF development.I'm looking to expand my skillset to improve my employment outlook, and it appears that many of the web development positions that are available to me now are focused around .NET web development.The last time i took a look at .NET as a web development platform was way back during 2.0; where I found it to be poorly organized and extremely unfocused. Apparently somewhere along the line I missed the boat because that's where about 90% of the web development jobs in my area are now. I've done some searching on google to see if I can find a tutorial, something that's akin to hand-holding, and have come back dissapointed.So I'm turning to the SO community to ask for links and resources that might help better explain how .NET development works in a web development capacity, and for links to these resources so I can begin boning up my knowledge and start writing practice applications.

I found a lot of information about how to make a database factory or how to deal with connection pooling but i nowhere found a complete solution.I have always used my own solutions, but they're not complete i think or could be improved.Are there some good designed classes any of you use that i can find on the net?

It seems difficult to find good information on working with bitmaps. Specifically I am looking for .NET info on getting tile graphics to the screen. What I know so far is this. I need a picturebox for the display. I need a second picture box for a back buffer and then I need a third picturebox for the tiles that I would copy to the back buffer which then gets flipped to the screen.I need this to be done with .net controls and classes or functions and etc. If anyone has good information on this, please let me know. I am using visual basic 2008 express edition.

1 A 1 A1 ABC
2 B 2 B2 XYZ
I want to replace second Cell ID to Cell ID_2.
Cell Site Cell ID Cell ID_2 Site Detail
1 A 1 A1 ABC

I don't know what I may have clicked on but, in Solution Explorer under My Project, there are now duplicates of Application.Designer.vb under Application.myapp. One is named Application.Designer.vb and the other is named Application1.Designer.vb. If I comment out the code on one of them them build works without errors.
However, if I delete one of them, I get a warning "The custom tool Application.Designer.vb failed while processing the file 'My Project.Application.myapp." but it still builds. If I click on the warning, a messsage window appears with "The last attempt to run the custom tool 'My Project.Application.myapp' failed. Would you like to re-run the custom tool?" If I click NO, the program builds. If I click YES, it adds the duplicate Application1.Designer.vb again the the errors are back.how to eliminate the errors and the warning?

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

I have a VB.NET project in Visual Studio 2008 that I created a specialized addin for. The addin prompts the user to select a database table, takes a template form class's files, copies them to another directory within the project, and renames the form class within the copied files. It then opens the new form and adds controls to it based on the fields in the database table.
The copying of the template form causes the background compiler to give 'duplicate member' errors, such as "Private Sub InitializeComponents(...) has multiple definitions with identical signatures," even though I renamed the files of the new form and the class name within them. Sometimes these errors go away before the new form is opened, but when they stick around the new form doesn't open correctly, and it throws an error instead. I implemented some code to wait until there are zero errors in the error list before trying to open the new form. This has helped sometimes, but for some reason sometimes the errors don't go away at all until the addin is closed.
How to copy the template form and rename the copy without the background compiler ever noticing duplicate members. If that's not possible, then perhaps someone has an alternative?
Here is my code that copies and renames the template form:
Private Sub CreateDataForm(ByVal tableName As String, ByVal displayName As String) ', ByVal subDataForms As IList(Of Object))
Try
Dim dataFormClassName As String = "frm" & MakeValidName(displayName)
Dim dataFormFileName As String = dataFormClassName & cVBSuffix

I have come up against another brick wall I have a large number of .csv files which are located within subdirectories of lets say the "c:emp" directory. What I need to do is find all of these csv files, open them individually, perform an operation on each and then close each one.
What I am struggling with is the part where I find all of these csv files. What I would ideally like to do is search through each of the subdirectories, return a filename (including complete path) as a string which I can then use in my code to open the files individually and perform the operations.

I've created a button and textbox which allows me to do an openfiledialog and select multiple files. The problem is, after selecting multiple files, when I run the program it doesn't run through all files selected, just the first file. I know I'm missing an integral part of code here, but not sure what it is.
For testing purposes I've created similar code and output to a textbox shown below. I would expect that each file selected by multiselect would appear in the textbox provided.
Dim OFD As New OpenFileDialog
OFD.Title = "OFD"
OFD.InitialDirectory = "C:"

I'm trying to find a good strategy to access data files, image files, etc., that I want to distribute in my VB.NET deployment. The challenge I'm having is to find a place to put the files, and a means for the program to find them, regardless of whether the program is running in the Visual Studio environment as a debug build or release build, or running as an installed application.I've considered using AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory to find the location of the EXE file, then using relative paths to that folder. However, that approach depends on the directory hierarchy imposed by the Visual Studio tools when it separates the binaries of debug and release builds. Both builds would have to navigate upward to reach a common root folder, and the path traversal algorithm must work for the deployed EXE file too.

I'm making a Cleaner for my PC that could delete all files with a specific name.So I have all the names in a .txt file, like:
A

D
Now I need somekind of function that would search in a directory ( The user gives the dir. in a textbox ), and its important that it would also search in all sub folders and see if there is a match to any of the names in the .txt file. And it shall not care about in what format the file is. It can be in .exe , .txt or any format.

I need to find a good control for VB.Net to upload big files to an FTP server:
Can upload files up to 10GB
Uses passive mode
Provides feedback during upload, to make sure it's going OK
Can cancel and resume
Up to two concurrent connections
I read about WebClient + NetworkCredential, but it doesn't seem to provide progress infos. There are also the FTPWebRequest/FTPWebResponse classes from WebRequest/WebResponse, as well as WebClient.UploadFileAsync.
