Renaming Files Based On Dataset Fields?
Nov 7, 2011
I apologize if it is not. I am trying to write a script in Visual Studio 2008 (using a VB project) that will, upon the clicking of a button:
- A file object will be created.
-Said file object will read in a number of files from a specified file path.
-A dataset will be created and populated with fields from two columns within a database table; app_id and company_name.
-The script will read through the file names and fields recorded in the dataset, renaming the file to the app_id if the original file name contained the company_name.
The code I have so far to do this:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Create the file object
Dim objFSO
The problem is that currently this code will only rename the file if the file name and company_name match exactly, ideally I'd need to include a clause to make it rename if the file name is "LIKE" or "contains" the company_name.

I have looked around the forums and found a few discussions on this, but none that address my issue.
I want to rename a folder of jpgs with their datetime original from the exif meta file. The line: My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(foundImage, NewPictureName) does have the all the right info: the original file folder and name; and the new picture name - it just doesn't actually do the task.
Here's the sub:
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
lblSelPath.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
For Each foundImage As String In _

Currently working on a project to automate the input based on the Summary file (xls format)
1. I want to be able to do the following: update, append, delete and populate the records to the various files based on two distinct fields, column A & F (see attached file).
2. Researched the process, requires knowing VB codes, are you familiar with this language? If so, how can I simplify the process? Please advise.
3. The files will reside on the SPP.

I have a VB.Net 2005 application that is using the DriveListBox, DirListBox, and FileListBox Controls. What I am trying to do is select files from the FileListBox and rename them. I'm thinking I need to use the FileInfo object but not sure how to combine that with the FileListBox. What would be the best way to do this?

i am currently creating a quick and easy way of renaming files in a specific folder, what i need to do is create a program that will populate a listbox with the names of all the files in a specific folder, then i need to be able to select each item in the list box and rename it with whatever i type into a textbox, but it also needs to rename the file in my selected folder with whatever is typed into the text box...
I have done the initial bit which populates the listbox with the names of the files in my folder:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("\c:TestFolder")

So this is what I have right now, I can get it to copy But I am wanting to rename the files with the date inside of the new Directory name, It is going to be used for making a copy of outlook.pst files. But as you can see I can't put in concrete names of where to save it because I want the user to be able to choose where to save it as it will be saved on a server with folders for each individual user.
Public Class Form1
Dim Folder1
Dim Folder2
Dim FolderBrowserDialog1 As New FolderBrowserDialog
Dim FolderBrowserDialog2 As New FolderBrowserDialog
Dim currentDate As Date = Date.Now

I have started reading guides and such on how to use it and all but the reason I have gotten into it was simply because I need to write a program to rename every music file in a folder to randomize it because my mp3 player plays files from the filename and from first to last.
There are a lot of things I hope to add to this program later such as writing every filename into a document along with the number associated with it and when randomized again I would like it to redo the number according to the new random number, not to mention opening a directory to work with.
For now I just need to rename all the files in the folder the program is in to randomly generated numbers.

I have around 1300 jpeg's that need to be renamed based on the value in an excel spreadsheet.
What I need to be able to do is parse each jpeg in a directory, compare the filename to a list of names in a column in the spreadsheet and if it exists, rename it with the corresponding value from the next column and then move to the next file and so on and so on.
I have the following code for opening the spreadsheet and reading the files but am not sure how to compare the spreadsheet values to the filenames and then rename them:
Code:
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.IO.File

I have a program that will rename files that the user selects. The problem is even though when you go through the whole process, and it works successfully, it doesn't rename every file.To all people new to vb, try not to code like this as it is about the worst way to use a loop. I was in a hurry last night so i took the easy way out [code]Again, bad coding practices throughout the whole project, but the program will probably only be used by my dad so it will do.Note that the form: "Name and Ext" will not be shown when the program is all finished. I only had that visible for now so that i can check to see that everything is executing correctly.

I have to rename a bunch of folders in different directories. What I would like to do is type in a directory and rename/move files into another directory. I have 4 txt files right know, one for the old file names, one for the new file names, and 2 for the directories.
I planed on importing the txt files into 4 arrays and then using the rename function to change the directory going through a loop.
Problem is I'm very very new to VB and have no idea how to import each line of the txt file into the array.

