How would I loop through a directory recursively, and get a list of ALL file extensions used, not duplicating any of them? It could just output to the debug window. Or perhaps write to the database and have the database filter the duplicates. So it would be great to see...

Is there a way in VB to copy certain file types comparable to the commnad line copy command
View 4 RepliesI am creating a program which can store files, and I display their names in a list box, with their contents in another list box. My program can read the file names but has the file extension ".txt" added to all of them, meaning that the program cannot read the contents. How can I remove ".txt" from them? [code]
View 3 Repliesthe problem is I'm trying to access a file that has no file extension. I think you can see why this is so difficult. The specific file I'm trying to edit is the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).

I'm trying to delete all the files in the same folder that have the same name but different extensions, such as CurrentWallpaper.bmp, CurrentWallpaper.jpg, CurrentWallpaper.png, without putting them in a separate folder. How could I go about doing this? I tried doing
Dim bg As String = dir + "" + Login.UsernameTextBox.Text
Kill(bg + "CurrentWallpaper.*")
but it didn't work. PS: I would also like to use the same technique for loading the image as a background image instead of having to do this:
Try
If My.Computer.FileSystem.FileExists(Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "/CurrentWallpaper.jpg") Then
Me.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile(Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "/CurrentWallpaper.jpg")
End If

I have started researching Reactive extensions and I would like to know how to do the following (ill try and keep it simple):
1) have a list of string (or any other type)
2) when an item is added to the said list, do something with it...
Guess im just kinda stuck where to start :/
I have certain files that need deleted every time I run my program. There are some files that start with f. and then end with .00000668 or .00005396 and so on. Here is my coding that is not working to delete the f files.

I'm writing a program that allows users to view certain files using a DataGridView as the selection method I can do most of that just fine. Here's the part I'm having trouble with: I want to open the files using whatever program they have associated with the file extension. After researching it (on these forums), I determined that I should use the Process.Start() method. However, Windows throws an Win32Exception if there is no association to the filetype, and I want it to show the "Open With" dialog instead, and I can't figure out or find how to do that.

how to determine whether the property in question is a generic List(Of T)? If it is I need to loop the list itself.
I've experimented with GetType and TypeOf but have not managed to get anything working.
To clarify, I want to keep this generic. I do not want to specify the type of T, I need to loop the list items and call the ToString method on each item. T could be one of a number of different types (application specific reference types). Is it possible to do this without specifying types?

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?

so in that code, it'll make the number of threads based off of my spineditor.Now, ideally i'd like it to go through a list, each thread does its thing.Now, a simple dowork would just allow it to do 1. i would ideally like it to stay @ X threads until the list is done, so how would I basically go about remaking a thread once it finishes to continue? So, lets say I have 50 items in a list, i set the number of threads to 5.The first 5 would do the first 5 items, when the 1st one finishes, it works on item 6, then the next would do 7, etc. and it'd keep remaking until 50 is done.
