VS 2005 - Delete Certain File Type From Multiple Directories Based On Days Old
May 18, 2009
I am new to VB but I do have VS2005 and I was looking at some code examples here on deleting files by days old and I need to do something similar, I would like to start a say C:myData**.xit and search through all sub folders under myData and move all the .xit files based on days old into a temp folder. Then I could verify them before I delete them manually to be safe. So how do I loop through all sub folders? and can I just modify this code to do that? Here is the code I was thinking about starting with [URL].
Dim files As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
Dim singlefile As String
Dim CreatedOn As Date
'Declare the counter
Dim deletedcount As Integer = 0
[Code] .....
I am trying to code a delete button for a browsing program based on data from a txt file. I have coded the buttons to sort(ascending and descending), append to the text file, search the text file, but I can not seem to get the delete function working. I am using VB 2010, this is what I have so far:
Code: Dim deleline As String Dim line As String Dim isFound As Boolean = False sr4 = IO.File.OpenText("Students.txt")
I have a date in the future e.g. 13/10/2008 I need to subtract the current date (today is the 28/09/2010) minus 7 days, so thats 21/09/2010 minus 13/10/2008, which would equal erm, 720 something ? But the current date won't always be 28/09/2010, obviously. I need the code for this. EDIT: When i said future I mean past :)
I am using Visual Studios 2005 and I am creating an application for our IT Security.Part of the program is for documents and procedures. What I am trying to do is automatically create a menu based on the folders and files. So far I have it taking into account the base folder and one subfolder level and files within it, but I want it to automatically also take into account any subfolders and files that may be added at a later date without having to replicate the code below for each new level. My code is as follows, it is very messy as I am not a programmer.
Code: Public Sub ISMSMenus() Dim clsMenuName As ToolStripMenuItem = CType((My.Forms.FrmMainScreen.TSMISMS), ToolStripMenuItem)[code]....
I wonna delete/create directorys on the FTP server and delete files. i have used my.computer.network.upload/downloadfile but i cant do much more whit that ..
I have created a custom installer in VB.Net to create directories during installation. Now I want to delete those directories and sub directories during un-installtion.
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary) MyBase.Install(stateSaver) InstallDir = Me.Context.Parameters("dir") Try Dim f1 = System.IO.Path.Combine(InstallDir, "f1") Dim f2= System.IO.Path.Combine(InstallDir, "f2") [Code] .....
But its not happening the directories and the files in the installed directory are not getting deleted.
How do you select records based on the next 10 days from todays date.For eg:Lets say I want to select records based on ReqDt = today + 10Select * from Sample1 where reqdt <= today + 10
I'm working on this program to delete .tmp files that are older then 5 days. The only problem that im running into is if there are no files older than 5 days to display a messagebox "There are no .tmp files older than 5 days". Im using VB.net, this is that i have so far.

I'm doing the following to try and determine whether display a course online based on whether its in the future or would have started in the last 30 days.
If Date.Today.AddDays(-30) >= CDate(rsData("Start")) then html += "<tr><td>" & rsData("Start") & "</td><td>" & rsData("WEEKS") & "</td><td>" & rsData("DAYSTIME") & "</td>
However this doesn't seem to work and blocks for instance the following rsDATA(("Start")) value.
I need to write an app to delete files on server Older than X days to clean up disk space. The job/app needs to be scheduled to run say once in a month. Please suggest what would be the best way to handle it? Can Windows Workflow Foundaton be used to achieve the task?
I have a question regarding multiple page printing. I know that it has to do with e.HasMorePages. I know that there has to be a condition that sets that flag to true and back to false or you get caught in a never ending print page loop. However, I have no idea where in my simple little print block here to implement that. As you can see I'm just printing a readline. Sometimes the file extends past a single page though depending on circumstances.
Dim strReader As StreamReader strReader = File.OpenText("auditlog.txt") Dim x As Integer = 10 Dim y As Integer = 10 Do While strReader.Peek <> -1 e.Graphics.DrawString(strReader.ReadLine, New Font("Times New Roman", _ 10, FontStyle.Regular), Brushes.Black, x, y) y += 12 Loop
I have been asked to transfer multiple directories and their files from one drive to another but using a different directory name i.e Source Drive equals a: and the destination drive equals s:CATE ResultsA380, plus the orginal directory and files must be added to the destination path.

I am trying to create an MDB as a temp file to save some tables and query them. After creating, I can't delete it ... Even before it is actually used. The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Dim mdbFileName As String = System.IO.Path.GetTempFileName Dim objClassType As Type = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("ADOX.Catalog") Dim obj As Object = Activator.CreateInstance(objClassType) obj.[GetType]().InvokeMember("Create", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, Nothing, obj, New Object() {"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & mdbFileName & ";"}) [Code] ..... This MDB (after all operations) is huge (+200 Mb) and needs to be deleted.
How can I calculate number of days between two dates. For example between 24/12/2009 and 29/12/2009. How can I know that how many days are there between these two dates?
How can be find out which file is going to delete when, user provides command like DELETE or SHIFT + DELETE or by programmatically gives DELETE command. Well I know about FileSystemWatcher Class, but this class doesn't provide information before delete...
I know the datediff function can give the count of the number of days between two different dates, but how can I get the count of the number of business days - i.e. Monday - Friday - between two dates?
I am trying to get the description of the type of file, based off the extension. For example, i enter "PDF" and it returns "Adobe Acrobat Document".
Here's what I did, it doesn't work.
vb.net
Private Declare Auto Function SHGetFileInfo Lib "shell32" (ByVal pszPath As String, ByVal dwFileAttributes As Integer, ByRef psfi As SHFILEINFO, ByVal cbFileInfo As Integer, ByVal uFlagsn As SHGFI) As Integer Private Enum SHGFI
I am trying to read in and eventually manipulate an 'XML-type' file. I have picked up a hobby called 'Geocaching', some people probably have heard of it, where you use gps coords to locate items placed by other people. Well, you can download the gps coors within data files from the website,'Geocaching.com' and these files are in a XML format.
There are a lot of programs out there that people offer, some are better than others, but I am not happy with the results. So, I am trying to see how I can use these files myself and create my own program to use the data in a way that I want to use it.
I have tried to use Linq, XMLdocument, XMLreader and probably a couple of others over the past week. I have had marginal sucess with each of these methods, but nothing great and I owe that to my lack of knowledge.
I eventually hope to add the data to a Access db that I am using and manipulate the info from the db.
I am attaching a sample of one of the downloaded files and if someone would have the patience to help me work my way through it, p.s. The file typically ends with '.gpx', but since its an xml and thats what the system recognizes, I added the extension in order to upload the sample file.