I currently have these group of files I want to rename:
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile1-1111.doc
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile2-1111.doc
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile3-1111.doc
C:Users medinaDocuments estenviromentTestfolderfile20-1111.doc
I have a text box on my form where a I would enter a string of text which will replace the '1111' to whatever the string is in the text box field.
So for example, On my app, in the text box field, I would enter 2222, then when I click on button1, it will rename file1-1111.doc to file1-2222.doc, file2-1111.doc to file2-2222.doc, etc.....
This is my VB code I currently have:

I'm quite new to VB.net (and VS 2008), so I'm afraid my question might be basic, but I'm not sure how to solve it.I have a winform with three textbox fields and a button. All textbox fields must be filled before the user can click the button to continue. To this end I would like to disable the button as long as there is at least one empty textbox.
If I had only one textbox field, it would be easy for me to do. In the Textbox1_Leave event I would check if Textbox1.Text is not empty and if so, set Button1.Enabled = True.But what should I do if I have three textboxes? Have three event handlers, one for each textbox? Or is there a way I'm not familiar with?

how i can implement below requirement using asp.net and vb.net.I have three fields in a form which are filled by users. Based on these three values, i need to auto-populate the 4th field.I have planned to implement this in the following way.Write a separate class file with a function to calculate the possible values for the 4th fields based on 1st 3 inputs. This function can return some where between 1-10 values. So I've decided to use drop-down for 4th field, and allow users to select the appropriate value.Call the above function in onchange function of 3rd field and take and use the return values to populate the 4th field. I'm planning to get the return values in array field.(Does this need a post back?)

I have a database with a table that is a child to many other tables. I am using this child table as a datasource for a datagridview. I am using comboboxes to display specific fields in any parent tables, instead of the user seeing the foreign key. Everything is fine. However, I would like to filter the BindingSource based on text matches between any of the fields in the child table and the corresponding fields of the parent tables.

I am having issues understanding why it is that a text box that has been bound to a dataset correctly updates that dataset when the text in the box is manually changed i.e. by changing it using the keyboard but the dataset does not recognise the change when I change it in code.Am I missing something obvious? The text is changed in code when the user clicks on a command button that copies the text from another textbox on the form to this textbox.
[Code]...
As i mentioned, manually it works fine but when I use the comman button to change the text it does not recognise that any changes have occured.

I have an iSeries query in VB.NET/VS 2008 that I need to run with 2 separate values of a same parameter and present in a report for A/B comparison. In other words - I want to see a report where the result of a run with parameter = value1 is on the left, same query with parameter = value2 on the right.My initial idea was to use 2 tables on a report where each table would be based on result of each run from a DataSet (xsd), but I seem to be only able to specify the parameters on the ReportViewer level, which means I have 2 identical tables instead of A/B cases.
Obvious second way was to create 2 separate reports, each with its own parameter value and get them as subreports onto a main one. However, both subreports show up with "Error: Subreport cannot be shown". Is there a way to catch an error to see why?What is the best way (a.k.a. best practices, industry standard, whatever you want to call it) to create this kind of A/B report? I was well sure that there is a well-known method to make this work, but to my surprise I haven't found anything except multiple copies of MSDN articles.

I have a combobox which is populated from a dataset (pulling values from the column Actuator_ID). When an item is selected from the combobox, I need to return another value from the dataset (column Gateway_Channel). In the 'selectedindexchanged' sub, I have the following line which should return the value from the second field (gateway_channel) but whatever item is selected in the combobox, only the value from the first row is returned.
errBox.AppendText((ds.Tables("Actuators").Rows("Actuator_ID" = ComboBox3.SelectedItem.substring(0, 2)).Item("Gateway_Channel")).ToString

I am trying to create a spreadsheet based on a filtered Dataset. The problem is I cannot connect to XL. I get the following error:
Warning1Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'Microsoft.office.interop' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.
From these lines of
Imports Microsoft.office.interop
Imports Excel = Microsoft.office.interop.excel
Another issue is I only have XL 2000, and I won't be able to get 2003 anytime soon. 2003 is what the target computer is using. I would like to develop the app with 2000 and make the appropriate changes to 2003 when I get upgraded. I couldn't get any information on the 2000 PIA here: [URL]. After reading this: [URL] it almost seems like I don't need the 2000 PIA. Many of the techniques described in this document involve the use of IAs for the Office applications.
For Office 97 and Office 2000, you can autogenerate these IAs using TlbImp. Office XP includes pregenerated (and optimized) IAs that you should use instead of autogenerating IAs. An IA distributed by the owner of the original COM server is called a primary interop assembly (PIA). You should always use the specific version of the IA that matches the version of Office you're targeting. I just want to develop the app. Then I can download the 2003 PIA, right? I would use this: [URL].
