Update Existing Folder With New Updated Files?

Jul 6, 2009

im having a problem with replacing some files in a folder, i have made a Auto Upater for a application im making (so beta testers can test it and also get updated stuff to test) now i can replace the Main application.exe with

If File.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe") Then
File.Replace(Application.StartupPath + "\update\test.exe", Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe", Application.StartupPath + "\test.exe.old")
End If

This is after i have unziped the main update.zip folder it downloaded

but i also have a Data folder in the Main application folder and inside the new update\Data folder its has updated files now i cant list all files to replace like above as i want be replacing all files all the time, so im looking for something like you have on windows (would you like to replace files) without the prompt its just replaces them, so really im looking for a move and replace without prompting

i have tryed

Directory.Move(Application.StartupPath + "\update\Data", Application.StartupPath + "\Data")

and

Directory.Move(Application.StartupPath + "\update\Data\", Application.StartupPath + "\Data\")

but it errors saying the folder exists and i cant delete the folder as it will have files in that DONT need updating

Spotting Only Updated Files In A Folder?

May 30, 2010

OK, I'm writing an application to in effect publish (convert) files from folder A to folder B. There's a lot of files so I don't want to do them all each time, but instead just the files (in folder A) that have been updated/added since the last run. I know on files there's an archive flag. Is that fair practice to use that for such a purpose? To check it to see if a files been modified/updated? And then for my application to clear/reset it when I've 'published' it? Or are there other methods? Obviously things could be done on modified date, but this seems open to obvious problems...

Folder To Store Application's Temporary Updated Files?

Aug 18, 2009

I have created an updater for our clients application. The way the updater works is to download all the updated files and store them in a temporary folder then check the file hashes. If everything is ok it will copy the files to the applications installation folder. Once this is been completed it will delete all the updated files in the temporary directory.

My problem: I am looking for a directory that will be available for XP, Vista, and Win7. I was thinking about the 'temp' directory.

VS 2008 Obtain CRC32 Checksum Of Files Within A Folder Then Rename Files And Folder

Mar 4, 2010

in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

How To Search For A Folder - Database That Gets Updated About Once A Month

Jan 16, 2012

I can figure out how to do this, but Im not sure what I should be looking for. I have a database that gets updated about once a month, and when it does, it changes the name of the database file to match the date and time the new database was created.

The file name always starts with DB and the rest of the file name structure is DBYYYYMMDDHHMMSS (After the seconds, the file name is the same for all of the databases)

There are a few things I am trying to do.

1.I want to be able to search the update folder for whatever database is there

2.Trim the file name to return the database name as DBYYYYMMDD

3.Search the local database folder for the specific file name and return it in the same format as the update

4.Compare the two file names and choose which decide if one is newer than the other based on the date

What I need to know is what this would be called and what I would need to use to accomplish this.

Parameter Update Reports 1 Row Updated But No Data In Table Added

Oct 13, 2011

I am getting an incorrect repsonse after an update to a table. In my RowUpdating event I have the following code which builds an Update Parameter to call an SP to update a table. I must be doing something wrong but everything runs fine. My rowsAffected variable reports 1 after the update, but the table never gets the data.[code]I found a solution that is working. On the original DataSource for the update command I needed to add the following.[code]This in essence allows the original data source to call the SP. Note: that the command type needs to stay as TEXT not Stored Procedure as one might think.

How To Clear Existing Folder

Oct 14, 2009

How can I clear an existing folder with vb.net? I already searched the internet, but the code I found only deleted the files and left the subfolders in place. Of course I could delete the folder and immediately recreate it, but in a next stage I want to delete specific files (for instance: .lng files) and leave the other files alone.Perhaps those will be two totally different functions.I recently stopped good old vb6 and the above actions could be done with two look alike functions.

How To Copy Or Move Existing Project To A New Folder

Jan 22, 2012

I am developing a fairly complex vb.net program with numerous forms, and custom classes, modules, etc. I want to start reorganizing the various folders for components of the program and have a few stupid questions.For one, I find that I cannot take a working executable and move it to a different folder on the same machine and have it work. My program drives numerous slave applications and I would like to group just the executables in a common folder. Do I need to carry additional files along with them to make them 'portable' on my own machine? I haven't discovered how to copy or move an existing project to a new folder. Things seem to blow up because of internal project references etc. Is there some way of copying or duplicating a working project without problems resulting?

Searching A Folder For Audio Files And Adding That Folder To An Array?

Aug 23, 2010

So I've been using some code to generate directories and such in a custom treeview, but am looking to expand upon this idea. While it's not using recursive functions, and only calls functions when expanding levels, I'm not quite sure how to put some of these together.find a way to just search through all folders on the PC. If the folder contains audio files, that folder is than added to an array (searching a folder for audio files and adding that folder to an array is done). It's just recursivly searching all folders on the PC.Here is the code I've been using for the treeview (I'm not sure if it can be adapted):

Public Function ListAllDrives() As String()
Dim arDrives() As String
arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....

dim Folder as string Folder = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly.Location)

And I need to create a new file with this name Key.txt in the same folder as the console application. Because this file name is rather normal and there is possible duplicate in that folder. How do I prevent duplicate file name while still using simple name for that file?

DGV Update - Allow Users To Edit Existing Records?

Aug 17, 2009

I have a DataGridView bound to a non-SQL Server database. I need to allow users to edit existing records but under certain circumstances I need to intercept the edit and instead of committing and updating the dataset I need to delete the edited record and re-add it as a new record. I have tried using every event I can think of to do this but haven't managed to get it right.

The closest I have got is with this:
Dim theRow As DataGridViewRow
Private loading As Boolean = True
Private rowLeft As Boolean = False
Private WithEvents cm As CurrencyManager
Dim copiedRow0 As String
[Code] .....

This almost works but sometimes completely messes up and re-adds rows twice and all kinds of other bad side effects. It seems a really simple thing to want to do but I just can't get it working.

How To Update Records On An Existing Access Database

Sep 28, 2009

how to update records on an existing access database using vb.net with just a textbox and a command button and how a specific record of a field can show up in a label or a textbox

i connected vb.net to my access database by just clicking on "add new data source">>"new connection">>"microsoft access database file" and just continue..tested connection and done.

you can see in the screenshot of my form, by default the left side textboxes are disabled but they're enabled if the user checks the checkboxes and disabled again if unchecked.

assuming that the textbox is already enabled and i want to enter a value in the Brewed Coffee area of the form...for example 5. when i click on my Submit button the value of that particular record in the database will be updated, so in my table the value of the quantity field in Brewed Coffee will be 5.

another thing is that how can i see a particular value on a label or textbox from my database like on the Prices area. in my database if a product's price is 80 then it should show a 80 in the label. the values of the prices from the screesnshot of the form are not the ones on the database xD i just typed them in.
