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.

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)

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.
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?

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.

View 2 RepliesI 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.
