Searching Hard Drive For All Music And Video Files
Mar 14, 2009
I have an application and in this application there is a search option. I want the seach to search for all music and video files. I keep getting UnauthorizedAccessException error and I'm assuming its because my application is trying to access a file for witch access is being denied. This is the code that I am using.tbsearch is textbox and results is the listbox that the search results get added to.
Dim dirPath As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("G:")
For Each file As FileInfo In dirPath.GetFiles
(tbsearch.Text & "*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
results.Items.Add(file.FullName)
Next
Also, how can't I make it so that only the name of the file found is added, not the full path. I know that I could instead of using file.FullName use file.Name but then I can play the media file because the application wont know where to find it. Any code that I could use to add only the found file name to the listox? Perhaps I need another hidden listbox that get the full name and then the results listbox retrieves only the last part of the path?

I have a program that works I would just like it to be able to find the file with out me specifying the actual path. Because if it is on someone's computer other than mine the path might not be correct and it will not function properly. Here is the code I have done. The file it is looking for is of course names.txt. I have not been able to find much info on this.

The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

I have a doubt. I'd like to make a program where you can drag music files (mp3, flac, wav, wma..) and video files (avi, mpeg, mp4, vob, mov) and get the property values of this ones... For example, bitrate, KBps, size, etc, to put them in textbox or listboxes.

I'm working on an app that should be able to read files from an External Hard Drive or even an iPhone or iPod. I'm a beginner so it would be great to keep it simple :) I suppose I should use the SerialPort class? But I'm not sure and I couldn't make it work.

If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles(FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath)

Hey guys, I'm a new guy in VB.NET. I am proposing my final year project a title called music studio. My version of music studio is like real music video where we can play many sound at any time. For example, the application that I want to build can create many button and also add an audio along with it. And then, when we hit the 1st button, it play 1st audio. while 1st audio play, we also can hit 2nd button and 2nd audio is playing. for example, 1st audio is sound of man walking, and then 2nd audio is the sound of glass break. lastly 3rd sound sound of police siren play. Is it cool? so, my question is, is it possible the I can build an application by using VB.NET?

I have made this program in which the user selects a number of directories and copies them all to an external drive. is there a way to detect when the user does something that involves writing data to the hard drive. When they do, I want my application to detect this and back up that file on the external drive as well so that the back up is always up to date.

How can I get VB.NET to find the folder that begins with "17014 -"? The actual Folder is called "17014 - Mr John Smith", but I want it to search only upto the "-" (hyphen) point.
I will then use this to check if the folder exists or not.
