Moving A File To A Storage Device?
Aug 1, 2010
Is it possible in VB.NET to get the directory of a file copied/moved to a removable storage device?
For example, I have msword document on my desktop and move it to my storage device. A dialog box will appear or anything that will show the directory of the document.
The idea is whenever you move a file into the specific device, it will automatically processed. I will be using this to compress a file automatically when it is moved or copied to the storage device.

I'm trying to access a USB Storage device, however the device although appearing in the commputer / Drives section, is not allocated a Drive letter, thus when I itterate through the attached drives link text it does not appear, I've taken the "Location" from a file on the drive (properties) and it comes up as COMPUTER/Q1/Datacasts but this doesn't work when I pass it to the FileInfo Object (network drive cannot be found) And I'm at a bit of a loss at which way to procced

how to read files from an USB mass storage device. I have found plenty of posts regarding drive letter detecting and reading the files. It's OK, but what about a device, where no drive letter is assigned - e.g. my mobile phone is visible under "My Computer" as "Mobile Device". The same situation it with my MP3 player. It's visible under "My Computer" as "Sansa device". Please, could anybody help me? I need to enumerate USB devices, identify, which ones have a file system and finally, I need to read/write a file to the file system.

Looking for an idea of where the best place to keep files for a program. I use them frequently and they interact with the program directly. I want to place them in a place where they won't be easy to find if someone is just cruising thru the directories. Any ideas?

I'm restricted to .Net 3.5 so I can't use isolatedstorage.getfilenames() as in .NET 4. What I have below isn't working yet. I do get to the messageBox included in the code below but I can't find the file "IST_Log.txt" anywhere on Windows XP where I ran the program. I saw the messagebox appear 3 times meaning AppendLog was being called. What do I need to do to write this file on either XP or Windows 7?
Public Sub appendLog(ByVal message As [String])
' Get the isolated store for this assembly
Dim isf As IsolatedStorageFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetUserStoreForAssembly()
Dim format As String = "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.fff"
Dim isfs1 As IsolatedStorageFileStream

A Problem in accessing a device from VB Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware because there is a duplicate device already running in the system. (Code 42) This error is because i am using 2 devices of the same company which has the mass usb storage on it and when i install one of the device the other hides. So one is detected the Other is not. It also give a error called designed dragnonacally something...

I seem to recall that there is an API which will return the INF file associated with a device driver but I'm drawing a blank. I want to get the path to the INF File, File Name Section Name and File Date.

This is my code to remove a file from a selected USB device:
Dim fileInfo As IO.FileInfo = CType(ListBox5.SelectedItem, IO.FileInfo)
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(fileInfo.FullName, CStr(ListBox4.SelectedItem) & fileInfo.Name)
ListBox6.Items.RemoveAt(ListBox6.SelectedIndex)
But i keep getting this error:
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'DeleteFile' accepts this number of arguments.

I posted the message below in the VB6 section of this forum with no success, but as I've now got access to VB2008 via work, I thought I'd try again here. Basically I'd like to be able in code navigate to a folder held on a mobile device like a mobile phone connected to a pc using MS Activesync? It shows up in the drive list within "My Computer" as a system folder, I've vb6 code to detect all the drives including network mapped drives but not the mobile device.Ultimately I'd like to do file copying when my program detects a mobile device has been connected.

I am using Process.Start to run a command line application. The log for the app is automatically saved in a predefined location that I can not change. Also, I can not specify the name of the log.I need the log to go to a specific directory and the be renamed. I thought I could do it this way:[code]When I run the code, it tells me that it can't fin the file "Test2.txt". When I isolate the code and only run the first part, it moves the file to the second directory just fine. It only errors on the RenameFile line.

is there any way to move a contact or apointment item from a file (ie C: est) to a MAPI folder? The way I have it set up now I can save all the items from the outlook MAPI folder into the file, but I can't retrieve them. I've tried my.computer. filesystem. copyfile, but there seems to be no way of feeding it the mapi folder as a string it can understand. I've tried to see if I could open the .msg from the file as any format I could think of, and then saving it. No luck there. I've searched extensively, too, though I'm not sure I was using the correct terms.
My end goal is to make a folder on a shared drive that other users can go to and look at a list of contacts and or calendar items, then possibly upload them into their own contacts/calendars. I've even tried taking all the relevent data out of them and putting it into a text file, then uploading it to outlook. I got that working well enough, but it seems so convoluted, and is far from robust. It seems like it should be easy to just copy them over, since you can just click and drag them on the UI, but I haven't had any luck

Basically what I want is when a person clicks on an Item that ends in "Mp3" in Listview1 to then Create that same File on Listview2 So far It will create the File, not show its name. and it gives the directory, but not all the way.
Heres the Code for Moving the file to listview2.
If ListView1.FocusedItem.Name.EndsWith(".mp3") Then
ListView2.Items.Add(ListView1.FocusedItem.Name.ToString, 4)
'Add SubItem Information.
Dim li As New ListViewItem
li.ImageIndex = 4
[Code] .....
I wont get anything to pop out on Listview2, even if I click anything on listview1. I have to group (left click and hold, and go over multiple items.) And if I am lucky I will get some stuff on Listview2. I got 1 item to move to listview2 but it has no name (it does not appear). Now if we move the scroll bar to the right, we will see another error, (next picture). The Directory Does not end with the Music's Name.mp3. And It does not even end in the same directory as the textbox on the bottom right corner?

I am writing a program to manage some of my files. I already know when I want to send a file to the recycle bin, so I don't need the system to prompt me each time. How do I tell it to back Off, and just do it?
Here is my
Sub RecycleBinFile(ByVal strFilename As String)
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(strFilename, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs, FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin, FileIO.UICancelOption.DoNothing)
End Sub
Some of my research has pointed me to FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs.

My application is a service application, and it needs to load a set of configuration that the user can change. I was using the System.Configuration classes to set up the app.config file, and then I was going to give the user the option of editing this file to change configuration.
Can I move this file to a custom directory, something like C:settingsapp.config? Or is it forced to reside in the app directory?

I develop a web browser. It has a settings feature where you can change the homepage and some other options and it has bookmarks. Well, if you rename the file, then all of these settings are erased and reset to the defaults. How can I make this where all these settings are included no matter if moving, renaming, etc.?

I have 3 buttons 2 for browse (openfiledialog) and the other for move. I also have 2 textboxs that will say the directory of the file selected. So what I want to do is make one file move to another directory in the click of the move button.

I'm creating this VB 2008 application and I want to make it into a CD so it can be installed in other computers. Problem is, after I create the setup and start it even from the computer that created the application in the first place, it gives me the "unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will wignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately." and "The following file could not be found: "C:UsersMyNameAppDataLocalApps2.0Data\VHMGGXM7.8K8..." errors.
Since my first "form" is a login system, I am not sure if this problem appears because of the database search, or just the transition between forms (unlikely, I guess, since there is sort of an introductory video before the login system which uses the same logic to transition between forms)... So I tried moving the access database to a different path and I wanted to know how to tell the program (through v.b.) that the database is now in "this path" without having to re-connect and create a new DataSet, which will make me have to start the whole project again. I set up the whole project in Program Files (a place all computers must have). The video before the login system works fine, but I can't really find any other problem.
