VS 2008 - Copying Selected Folders Into Specified Location
Feb 13, 2010
I am trying copying a selected folder and it's contents into a specified location. Now I have managed to be able to copy the contents, into a folder using the code between "With" and the first instance of "Msgbox" with some alterations. I have also, with this current code been able to create the folder with it's name into the specified location, however the contents are not moved as well and I get a empty folder.
Public Class Form1
Private thrdCopyFiles As Threading.Thread
Private WithEvents CopyStuff As New CopyFiles
Dim AddonPath As String
Dim WoWPath As String
[Code] .....
I had to replace the first two instances of AddonPath, with AddonName.

I recently designed a web application using VB.Net and tried to copy a folder (containing multiple files) from one disk drive to another but unfortunately I didn't succeed.I tried using a file upload but that is only for single/multiple file selection however I want to select a complete folder instead of multiple files.

I want to have a small control follow the selected tree node. However, I cannot find a way to get the location of the selected node (in relation to the tree control itselfI know I could use the mouse pointer location, but I wanted the control to 'snap' to near the selected node by using its exact visible location.

I have a button I use to copy a folder from one location to another.
The code looks like this:
Private Sub Button8_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button8.Click
Const FOLDER_FROM As String = "C:Testcopy1" ' Folder to copy from
Const FOLDER_TO As String = "C:Mappestruktur" 'Folder to create above folder in
Dim newDir As DirectoryInfo = Directory.CreateDirectory(FOLDER_TO & "" & New DirectoryInfo(FOLDER_FROM).Name)
[Code] .....
Now I have a folder in my project I would like to copy to an optional location. How do I set the "Folder from" const to a location inside my project and how can I set an optional location to copy the folder to at runtime?

I'd like to start off by saying I'm extremely new to programing (3weeks) and I've come across a problem with my code. I've created a form that copies files from one folder to another. A user can either copy all files or selects files from a list box. Due to the size of the files the program freezes when performing the task. I have used backgroundworker component for copying all files and it works fine (no freeezing ). When I use the backgroundworker component for copying selected files I receive an error.
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
BackgroundWorker2.RunWorkerAsync()
End Sub

I have a directory structure as follows;
ad_folder
--folderA
--folderB
--folderC[code]....
at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.

I have a form called main with 10 number of text boxes.my second small form called popup & I want to appear right corner of selected text box. Ex - when I click 1st text box, I want to appear the popup next to the firs text box, then I click 2nd text box I want to move popup to 2nd text box.
so I used
New Point(10 + Me.Location.X + SerchTextBox.Width + SerchTextBox.Location.X, 20 + Me.Location.Y + SerchTextBox.Height + SerchTextBox.Location.Y)
the problem is I have large no of textboxes & difficult to changed each textbox name each place.
If I can get selected textbox coordinates X & Y its easy & compact. How can I find selected text box location.

I am writing a program in VB 2010. My computer is an E Machines dual processor Intel Celeron running at 1.8 gb/sec with 2 GB of RAM. I have a 1680 X 1050 display and the graphics driver in the computer is fully capable of utilizing this display. I am running Vista Home Edition.
The purpose of the program is to analyze a large number of infrared and visible light images from the geostationary satellites GOES East and West. Note: These images are TIFF and range in size from 400 KB to 70 MB. The pixels are either 8 bit or 10 bit depending on the image type.
The program allows the user to select a series of images from a file folder. These images are then displayed in a picturebox. A map covering the same area is also available to the user. The user may then move the cursor, via the mouse, to a selected location on either the map or in a picture. With a left click that location in terms of image coordinates is used to compute the geographic coordinates of the selected location. These coordinates are then displayed for verification purposes. So far, all of this works properly.
The next thing I need to do is to determine the brightness value of selected pixels in the displayed image. Because brightness is related to temperature this permits a detailed examination of cloud temperature and density in each image. By making this measurement at several different wavelengths (provided by images taken at different wavelengths) the program will then compute the atmospheric extinction factor at each selected wavelength and from that derive the atmospheric transparency function.
Here is where I have run into problems. I cannot find a way to extract the pixel value from the selected X, Y values input either by cursor position or by direct entry. I have tried the various approaches described in the documentation but I either get errors or a pixel value that is unrelated to the image. The following is a section of code that I am currently trying.

I was using this old method of creating a bunch of rectangles when I need to get the location of a certain point within a grid so I could draw images on the grid. The thing is, I don't want to use rectangles, I want to be able to just round the location as if I were using rectangles. I need it to be able to round the point (66,70) to (50,50) so if you can imagine a grid and the mouse position being within that square in the grid, I need to get the location of the upper left corner of that square.

I have a combobox that drops up instead of down. I'm setting the selected item to the one on top of the list. I'd like to move my mouse pointer to point to it, so that the user that wants to click on that item doesn't have to move his mouse. I found how to move the pointer, it is with this command:
Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = New System.Drawing.Point(x,y)
but I need to know how to get the location of the selected item in the combobox.

Dim sourcePath As String
[Code]....
But when I run the program, it works, but it does not copy the entire folder in the application startup location.. how I can copy that folder that is in the same location as my program to a user selected location?

I have seen lots of examples with a treeview to list folders then display the folders context in a listview.
But what id like is a checked treeview, that not only displays the folder list, but the actually folder contents as well.

I have been building a program recently that makes accessing information easier, mostly for definitions to words for school. It works effectively so far, it searches a first site for a word entered into the textbox, and if a 404 error is recieved, it navigates to the next site and serches for the word. however, i would like that if the definition is found on the first sit (e.g. no 404 error is recieved) than when i hit a button (btnCopy) it will copy from point A which is the word "Definitions:" (yes, the colon was on purpose) to point B the word "Synonyms:". This copy will hopefully not include Point A or Point B, nor require any prior knowledge of what will be found between the two points.

I don't have muc experience with backgroundworkers, but this is basicalmly what I want it to do:
- Copy files from a list
- Add Succes/Fail to a listview
- Report Progress
Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_DoWork(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.DoWork
'2 groups
Dim Succes As New ListViewGroup("Succes")

Is there a way to copy files where it gives you the option to overwrite all and show graphically the files being copied, in much the same way when copying files within windows.What I have at the moment is this:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(DataDirectory.DataSource, BackupPath & "Restel.bak", True)
For Each FileFound As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(SystemDataPath & "", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*.rtf")
FileName = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetName(FileFound)
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(FileFound, BackupPath & "" & FileName, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs, FileIO.UICancelOption.ThrowException)
Next
which overwrites automatically or shows it graphically prompting each time if the file already exists.
