I need to MOVE a batch of files from one drive to another one by one.How can I know when one file as completed the MOVING process so I the other file in row can start moving
View 3 RepliesI am unable to run batch file that is located in mapped network drive using System.Diagnostics.Process in VB.Net. I get:'<batchfilename>.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.Press any key to continue..I get the same error when navigate to the folder (using explorer) that contains this batch file and double click it. I can successfully run the batch file by changing the directory to that folder through command prompt. I can't figure out why this is happening. I think the problem is Start() function of Process works like double click rather than just run the batch file.

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

View 2 RepliesThis is probably simple, but the answer has eluded me. How can I move a folder from one drive to another drive. System.IO's MoveTo won't let me move a folder to another volume. Any thoughts?[URL]..
View 2 RepliesI move a VB project from school and home on a flash drive. At school drive mounts on E: at home it mounts on F:. I have 4 forms, Form1, Form2, Form3. Form4. Form1 and Form3 have incorrect file paths, it has the E:, but Form 2 and Form4 path change just fine when I move it from school and home.
View 1 RepliesI am busy writing a application that i can set up a list of files to copy from one location to a remote network drive.
THe program has a list of "jobs" in a datagrid that it loops through and executes in sequence. What i have now is a background worker that reports the status of which job it is on (File 1 of 5) but i would like something that shows the status of the current copying file as sometimes large files can look like it's stopped on the network
I am using the System.io.file.copy structure, but have also tried the my.computer.filesystem.copyfile (which shows the status in a "windows" copy box)
So, what i would like is some guidance on how to create a function that will copy the file but also report back progress periodicly. I don't want to read and write byte for byte as im worried this will be too slow.
Also, is there a better way/function to use to copy files? Looking for best speed
I have been asked to develop a solution which send to the default printer a list of files stored in a directory in file name sequence. These files maybe of any type - such as pdf or Office documents.
I have seen suggestions to using a process class (such as [URL]..However, the process would run largely unmonitored so I have concerns with regards to being able to control the submission of the numerous jobs to the printer and, for example, stopping the print should there be a failureerror in the print queue.
i 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:/ .
My app is designed to work on XP & Vista but I get an error on Vista but not XP When I want to kill/delete or move a file from an external drive I get an external error message System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied.

I've been developing an application that is basically a GUI for several batch files. You click on a button, and the corresponding batch file will run. I got it working in debug using this code:
Private Sub btnOpenFS_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpenFS.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("openfs.bat")
End Sub
Well i figure that if i do a temp. batch file for a small project heres the batch script. IPAddy would = a number xx.xx also how to execute from a button and run as admin at the same time. @echo off netsh interface ipv4 set address "local Area Connection" static 10.IPAddy.2

View 2 RepliesI am having trouble finding a code for visual basic 2010 (or 2008) that will compile batch files to a .exe format. (So they can no longer be edited.)So far I've only found one program that does this (And was made in Visual Studios) and the program doesn't even actually work due to some unknown error. It'd be a great help to get a source code or just told that this isn't even possible.

I have created tool which performs batch processing on files that are selected. The sub routine I have defined in the code, now I want to implement a way through which I can select actions that I want to perform and then perform the actions. For example the list has multiple actions, like Open, Close, SaveAs, Resize, Color Correct etc. I should be able to select what all I want to do on each file and then perform this actions. Someone suggested me using delegates for this, but I cant use that since all my functions have different parameters. Ither option I had is to use a nested IfElse or Switch to determine which action is selected and call function according to it, but thats to heavy I think, is there any optimized a better way to do this.???

I 'm trying to achieve is have 1 button that toggles between 2 batch files start/stop - when pressed the button calls for a batch file to start process - then if pressed again it calls for another batch file to stop the process. But it would be hand to have indicator or text on button stating the status.

View 2 RepliesI'm making a program that takes common applications and installs them silently using batch files. Someone would select the programs they would want to install and my program will write a giant batch file and execute it to install whatever they want. Heres the problem, After the user selects the programs they go into either one or two lists. Non Silent Installer List Or Silent installer list.
Some programs I have simply won't go silently so from there they can choose in what order they want to install these programs. Then there is a combo box that tells weather you want to install non silent programs first or last. From there you hit add to batch file and it would add everything in listbox1 and listbox2 in order. Listbox1 would contain just the text "MalwareBytes" for example. Along with Novell Groupwise and Firefox. How do I get that to add to the Batch List as a code and in order? So the user wants Malware bytes added first to the batch file. How do I add that to my batch list as a completely different code?

I am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.
This is what I put so far:
vb
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click FileCopy.CopyFiles("G:SharedSFMachinesTemp&HumidityTracking", "C:Richard's Stuff") End Sub

Dim file As String = (destination)
ReadFrm.ShowDialog()
My.Forms.ReadFrm.bookrtb.Text = file
Nothing seems to happen It's trying to read from the C:\Program Files directory.

View 5 RepliesAt this time I am using VBScript to drive files thru a printer driver. Each file has to be ran at all the different preferences the drivers can offer. (papersize, dpi, simplex/duplex, etc.). I am developing a VB application and I want to drive the files with the app. I want to make setting changes with my app. and then set the driver accordingly and run the files. When I finish I want to dynamiclly change the settings and then run the files again. Until I have driven them with all the different settings.
