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 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

I wanna write a program that renames multiple files at once.I wrote the code to rename only one file but i can't figure out how to do it for multiple files?I have created 3 textboxes ,one to display the location of the file, one to Write the new filename in, and one to name the file extension.
Try
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text & TextBox3.Text)
TextBox1.Text = ""

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

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 want my VB program to look in a folder and rename files, stripping any "#" symbols from the file names ie change "data#01.sdb" to "data01.sdb" (there can be upto 99 files in the folder numbered in the range 01 to 99)I have put the following code in my program
Sub Rename()
Dim sName
Dim fso

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 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.
View 1 RepliesI 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:

In VB6, there were these two controls that could be used to select folders and files from a particular drive on the system. In VB.NET there is the OpenFileDialog control to do the same thing. I'd like the drive, folder and file boxes to be permanently on the form rather than a pop-up as is the OpenFileDialog control. Is there any equivalent control to do this, or does it need to be done with code and listboxes

I'm trying to put together a simple file renaming tool which is an addon to another program. In the main program, the user loads file names into a list box then selects them and does certain things with the information. There is also a picturebox on the main program that will show a thumb of the file image.The renaming addon will go into that same folder and rename those files. When the original file names are in the list, the renamer program malfunctions on the filename(s) that are selected and or the file being shown as an image in a picture box in the original program.It's like a file sharing error, though that isn't what it says. It just refuses to rename a couple of the files and I assume that is what is happening.Is there any way to have the original program allow the renaming, then refresh the list? Or in the alternative, how can I get the original program to "let go" of the files so the user can rename those files without the hiccup, then possibly refresh the list with the new names?
View 1 RepliesI made a vb.net project called "TestProject" and I set it to save in the directory "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\TestProject" I want to rename my project to "CompletePC", along with the folders the project is stored in. so the name would now be "CompletePC" and it will save in "C:\Users\USER\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\CompletePC" I want the name of everything to be "CompletePC" ?So far I changed the assembly name and Root namespace to CompletePC in VB.NET and outside of VB.NET I made a new folder "CompletePC" and dragged every file into it and deleted the old "TestProject" folder, I then went into my project folder and changed the project name to CompletePC. I then deleted every file i could find with the name "TestProject" after previously saving and compiling the now named "CompletePC" in VB.NET. (saving and compiling should have made new files with the name "CompletePC" thus rendering any file with the name "TestProject" useless.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to update an .exe using vb. The main app checks for an update, and if it finds one downloads it. Next it call another app, and quit. The 2nd app tryes to rename the 1st and rename the downloaded file to the name of the 1st. I'll explain in code... (app 1 and 2 have a manifest requiring administrator access UAC).
App 1: myApp.exe
- Check for update, if exist download it like myApp.ex_
- Then call App2 and exits.
App 2: update.exe
Threading.Thread.Sleep(6000)
Dim filename As String = "myApp"
'Delete myApp.old if exists
[Code]....
I could also determine that the problem isnt related to permitions, because i can from update.exe write files in c:program filesmyapp.
Is it possible that App 1 remains "connected" with update.exe, and update.exe cannot rename, delete ou move it?
Well, this time my target is to add and rename Tabs with tabcontrol, e.g.
I have a form and have added a TabControl to it and in the TabPages i have added RTB's,now i have also added a button which should add a new tab page to the TabControl, the thing is i know how to add a NEW tab but i also need to have a new RTB in each New created TabPage and after i create a new TabPage i wanna add the Title of that New TabPage. To add New Title to the New TabPage i have created a New Form in which i placed a TextBox so that that text that i type Into that TextBox should appear as the New TabPage Name.
Here's some code i tried, and i know that there's missing something and i know that the code may be written wrong but that's all i know, unfortunately?
Code:
Private Sub AddNewTabTool_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AddNewTabTool.Click
Dim rtb As New RichTextBox

I am using Process.Start to run a command line application. The log for the app is automatically saved in a predefined location that I can not change. Also, I can not specify the name of the log.I need the log to go to a specific directory and the be renamed. I thought I could do it this way:[code]When I run the code, it tells me that it can't fin the file "Test2.txt". When I isolate the code and only run the first part, it moves the file to the second directory just fine. It only errors on the RenameFile line.

I have 20 items (various well materials) on the form. Each item can change in rank from 1 to 20 depending upon the current future pricing. I need to add the name of the Material to the Label and then store the GUID of the material in the Tag Property. The user can enter quantity wanted of one of 3 conditions Junk, Good, New. I've got it where I can save the data from a static form - in other words I control sequence from 1 to 20. However, the users want it to show the materials based upon the daily changing sequence of future pricing. In other words material1 may in sequence 1 today but sequence 5 tomorrow and sequence 15 the day after, etc. The field LOLSeq is automatically updated at 4:00 am each morning before the users start. I can organize the data set by the sequence but I am unable to cycle through the dataset and load the info into a changing label. Labels are named Label1 to Label20 and I have tried such things as
Label & "rowndx" & .Text and a dozen combinations without any luck. My code is below and of course as it stands everything goes into the first label. Any assistance is appreciated.

View 2 RepliesI'm making an art program involving 8x8 squares on a grid, but there are 64x64 grid square PictureBoxes for each grid square. Meaning there are 4096 picturebox squares to be setup.

1.I want the user to be able to select a Picture by clicking a button which will then open an OpenFileDialog (Opening the my Pictures Folder without the user having to navigate there.)
2.When selecting the picture and clicking on save the picture must automatically be moved and saved to a folder in My Documents called "My Recipes".
3.At that same time the picture must automatically be renamed using the Title and ID of the record being edited ending up with a name like "Nick's Milktart 237.png" (preferably with a space between "Milktart" and "237").
4. The last step to this process is that a link, URL or hyper link (I'm not sure what this is called) to this picture in the "My Recipes" folder must be created in a SQL database.
I have built this utility to upload/download files to an FTP server with a few options which will be taken from a command line. One of the options is going to be rename file. But this would be done on the remote side.
Basically, only tmp files will not be caught has hazardous on this FTP site during upload. So the file gets uploaded as tmp and will need to be renamed to .zip and vise-versa.
I know how to do this locally as it is not hard to use the moveto function, but how would I do this assuming, the ftp stream is already opened and read/write access is properly granted?
