I have a program that manipulates some files every night. The problem is it does not run on all the files all the time because someone leaves them open and forgets about it. So I then have to go in and manually force these files to close. Anyways I can do this in vb.net? Force a file to close, or delete a file thats already in use?

View 1 RepliesI have an external harddrive and I usually backup my desktop with a cleanup folder which I usually move to the external harddrive.
The problem is: when I search for a file (i.e. example.mp3) I will find multiple copies which are taking up way too much space.
Is there an app or some code that can search for an extension (i.e. .mp3) and if it finds more than one copy of the same file, it can delete the extra file?
The reason I ask is: I have around 1300 different mp3s on my external harddrive and most of them are extra copies of the same mp3. When I search for the extension mp3 and I want to move all of the mp3s to a single folder I am prompted way too many times for overwriting or keeping the same mp3 file.
I need an app that can force the move without prompting and delete the extra copies; so, I am left with only one copy of each.
i.e.
mp3 files on external hard drive for backup:
song.mp3 > in one folder
song.mp3 > in another folder

How would i delete only the successful inserted rows for insert and then move the non successful rows up and allow the user to correct the data and get it ready for an insert. If i dont delete the successful rows then i will have multiple inserts of the same dataRow and we dont want that! AND if i dont move the data up then it will have blank rows uptop and will end the try and not insert the corrected data. You can better see what logic i am trying to perform at the bottom of my code, right after I insert into the database. Here is my code.

Im am writing a simple console app that will check and see that a file exists and then if does it will copy the file and move/paste the file into a new location. The file I'm checking exists as a file share on a server and I am wanting to move the file to a folder on a local machines C drive.
I'm working from my machine which is on the domain where the file exists and I'm logged in and have full admin rights on the domain. I can access the file share but when I run my app it gives an error saying access to to the file path is denied. My question is even if I'm on the network do I still need to provide username and password credentials to make this connection? If so how do I do this?
[Code]...
Ideally I'd like to be able to copy/move between an accessible folder on my local drive and a network share that I don't have permission to access (but the application would). I am using impersonation to give me access to the files in the network share but using System.IO File.Move or File.Copy forces me to use the same credentials for each location. Is there a way around this?

I've added a needed feature to my program where the user will move their completed forms to the network drive. Currently the program finds all associated files in the source directory and then moves them, but I was wondering if there is a way to move only selected files or multiple files at a given time. Using VS 2010, I've looked at the open and save file dialog boxes, but open only lets me select one file at a time while the save dialog box does not let me move them. Just wondering of some ideas/suggestions for this.

View 1 RepliesOn an error (thrown exception), the file being processed should be moved to the folder for files with errors (app.config setting).
The problem: The only way that I can of handling this is to have a nested Try/Catch inside of the main Try/Catch to try to move the file, that way if the move fails, another exception is thrown. I know that I can do my best to make sure the directory exists, rights are given, but since it is a network drive... I just know an error is bound to happen at some point.
Example
Try
(Do Some Logic, but an error happens)
Catch ex As Exception
Try
[Code]....
Actually that came out even more horrible than what I was thinking it would look like.
How should I really be trying to handle a possible error occuring in the catch, so that I can still move files and try to call my event?
