I have the following code, which copies a directory to a server share, but the directory is often locked/read only after it's copied.

From what I can tell this isn't possible with CopyDirectory.Is there a simple way to copy a directory and overwrite everything, or do I have to have it first check each directory for read-only files and then change their Read-Only attribute?
View 1 RepliesWe have a desktop application that is under maintenance,developed using VB.Net 2005. There are couple of installations for this app. One of the users is using TS. We use the API GetWindowsDirectory that returns the user's home directory where we place .ini file. And this worked well.Recently, we modifed few vb.net forms. But the code related to looking for .ini file was not touched. When we compiled the app and sent the update to the client, the user now reports that under TS,the app is looking for .ini file shared windows i.e. C:windows rather than the user's home directory. What can go wrong? Why is GetWindowsDirectory not returning me the user's home directory?

I have a program originally compiled in VS2008 on a WindowsXP Pro box. The program uses Microsoft DAO 3.5 Object Library to access an Access database.
When I try and run the program on Windows XP (any version) it runs just fine. If I try and run in on Vista (any version) it doesn't work. When I try and run it on Windows 7 Pro, it runs fine. I really want it to run on Windows 7 Home Premium, but I get an interop error anytime I try and access the database.

I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder.

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:

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?

Does Anyone know How to read multi-line strings? I am using XmlWriter to write a Multi-Line Textbox to an Xml Document. The Trouble Is I can't figure out how to get the reader to read that multi-line element. I know the writer is writing it in multi-line, but the read just squashes the lines together. Does anyone know how to read that multi-line element properly?

View 2 RepliesBasically I want to create a little program with 5 or so text fields where I enter the specific names of movies. Upon pressing a "go" button it then does a google search(with certain criteria) for all textfield entries on the website [URL} and then download the files, if possible without opening a browser.
Search criteria:
-only video formats(.avi .mov etc)
-download url contains the "_de" tag (to insure german trailers)
That way it should hopefully find the right trailer and download it. If possible have it use progress bars.

I have a question about creating a multi-language application and the use of resource files. I will explain what I have done and what I would like the final product to be like.I am doing this in VB.Net and using Visual Studio 2008 After creating a new project, I added a resource file to the project (Add -> New Item, Selected Resource File, named it Resource1.resx).
I then double clicked the resource file and was able to add some names and values. For example,
Name - lblFirstName, value - John
Name - lblLastName, value - Smith
On my form, I have 2 labels: FirstName, and LastName
In Code, I added
FirstName.Text = My.Resources.Resource1.lblFirstName
LastName.Text = My.Resources.Resource1.lblLastName
If I run this code, it works fine. John and Smith are displayed on the labels. Now for my question. Say instead of first and last name the labels (buttons, menu items, etc.) were actually words that would be different in different languages. What I would like is to have something like
EnglishText.resx
SpanishText.resx
GermanText.resx
Each resource file would contain the same names, just different values. Depending on what language was selected, decided by the user (from a menu), how can I get the matching resource file to be used.
Basically what I want would be FirstName.Text = My.Resources.<Language Specific Resource File>.lblFirstName
Is something like this possible? Is this an acceptable approach? Is there a better way of doing this? I try to check often to see if there are follow up questions or if more information needs to be provided.
