View 3 RepliesThe sub below will show all of the directories contain with a directory
Code:
Private Sub showDirectories(ByVal rootDirectory As String)
Dim rootDirectories() As String = IO.Directory.GetDirectories(rootDirectory)
[code]....
When I run this code I can use any directory as the root directory except My Documents.When I use the directory path with My Documents, as well as finding all of the folders contained in My Documents, it finds three extra: My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. Those three folders do not exist at all in My Documents. I have checked hidden files and folder and they are definately not there yet the showDirectories() sub says that they are.The exact error is: Access to the path 'C:UsersMichaelDocumentsMy Music' is denied.It's dened because the folder doesn't exist. I have checked myself using Windows Explorer!Despite this, when I type 'file:///C:/Users/Michael/Documents/' in the address bar of Google Chrome, it shows all of the files and folders in My Documents and, guess what, it shows the folders My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. But Windows Explorer doesn't show these! The strange thing is, for each of the folders, the last Date Modified was 23/01/2011 13:42:49 exactly. Each of the folders was last modified at that exact second simultaneously!I have 3 "ghost" folders "haunting" my My Documents. Is there any programs out there that perform "exorcisms" cause I am seriously freaked out!Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this. When I started writing this thread, it was about Visual Basic but now I realise it has nothing to do with programming at all.
Dim myObject As Something There I defined my variable myObject of type Something. But, as you can see, I am giving it no value yet. Sometime on runtime I want to check if myObject is holding a value or not. I tried this: If myObject <> Nothing Then But apparently I can't do such comparison.
View 3 RepliesI've been trying to add a database to my interface, and i can't seem to filter the data, i want to search based on last name and only display people with the that last name (the last name will be entered in a search form).I've tried writing SQL Queries but I can't seem to pass the variable that that holds the last name into the SQL Query, to filter the data.

I have a DGV.It has some columns.The columns are in the correct order e.g. 1,2,3,4 at design time.When I start debugging and then come back to VS, the order of the columns have changed and I have to put them back in the correct order everytime.After some testing I have realised it only occurs if
1) I make a change on the form that holds the DGV
2)Leave the form open in VS while I play the application ie. debug.
Let's say I have a custom class called CustomItem that holds the Name and 'SomeProperty' properties:[code]Now, on the click of a Button, I want to select the CustomItem whose SomeProperty is equal to "Property 4". Of course, this is just "Item 4", but the names and properties are not that correlated in the real application than they are in this example.I have spent ages a long time ago figuring out how to do this. I could not directly set the SelectedItem, because I first need to get the CustomItem that actually matches my condition (SomeProperty = "Property 4"). My solution was to use a loop, looping through each item in the ListBox, and setting the SelectedItem when the right property has been found.[code]Now, is this the correct way to approach this problem? Is the LINQ query correct, or can it be done easier, without the casting? Also, is the LINQ query faster than the For loop, especially for a large amount of items? I expect it to be, but I don't know how to test this.

Example:
I have directories.txt who contains:

But not: my.computer.filesystem.fileExists("for each one")
This is currently the code I am using.

The above code reads all the files & directories in a selected path. It ignores any hidden folders, like it suppose to. Except it doesn't ignore folders inside of the hidden folders that it finds & I need it to.I can't quite wrap my head around how to make it ignore all folders & files inside of a hidden folder that it find.
there is a way to turn the following code into a sub so I don't have the same boilerplate show form code in use a thousand times in a program:
Example:
Public InstanceOfFrmGeneric As frmGeneric
If InstanceOfFrmGeneric Is Nothing Then
InstanceOfFrmGeneric = New frmGeneric()

I have recently published a simple text editor(just as an exercise). the editor has been published using Microsoft Visual Basic Express. Once the program is installed i wanted to make it a default opener for .txt files, so i clicked openwith ->Choose default program and then i was asked to show the location of the .exe. It seems like the .exe of my installed program doesn't exist. where the .exe is on a windows7 or tell me of another way of makeing that program the default opener.

I need to upload a large set of files and directories to my web server, all of the files that I want to upload to my server are located in "C:Files_To_Upload" directory, it contains thousands of files and maybe 100 directories/sub directories so I don't want to have to specify each specific sub folder and file - jmcilhinney's ftp example which I am currently working with shows a way to upload all of the files from a specific directory, but not subfolders and their files. How can I get it to also upload the sub folders and their files?

It searches through your whole C: for the file you entered. Although the problem I get is that some directories get access denied or not existing directories.
I need to figure out a method to execute a task once my method to delete specific directories has completed.
Does anyone know of an event or property that I can tie to event to in order to do this?
