Scan Directory For Files?

Nov 23, 2011

I am working on a small music player software that runs from the thumbdrive and does not need to be installed. The problem is that when ever i scan the directory for files, it will not scan unless I am running it on a computer that has previously compiled the code. Regardless of whether visual studio is installed or not. Below is the rountine for the scan that is not working. It seems to stop at the 'ForEach ti in hi.getfiles'.

UserInput.Close()
Dim Found As String = ""
Dim C As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyMusic
Dim Directory As String = My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory

Scan Folders And Files And Add Them To A List?

Mar 7, 2011

I'm getting ready to take a class in VB.NET and I had a friend ask me if I could make a little something for him, so I said sure not knowing what it was at first.

I know I can use a GetDirectories() to list all the files/folders in a given directory. The part I'm not to sure about is how to list them with list headers of Path, Size, etc, and have them sortable.

Select A Directory And Move Files From The Directory

Apr 8, 2011

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.

Reconcile A List Of Files And A Directory With Subfolders/files To Find Changes?

Jun 3, 2010

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:

For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next

[Code]....

Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

Get Files In A Directory?

Sep 17, 2009

I am trying to get the files in a directory and display them in a list box. I have that part working, but I would only like to show the files that are NOT hidden. I am currently using this:

Dim atts As FileAttribute = CheckDirectory.Attributes
If (atts And FileAttribute.Hidden) = FileAttribute.Hidden Then...
this is part of a for each loop.

But is there a way to only return the files that are not hidden, instead of having to check if they are?

I also need this to see how many files are in each directory so I don't have to count each file in each directory within the current folder. If I use the CheckDirectory.GetFiles().count, it counts the hidden files to.. A for each loop is just too slow..
