OpenFileDialog - Getting Specific File Type From My Computer Using The .getfiles Function
Jun 10, 2011
I'm doing a project now. I'm having a problem on getting specific file type from my computer using the .getfiles function.
Here's my codes.
Private Sub dlgOpen_FileOk(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles dlgOpen.FileOk
Dim filepath as String = "C:"
dlgOpen.CheckFileExists = True
[CODE]...
What I wanted to happen is when the openfiledialog prompted and once I've selected the file, the file information I've specified above must show on the application as a label. But nothing appears. The file name only appears on the text box beside the open button. It should also appear above the button and the text box as a label. How could i possibly do that? And how could I select just one file at a time from a folder with 150 other files in it? When I use getFiles, it only gets all at the same time everything that's in the folder even if i've only just selected one file.

If I have a folder with a bunch of ".htm" & ".html" files in it and I use
My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.html")it returns all the ".html" files, as expected. But if I useMy.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(myFolder, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.htm")it returns ".htm" & ".html" files, when I would expect it to return only the ".htm" files. Is this a bug?

I'm working on an application, a GUI front-end for a command-line program. What I need to do is this:-use the OpenFileDialog to retrieve the command-line program's path (as it may be in different places for different users)-save that path string in a variable that I can use later (save "C: arget" in a variable called mainPath)

Do you know how to declare a variable that can hold the result of a call to GetFiles?
I don't know how to do this, so I am using the following verbose/duplicative version:
Dim l_v_String_FoundFile As String
If My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("A:u_Au_W", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories,

This has to be simple, but can't find the answer.I want to display a list of all files from a folder in a listbox. Easy..., but I want to display only the filenames without their paths.
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles("C:My Folder")
ListBox1.Items.Add(foundFile)
Next
This gives me list looking like that:
C:My Folderfile1.txt
C:My Folderfile2.txt

How can I make a program so you click a button and select a File using a OpenFileDialog and click send on your computer and it will send the file to a different computer and then a SaveFileDialog will show asking where to save the file on the other computer. Oh ya I cant use WinSock or whatever becuase im using Windows Vista 64 Bit. I need it because I for some reason cant use printer sharing. It might be because im on A 64bit Vista Machine and I want to print a file off of a 32bit XP Home Machine.

I'm trying to do the following I'm not sure if it's possible using VB.NET. I want to specify default saving point for all files type for example: In my program you choose the path "C:UsersMarkusPictures" for pictures and everytime you download pictures files from website, or using skype or any other program when Save File Dialog opens up (external one not via my program or connected to vb.net just the windows default one) then it will show "C:UsersMarkusPictures" always for .jpg .gif type of files etc...

I am devoloping a Web Application, in which one Page has some neccessity that User should select any folder in the System and for ex if he selects ex:D:xyz, then this Path should be Saved in Database, I have written the Code for Storing in to Database and Remaining Every thing. But actually i think that if it is like a Browse Button click function to select the Folder, what i have made is, as i dont know how to make it in Web Application simply i used a textbox to be able to user to type the Path.

I am using the open file dialog box. Right now the function looks like
Private Function OpenFileDialog1_FileOK(...)
File_Path_Name = OpenFileDialog1.Filename.ToString()
End Function
The thing is it isn't clear when this is called. I think it is called when I go through
OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog()
I want to return a value that is the Filename path to a variable like
file_path = Function()
and not use a global variable. But it doesn't seem like this is possible. Do you know how to get the function OpenFileDialog to return the file path?

I'm trying to load the most recent file from a directory, but my following code doesn't work. Am i getting something obvious terribly wrong?!
Dim myFile = Directory.GetFiles("C:UsersJoeDesktopXML Logs").OrderByDescending(Function(f) f.LastWriteTime).First()
I get two error messages:
Data type(s) of the type parameter(s) in extension method 'Public Function OrderByDescending(Of TKey)(keySelector As System.Func(Of String, TKey)) As System.Linq.IOrderedEnumerable(Of String)' defined in 'System.Linq.Enumerable' cannot be inferred from these arguments. Specifying the data type(s) explicitly might correct this error.
And:
'LastWriteTime' is not a member of 'String'.

Strange story... I downloaded VMWare but it has since advised of an available update. I downloaded the update and when I click to install it, a window comes up with VB Code from a project I created a while back in a completely separate folder from this install file. I then tried downloading the trial of VMWare Workstation and when running the installer it shows the same thing. I don't know of anyway to contact VMWare support since I don't pay for any services or products and all there is available is a FAQ type section. Of course this problem would not be in there, nor can I find any such related issue online. his is VMWare specific or perhaps the type of install specific. I have no other issues with any other app installations other than with VMWare installations.

I have a project where I am looping thru specific files in a directory using a For Each FileInfo in DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() statement. My question is if I overwrite the current FileInfo object, will it still retain the reference to the object even though the file is no longer the same?
Code Snippet:
For Each fi In folder.GetFiles("*.idx")
Dim reader As IO.StreamReader = fi.OpenText()
index = reader.ReadLine()
values = index.Split(",")

I have a directory 'C:Test' with three files in it:
A23456789.txt
A1.txt
G 5.txt
And I run this command:
Dim FileArr = Directory.GetFiles("C:Test", "*1.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
All three files are returned.I understand that this is by design and .NET searches the 8.3 short file names as well.But is there any way to override this and search the actual file names only?Surely, in this day and age there must be a function to do this. Or do I have to write my own?I would like the search function to have the same behavior as the Windows Explorer for consistency.

What does this error mean in VB6? Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic.

I have a server (server A) that has several public IP addresses. I am building a desktop application that will run on server A to fetch data from another server (server B) using the httpwebrequest class.
What I would like to do is be able to programatically direct the application to use a specific IP address from the one the server (A) has.
