I am wanting to retrieve all the files in some directories. Here is my original code:
Private Function Search(path As String, Recursive As Boolean) As Boolean
Dim dirInfo As New IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fileObject As FileSystemInfo
If Recursive = True Then
For Each fileObject In dirInfo.GetFileSystemInfos()
[Code] .....
This code works well, yet it returns some directories and I am wanting to only return files. I tried this code:
Private Sub Search(ByVal path As String, ByVal Recursive As Boolean)
if not Directory.Exists(path) then Exit Sub
Dim initDirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(path)
For Each oFileInfo In initDirInfo.GetFiles
[Code] .....
However, I get the following error:
Access to the path 'C:UsersSimonAppDataLocalApplication Data' is denied.
I have added this module to get it working:
Imports System.Security.Principal
Module VistaSecurity
'Declare API
[Code] .....
Dim fileList As Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(FolderDialog1.SelectedPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly) For Each topLvlFile As String In fileList
[code]....
The above code reads all the files & directories in a selected path. It ignores any hidden folders, like it suppose to. Except it doesn't ignore folders inside of the hidden folders that it finds & I need it to.I can't quite wrap my head around how to make it ignore all folders & files inside of a hidden folder that it find.
I need a code. How i can to verify if files of txt exist ? I have a txt file with a directory on each line and I want to verify for all of them. Example:
I have an issue with avoiding this exception and trying to continue on with my code.im trying to search directories for a file. this is my code

[Code]...
It's the files located in the C:System Volume Information Directory.How can i avoid the exception but continue on. I can't put a if then statement around the variable declaration. because then i can't use the variable. And catching the exception just causes my routine to stop.

Below (Example 2) is working code for populating a treeview with directories only down to 1 level. Note just directores are added- No files. I want to add a Listview control beside my treeview and have the Listview populated with the "files" from the selected node in the treeview. This would fire off the NodeMouseClick event of the treeView. I have used Example 1 (NodeMouseClick) before with other code that I have. However, I cannot get the code to work with the Example 2 code below
how to change the Example 1 code to work with Example 2?
Example 1 '************************************************ Private Sub treeView1_NodeMouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, _ ByVal e As TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) _
i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String() Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path) Dim fi As FileInfo
[code]......
However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.
I have a website (coded in vb.net) with an "admin" section (the admin section being a folder in the actual site)... So in every page of the site I'm using my own custom class as the page base (which has been set in the web.config file) but I want to inherit from different class for the files in the "admin" folder... Is there any way to inherit different classes for pages in different folders using the web.config or some other equally as global method? (meaning some other way than inheriting on a per page basis.)
I have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?
I need to list all files folders, subfolders and subfolder files under a selected directory in a list box not sure how to do the logic in the last amount of code lines to enumerate all subfolders dna files.Here is what I have so far:
Dim OldProfileDir As String Dim NewProfileDir As String Dim Newdocs As String = "" Dim Olddocs As String = ""
I am new to VB but I do have VS2005 and I was looking at some code examples here on deleting files by days old and I need to do something similar, I would like to start a say C:myData**.xit and search through all sub folders under myData and move all the .xit files based on days old into a temp folder. Then I could verify them before I delete them manually to be safe. So how do I loop through all sub folders? and can I just modify this code to do that? Here is the code I was thinking about starting with [URL].
Dim files As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) Dim singlefile As String Dim CreatedOn As Date 'Declare the counter Dim deletedcount As Integer = 0 [Code] .....
I have a series of text files in multipule diffrent sub directories. I found the following functions on the Internet:
CODE:
The functions will make a direcotry tree in my debug window, that looks something like this:
CODE:
What I want it to do is to have it return an array of relitive file paths, from the starting direcotry I give the function. Then I will use a loop to cycle though each file in the array to make certain changes.
Basically I'm going to try and develop a software that merges PDFs automatically using the PDFSharp API.What I want in the program is to basically that: Have the program to give and Input and Output directoryMerge all the documents in the directory or sub-directoryRename the merged PDF file according the the name of the directory/sub-directoryIf the folder has PDF files and a Sub-Directory I want to merge the PDF files in the folder and rename them as per the main folder, and rename the files in the sub-folder according to its name (i.e. seperate|)
It's the first time I'm using an API.The problem I have is how to use the directories and sub-directories as I need them.

I am retrieving data from a csv/txt file using oledb driver ConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0; Data Source = " & System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(strFileName) & "; Extended Properties = ""Text;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited""" strQuery = "SELECT * FROM [" & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(strFileName) & "]"
In the last line I am getting following error if the filename is large Is not a valid name. Make sure that it does not include invalid characters or punctuation and that it is not too long.
My question - Is there any limit to filename or the select query or there is some pattern which I need to follow?

I have an asp.net/vb file that receives data and processes it via a stored procedure. The code had the width set to 2 for the year's varchar, so it was chopped, leaving only the first two digits to get inserted into the db.Is this info possibly retrievable from a system/IIS log file or is it lost forever?
