Is there a way to detect if a file is being deleted,
1) Using the Del key
2) Using the Shift+Del keys
3) Using the above keys from a remote computer through a shared folder
And instead of deleting move it to another folder in the same computer. Basically when a user tries to delete a file or folder it should move it to a specified folder instead of deleting it.
I am developing an application that Monitors a specific folder for file changes such as modify deletion, update, etc. The only problem I have is , the application doesn't fire up File events.
Here is the code:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Diagnostics
Public Class Form1

I need a code that when you click on a button a file in the c:// drive will be moved into a folder into the C:/something/ drive?
View 1 RepliesI thought this would be simple but clearly, I'm not understanding something right. I created a program where one selects a file. Then they type in the Directory the 'Test' folder is located in (C , D , E , ect) and then they click on another button that then transfers said file to the 'TEST' folder.[code]....
View 5 RepliesWhat piece of code could determine if the new path does already exist, and if not , create a same? For instance on my form I have two TextBoxes i.e. TxtBx1 and TxtBx2.
TxtBx1 presents the complete path and name of an existing file like:
C:UsersFarazDocumentsOfficeTest1ABC.xlsx
TxtBx2 presents a new path and new name for the same like:
C:UsersFarazDocumentsHomeTest2XYZ.xlsx
If there already exists a path C:UsersFarazDocumentsHomeTest2 I want the Button BtnGo to simply move the file to the said folder and be renamed from ABC.xlsx to XYZ.xlsx. However, if such a new path doesn't exist at all, i.e. even there doesn't exist a folder like
C:UsersFarazDocumentsHome how to create the same via SHELL and MD and also a subfolder of
Test2 within the same and then move the file to the newly created path and finally being renamed?
I'm trying to move a lot of pictures from FOLDER A to another, FOLDER B. However, some of the pictures already exists in the FOLDER B. This stops my program saying it cannot copy the pictures over because they already exist. I'm trying to make it so any pictures from FOLDER A will copy over the pictures in FOLDER B if they are similar in name. Like... Folder A's pictures will just replaced the Folder B pictures if they have the same name. I was told to use the System.IO.File.Copy tool. Here is my code.

I was toying with a T4 template's FileManager object, when I seemed to create a ".." folder in my solution. I was puzzled, as this shouldn't really be a valid user-creatable folder,and obviously, no ".." folder was created in the file system. So, I deleted it from within the VS Solution Explorer.I watched for four minutes as the entire contents of my solution's parent directory got deleted.

I used to run through an ultragrid with a for each loop and that took forever, I stumbled accross this way and it's much faster but I noticed today I still have some straggling .txt files after the form closes at times. Is there a way to actually verify all the files have been deleted before closing the form?
I ran the same for each loop twice to work it out but not sure if that works or worsens it. Also, I'm not entirely sure what that application.doevents does as I initially thought it would finish all above lines before continuing but that does not seem the case. Anyway, these .txt files files are about 500KB and up to 1000 of them at any one time so it's not instant but it's still pretty fast, faster then looping through a grid.
I need to know how could I move all files inside a folder (for example: C:Folder1) to another folder (for example: C:Folder2), but not delete Folder1 and get how many items have been moved, let me explain;
I need to move all items inside Folder1 (files, folders, sub-folders, sub-files, etc) maintaining directory structure, but without delete Folder1, and if its possible know how many folders and how many files have been moved (only the number of folders and number of files).
I want to make a very simple program that remove duplicate domain name from a txt file. First, it must have a Open file Button so that it can load list of url to Listbox.
So, the URLs will be loaded into listbox. Then It has 2 more button Start and Save button Lastly one counter to calculate how many URL in that listbox
So example.. let say I have a txt file which contains URLs
[URL]
I open this txt file and loaded it into listbox (can scroll)
Then when I press start button, it will delete the URL that has same domain name. so the output will look like this
[URL]
Then I can save the URL from listbox to my disc drive as text file

View 3 RepliesWhen setting up the Ajax Control Toolkit's AutoComplete control, it creates an utoComplete.asmx and a AutoComplete.vb file. The AutoComplete.vb file automatically ends up in the App_Code folder. I was hoping to move all of these styled-classes into a separate namespace, but the compiler simply does not dig it. Is this possible, or must it be within the presentation layer to access the "Web" related namespaces?

It seems like it should be pretty simple, I take in a file name as a parameter, create a new name for it, delete it, then try to copy it back from an older version of the same file, and update the connection string. However, it continually tells me that "The file 'filenamehere' already exists." If I set overwrite to true then it goes through just fine, except it doesn't actually copy the file. Obviously I also check the folder, and the file does in fact Not exist...I've also checked all the file paths and what-not, they are all accurate.
So, I'm really stuck at the moment.I have 2 textbox, 2 OpenFolderDialog, and 3 buttons.Here the following code I have so far
