I'm trying to get files from a directory and all the sub directory's to show in a checked list box. This is my first time working with arrays?here is the code

I have a sansa fuze and i have to make my own playlist for it so i want to have the program read the songs that are on there and show it to you in the list box and you can check off the ones you want then it will read the mp3 files to make the playlist, it needs the path, name, and duration from the mp3 file. i can get the name and the path so far...
I am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.String

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?
Title says it all. How can you obtain a list of files (as a stringcollection or some other storage method) which contains the full path on the user's computer to the files?
View 1 RepliesI need to do a daily process that has to copy (download), all the files from a iSeries folder. At the moment, if i know the filename i'm using the following code with the cwbx.dll
Dim dt As New cwbx.DatabaseTransfer
dt.UserID = "user"
dt.Password = "password"
dt.Download("iSeriesName", "dir/filename", "outputfile")
But how can i list all the files that exist in that dir, so that i can copy/download them all ?

I have an 'In' folder that users drop all different types of files into (.doc, .xls, .rtf, .pdf etc.).Each file that gets dropped into the 'In' folder should have a matching .pdf file (i.e. abc123.doc and abc123.pdf)I have a program which looks into this 'In' directory at regular intervals and moves filename.* to another directory. The folder the files get moved to depends on the first 2 characters of the filename (12-abc.doc might get copied to folder '12' etc).All the files placed in the 'In' folder should have both a native file and a matching .pdf i.e. (abc123.doc and abc123.pdf)In some cases the native file is missing. In some cases the .pdf is missing.There are 2 things that I want to do.
1.) I want to prevent files being moved from the 'In' folder if a .pdf does not exist (I think I can deal with this one ok).
I think perhaps a For Next Loop Array for filenames minus the file extension and if it already exists in the array then copy them (but what if someone has got a .doc and a .xls but no .pdf?!?!? I'm sure somebody could tell me a simple way of achieving this.
2.) This is the part I am struggling with. I need to look in existing folders that files have already been copied to and list:
a.) Native file without matching .pdf
b.) .pdf without matching native file
c.) .pdf with matching native file
I am using the following code to allow the user to select a directory and then list the appropriate files within that directory in a combobox. What I would like to do is sort that combobox into a descending order so the most resent files are listed first as the filename contains a date yymmdd.
ComboBox1.Items.Clear()
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
End If
Dim BackupFolder As String = TextBox1.Text

I am trying to program my application in VB.Net so that when a user goes to my 'FTP Out' page, the page straight away loads with a list of the files that are on my FTP site.I know I will have to get a connection going with my FTP site but how do I actually go about getting the list of details to show on my form?
At the moment, all I can think of is calling 'Methods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails'

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. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

View 2 RepliesHow to list all files in a folder including subfolder files.
View 9 Repliesi have this right now:
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(TextBox1.Text)
Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.*")[code]......
and that displays only the file name, like text.txt but i want it to display C:/Text.txt and all the files in the subfolders too, like C:/Program Files/Test2.txt but i just get test.txt from only the c:/ .
I am trying to get the files in a directory and display them in a list box. I have that part working, but I would only like to show the files that are NOT hidden. I am currently using this:
Dim atts As FileAttribute = CheckDirectory.Attributes
If (atts And FileAttribute.Hidden) = FileAttribute.Hidden Then...
this is part of a for each loop.
But is there a way to only return the files that are not hidden, instead of having to check if they are?
I also need this to see how many files are in each directory so I don't have to count each file in each directory within the current folder. If I use the CheckDirectory.GetFiles().count, it counts the hidden files to.. A for each loop is just too slow..

I am looking for a control that gives me a directory listing like treeview with check boxes, i have seen a solution for this from this guy over at [URL] and found it really complex for me to work with at my level.
There are controls within visual studio 2008 that can do this but again my Visual Studio skills are non existant at this time, has anyone else ever seen a control or a simpler solution to this problem...
Can't seem to find a way to do this, google is failing me!

I have seen questions like What is the best way to empty a directory?
But i need to know,
what is the fastest way of deleting all the files found within the directory, except any .zip files found.
Smells like linq here... or what?
UPDATE: By saying fastest way, i mean the Fastest execution time.
