Rename File Name As Description Title?
Feb 14, 2010
i am trying to change the name of a music file, that has the new name set as its description title.
the name it has is like "ADGU". once you right click it and click on the tab Details then look down at the Description section, the Title is set to "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist"
that is the name i wish the file name to be.
now i am trying to set is in a for each loop, as i have over 300 music files that have this problem.
for each file as string in my.computer.filesystem.getfiles("C:Folder", fileIO.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.*")
Dim fileInfo as new system.IO.FileInfo(file)
dim NewName as string = ...?(Properity Title)
[Code].....

I'm using vb 2010, and a newbie programmer I just want to ask how to change the description of the .exe file from WindowApplication1 to something else and how to change its icon? By the way, does applications made in vb 2010 requires .net Framework to run? Because i tried to run my .exe file in another pc but it gives me an error.

I want to get the description of an external .exe file from my vb.net app, rather like in task manager. My program can monitor active processes and open their file locations, but it cannot get their descriptions (like in task manager) I want it to be able to do this, and I've found the following code to get the description of a normal file (I had to re-write it from csharp):
Public Class Myform
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices
<StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential)> _
[Code]....
For example, if the process 'dwm.exe' is open, then I want my program to get the description "Desktop Window Manager." I want it to be universal for any program so it can be done with any open process.

I know album name is usually to music files & stuff probably but I guess album is what I need to categorize my video files correctly in Windows Media Player as it does organize my music files correctly when using album name & title. Anyways, these files I just want to change album name at the least & the description is something else I'd like to change on them as well. These files when I right click & go to properties then over to the details tab will show all the things like it usually does, but it will not let me change them. I am guessing this has to do because they are protected type files but I just want to change some things so they display correctly in Windows Media Player.
It already lets me change attributes inside Windows Media Player & at the bottom pane of the screen in explorer when the file is selected of attributes the file already had, but it won't let me add in the album name & description since it didn't start with one. I don't want to get rid of the protection on the files to be able to add these attributes either as I thought that was illegal or something, plus I don't want to download another program I don't have just to do this, whether it be a protection remover (which I said above, I think is illegal, even if it wasn't or isn't, I still wouldn't want to do that anyways) or even a thing that can change the attributes for me I wouldn't want to download since I just don't like downloading things that I won't use often, even if it's easy to remove & everything.
Since I already have VIsual Basic 2010 Express Edition installed I would just like to code something to change these attributes programmatically. It can be a simple textbox which is the location of the file and a button which changes the album name and description to "Just Text" that way I can put in each file I want to change & then click a button and it will be good from there. I will be able to change the variables after they are there to what I want after that from explorer or windows media player so I don't care for having textbox to change album name & description per file as I can just do this in explorer afterwords to what I want. By the way, files are in .wmv file format.

I try to rename a file by
file.copy(oldPathName, newPathName)
then
file.delete(oldPathName)
File.copy works.But somehow, a message saying oldPathName is being used by another process, when it tries to delete the old file.

I am currently using the registry to get file descriptions for files. As an example, so that a DOCX file will return the description "Microsoft Word". I am doing this from the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT registry key.However, registry access is extremely slow, and I need to do several thousands of these. Is there an alternative way to do this?

When I look at a file on my hard disk, e.g. test.csv, when I look at the Properties of the file, it is officially known as, "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File", and file types of .pdf are listed as "Adobe Acrobat Document", etc. etc. All of this information can be seen in Windows Explorer too when my folders are displayed by Details. How do you get at this "type of file" information with .NET?

New user here. I've been searching high and low for what I would think is a relatively simple task. I want to rename a file with a wildcard (i.e. FileNamexxx.xls) within a Visual Basic Script. I'll be running this script within Visual Studio.
I will only have 1 file in this folder, so I do not believe a loop is necessary.
Actual FileName is "CellModelHistory1251234.xls"

Imports System.IO

What 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?

This is something that I'm curious about. Is it possible using OpenFileDialog to have user select, instead of Access Database File,a file with different name and type but keeping Access Database connection string intact ? I have no idea how you would go about attempting this-----I thought it might be better if the user opened a generic file instead of realizing that they were opening a Database File.Can you create Custom file Type to handle situation like this or do declare some type of Variable

I'm making somewhat of a File Shredder, wherein, it overwrites your file with a random combonation of 1's and 0's, and i was wondering, is there a way to, once you've overwritten the file, rename it to a 'random' name?How it works: (Not very effective, I know)It overwrites the file w/ 1's and 0's.Basically, theres a textbox, where a 'random' combonation of 1's and 0's(Here after known as 'data') come sup everytime.So, it overwrites wht is on that file w/ the 'data' and saves it, using a save file dialog.Is there a way so that when you save it, it saves it as a 'random' name? Like if the file was 'MY INFORMATION' Once overwritten it'd be like l_fnfu4ufhf or something.

I am running VS 2005, and have looked at Itextsharp,hp document imaging, simple ocr, aquaforest, adobe sdk. The problem with all, is either compatibility or cost.

I have completed my VB code and decided to publish it(make program an installable program). However, I want to rename my project so that when I publish it, the program will be the name I want. Now, my project is named as "Trial" when I first started. Now I want to change to "Monitor" due to some reasons. So it means having to renames all the files in that project as "Monitor" instead of "Trial".

I understand how to rename a file in vb.net as I use the coding at the end of my post. However, is its possible to rename a file and if the file exists then to rename it and add +1 to the file name? So if I ran the code.
'Run it first time
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "c: estNewName.txt")
'Run it again but it should add +1 as the file will already exists so it should be "c: estNewName1.txt"
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "c: estNewName.txt")
Decided rather than rename and +1 it would be better to just date stamp it.
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile("c: est est.txt", "Test" & Format(Date.Now, "ddMMyy") & ".txt")
