Select A Root Directory And Search All Sub Folders

Nov 28, 2011

I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.

Copy Folders On Root?

Nov 15, 2009

I'm trying to copy the directories located on a root drive (J:) to another location (c:vagtilleder..)The problem is, the first folder isn't beeing copied.Example:

J:
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2

After the copy it should look like this at the destination:

c:vagtilleder..
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2

But for some reason, "rootfolder" is not created at the destination, making the destination look like this:

c:vagtilleder..subfolder1subfolder2

where the error is located? OS: Win XP Pro VB 2008 Express.

Dim copytardir As String
Dim copydestdir As String
copytardir = ("J:")
copydestdir = ("C:VagtBilleder" & StrInput)

Creating Folders In System Root - No Sufficient Privileges

Jan 11, 2010

I am trying to create a new folder in C:\Windows\System32\oobe but I cannot get sufficient privileges. Here is the bit of code that has the error
' I have "CreateDirectory("C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds") in the Form load sub
Sub CreateDirectory(ByVal Path As String)
Directory.CreateDirectory(Path)
End Sub

And then in Form Load I have:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
CreateDirectory("C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds")
End Sub

It keeps saying I don't have the privileges. Is there any way around this? I also need to put files in that folder later on.

.net - Cannot Load File From Root Directory

Jun 15, 2012

I just made my first .net website. I'm trying to use the following line of code to load a file from the current directory ( same diredtory all the web files are in). I get a error saying file does not exist

InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("installerform.html")

I copied the file to my c drive and chnage the line to

InstallFormTemp = My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("c:installerform.html")

it worked, but now my site has to run a godaddy's webserver, so I cannot save stuff in the c drive, just my web directory.

How can I get My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText to read files from the websites current directory?

XML To LINQ Start The Search From Root?

Oct 29, 2009

So far I don't got problems searching elements for example , the next block of code will load the xml file and then will search descendants ("recordinfomation") which is a parent element in the XML file and returns child elements ("title", "aut_FirstName, "aut_LastName, and "xmllink") . My question is I would like to start my search at the root of the xml file and search all parent elements and not a specific one and return what I am returning in the following code. In another words search the whole document for specific child elements.

Dim XDoc As XElement = XElement.Load(MapPath("App_DataBookstore.xml"))
Dim elements = From row In XDoc.Descendants("recordinformtion") _
Where Regex.IsMatch(row.Element("title").Value, strfirstterm,

Populating ListView With Files And Folders In A Given Directory?

I want to show a list of files and folders (names + their icons) inside a given directory with a ListView control or equivalent. I understand that ExtractAssociatedIcon gives you the icon of a file, not a folder. So what are my options for this objective? I don't really have a problem if I have to separate folders and files like the following.

Dim fi As New IO.DirectoryInfo(f) 'f is the path of a given directory
For Each subfolder As IO.DirectoryInfo In fi.GetDirectories()
ImageList1.Images.Add(My.Resources.FolderIcon)

Delete Directory (Skip Access Denied Folders) ?

Jul 22, 2009

I'm fiddling around with a small program that can delete a directory, including its sub-folders and files.This is the code I'm using: (Note-I found it on the net, I didn't code it myself)

Private Sub filedelete(ByVal filename As String)
Dim filesystemobject As Object
filesystemobject = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject")[code]..........

So on click of button '2' the folders are cleaned out, and on click of button '3' they are deleted - it works great.Now the problem is, if any of the folders in the directory 'test' are not accessible to the current user, the program throws the exception 'Access to the path is denied.Is it possible to skip folders that are not accessible, and just ignore them, and delete the ones that are accessible?What code needs to be added to enable this ability?
