View 2 RepliesI have a page which lists all the files in a particular folder (all PDFs), using a data-table and gridview. I'm currently sorting this table by the filename (by using a dataview), which isn't that helpful, and I want the gridview of files sorted by the file created or file modified date (as recorded in Windows). If that's not possible, a second option would be to extract the date from the file name string (no problem doing that), and sort the dataview/datatable or gridview based on that.

ReDim RollsCC(NumOfPlayers - 1)
For N As Integer = 0 To (NumOfPlayers - 1)[code]....
Here I am creating a temp single dimensional array, merging my 2d array into it, and then attempting to sort it by Rolls(N,1), which is a integer 1-6, Everything seems to be working right with the exception of this.
RollsCC.Sort(RollsCC, 0, 1)
How would one specify a numeral sort based on the first character in the string? im aware that I am switching Rolls(n,1) and Rolls(n,0) information during the sort.
In .NET, the Generics Lists have a sort function that accepts IComparer or Comparison. I'd like to sort just part of a list. Hopefully I can specify the start index, count of elements to sort, and a lambda function. It looks like you can only use lambda functions to do this if you're sorting the entire list. Is that right or did I miss something?

View 14 RepliesI wrote a cleanup program to go through some directories and delete files based on if the creation date is older than say 6 months. It works fine with some of the directories I have that contain around a few thousand small files. However, there is one directory (that contains small backup files from another program) that is loaded with over 300,000 files and it locks up on me as soon as I read in the first file in that directory.I am convinced it is the directory has too many files in it to open it. The server that the directory is on is slow. It takes a half hour to open the directory while on the server itself. I know it will take forever to delete the amount of files I want to delete, but I don't understand why it gets stuck and hangs there with no error message.Here is where I get stuck. Listbox1 is the directory I'm attempting to access

i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.

View 1 RepliesI have a TreeView in my form which suffers from slow build-time (i.e. it takes forever to load as it drills down into all subdirectories). It effectively loads a treeview control and then allows the user to select a node and populate a ListView control with the files within the given directory node. It populates based on the treeView1_NodeMouseClick event.how I can populate the treeview only down to 1 level only and still have my NodeMouseClick event work in its current form?Effectively I want it to populate down to 1 level on load and then down to 1 level upon clicking each node thereafter

I have a page with a gridview. The gridview has "Enable Editing" and "Enable Deleting" checked by default. I want to be able to "uncheck" either of these in the code-behind page_load event.
I found this SO question but this hides the whole commandcolumn. I only want to hide the "Edit" or "Delete" hyperlink based on the role of a user. How would I go about doing this?
I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?

View 5 RepliesI have a process serves as an application updater.It checks it's local cache of files and compares this against list of files online.On it's first run there are no files in the local cache and it therefore downloads ~100 of these files.[code]This appears to work very well, since Explorer confirms that all files are extracted and available.However when I later run this process again, it cannot verify the existence of 6 of these files and therefore tries to download them despite the fact that they are clearly both present and up to date.The offending code is a simple File.Exists call which appears to deny the local existence of these files, and therefore tries to get them again.The system continues to work well, but over time the continual downloading of these 6 files is going to get kind of silly.

I want to sort the individuals according to their fitness values descending.
' Declaring a structure

Each individual has a fitness function and has its own X and Y coordinates. I just want to say if individual six (for example) has the lowest fitness value then rank this individual the first one and so on for the rest of individuals.
I fought through a good amount of this and have gotten to the point where I can sort my arrays. What I need to do now is take the following code and sort the elements in descending order instead of ascending order. I don't know how to do that with the two arguments in the code:

Cols(0) = ColumnNumber + 1
Cols(1) = ColumnNumber + 2
Cols(2) = ColumnNumber + 3

I'm getting a list of files from a directory into an array, i.e.,
fileEntries.
The files names are all in this format: "xxx-04-03-2012.txt"
"xxx-09-24-2012.txt"
"xxx-12-25-2013.txt"
etc.
The parts after "xxx" are dates.
I'm trying to find the most recent/up-to-date one from these and do something to it. so I suppose I'll need to sort all these files in the array. I've been looking at the String class on msdn, not much progress..little bit overwhelmed.
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.

I made an object that has several properties one of which is an integer.
I put all the objects into a list, and I wish to sort that list by the integer property, with the object with the highest property at item 0, with the object with the lowest property at the highest item # ( count -1).
I made the list of that item, as in
Dim GameList as new list(of clsGame)
And I wish to do something like the following
GameList.Score.Sort()
What is the syntax to do that? I looked up the MSDN and didn't really understand what it was trying to say
