I have a folder with .txt files in it. How can I make my menuitem get those .txt files and put the filenames in the menuitem, so that it creates a list of all .txt files in that folder. So when I put a .txt in the folder the program automatically creates the menu item.

All I am trying to do is write a simple program that will let me choose a directory and get a listing of all files in that directory and its sub-directories and show it in a RichTextBox. I got as far as being able to select the directory but when I click "OK" I get "access to c:documents and settingsstevedesktopmp3 is denied".The code I am using is listed below.

I have created my own file system that is used for heavily encrypting all files on the drive. It has to use up to 7 partitions though. What I need it to do is add all partitions/directorys/files to a treeview. Something like this:
for each partition as safTfiles.partitions.partition in drive
add_partition()
for each folder as safTfiles.folders.folder in partition
add_folder_to_partition
[code].....
so it need to be able to click on a treeview node and expand, showing all subdirectorys and files.
I need to write a process which filters out 'old/dead' job files from a directory (actually two directories). This process needs to 'read' a number pattern (in a fixed position) off the filenames (for which there will almost certainly be duplicates), and having then 'got a list' of unique number patterns, give these to a function (which I already have) which will give a boolean, from which I can decide to either delete those files whose name contain this particular number pattern or not - this is intended to be run each night (windows task scheduler). Example directory content is:

I'm having a problem when I list .rar-files into a ListBox. I can list .rar-files OK from subdirectories, but what I want to determine if the file is actually the first part of .rar-archive. The new .rar-format packs files like:
Archive.part01.rar
Archive.part02.rar
Archive.part03.rar
...
So I have no idea when I'm listing the first part of the archive or actually listing the other parts.

View 2 RepliesI would like to know if there are some in built functions for the scenario that is described below :
The input is the path of a parent folder. Wat the function must do is , it should list out all the .zip files inside that parent folder.The parent folder can contain any number of subfolders, and the same applies to the subfolders too ..
VB version is not a barricade. Any of the versions VB6 or VS2005 can do. Also is there any other alternative way if there are no inbuilt functions as such.

I am very much a beginner with VB. I want to create a simple menu or switchboard which will allow me to run one of several small exe files by clicking an appropriate button. The form and the buttons are OK, and I can get the exe files to run with code like:
Process.Start("C:Documents and Settings(myName)My DocumentsVisual Studio 2010ProjectsMathematicsProgram1.exe")
However I want the final application to be portable, i.e. not dependent on the long path name as above. My intention is that the final application and the exe files ie Program1.exe, Program2.exe, etc should all reside in the same directory so that the application can be run from a CD.

How do I make a menu item on a menu strip link to another windows form (like a menu item that links to an about page already created in the project). I know that every coder knows how to do this, but i've read most of the instructions in the world for Visual Basic coding, but can't find ANYTHING I know coding fairly well, so I can modify it, but I can't create it my self.
View 4 RepliesI have combed these forums and the 'net and can't find an answer to my specific problem. My menu strip disappeared (after deleting a small secondary form within my project). I therefore created a new strip and while recreating the menu items realized that the original menu items are still present, showing in my properties list. I have checked my design file as well and the original menu strip is definitely gone but the original menu items are there. I don't have many items so I would have no problem just deleting the original ones but I can't see them to delete them! I have checked and they are all set to visible. I have also moved everything on my form to see if it is behind anything else.
