The idea is to click Button1, for it to open a browser window, then select 1 or more files from a directory and add them to ListBox1.Currently I'm using a very basic method that adds all files from a directory to my ListBox
Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:Users")
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
For Each file As String In files

I want to show a list of files and folders (names + their icons) inside a given directory with a ListView control or equivalent. I understand that ExtractAssociatedIcon gives you the icon of a file, not a folder. So what are my options for this objective? I don't really have a problem if I have to separate folders and files like the following.
Dim fi As New IO.DirectoryInfo(f) 'f is the path of a given directory
For Each subfolder As IO.DirectoryInfo In fi.GetDirectories()
ImageList1.Images.Add(My.Resources.FolderIcon)

I am using the FilesystemWatcher to look for files in a Directory, it does not matter what the file is. After a file appears it starts my ftp process and I end up with a bunch of 0 byte files because it processed before all the files arrived.
I would like to WaitFor... (Files_Created) to finish but dont seem to have the right syntax to get this to work properly. I have working code up until it loops. As you can see I have tried various processes to get it to work... mostly commented out. I also have imported just about everything trying to get this to work. Please ask away.

My knowledge of VB.net is limited (only have been reading from the book)
so what i need to do for my project is to populate a listbox with files from a certain directory (C:folder)
then once it's populated, i can select an item and it will open up in a rich text box.
This is what i have so far for the active directory > list box:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopfolder")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo

I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.

I have it set so when button3 is clicked that the listbox displays the textfiles in a designated folder.[code]Now what I would like to have happen is a way for: Selected listbox2.item (A.txt, B.txt, or C.txt) read the selected textfile into Textbox1.text(I want to click on A, B, or C and have it just open/read that textfile into the textbox.)I have a feeling this is something simple - but for some reason I am having trouble grasping it.

once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:

a dialogue box to have the user open a file they wish. I'm trying to open a specific file when a listbox item is selected and I have that down but I'm running into the problem of needing to have "" in the display which is impossible from what I can tell in the code. I just need to know what goes in the quotes which will open the file. Also lets say the text file was 'supportdoc1.rtf' and was located in a folder inside of the program folder called 'SupportDocuments' would the path be "SupportDocumentssupportdoc1.rtf" [Code]

View 4 RepliesI am using VB.NET (version 2008). I have two types of items populating in a listbox (checked listbox). For example: lets say one is type "A" and other is "Type B". Their names maybe same so if the user sees those items in listbox then he won;t be able to determine their type until he click on them and checks out its properties. I wanted that I add each item to listbox and colour them so that blue for example means type "A" is there and red means the other. So this way I will be able to know at a glance that how many item of what type is present. I guess it may not be possible to do that in a standard checkedlistbox. I am also using component factory's krypton controls which enhance the gui of an application. But I dunno if I can progress using that.

I'm creating a program that will copy a selected file to a selected directory, and I want to store recent files/dirs so that they can be selected from a combo box.

I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.
