VS 2008 Creating/Changing Directories?
Dec 25, 2011
I'm having trouble creating a new directory for a registration form. When I try to execute this, the directory stays the same as it was and I have no idea what the issue is. I've tried altering the If statement in a few ways to try and produce the same outcome, but I can't figure a solution.
Private Sub OK_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles OK.Click
clearVar()
txtUser.Text = newUser
txtPass.Text = newPass
If (Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & newUser)) Then System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & newUser)

I'm creating that sets up project directories based on a template and also allows users to select folders from the template to add to a selected path (their project dir). I've got everything figured out as to creating the directory initially except for 1 thing that ties into another (stick with me here). I'd like to create the directories based on a text file or some sort of config file. Essentially, I would have a text file that contains lines like:
oot
ootsub1
ootsub2
[code]....
etc. Then when I create the directories, I can create them based on these lines. I think I can figure that part out myself. Where I'm stuck is on comparing the selected dir to the template dir. Right now I have a treeview control with checkboxes that is populated based on a path that the user selects from the folderbrowserdialog. What I need to do is compare the selected directory with the directories in the text file and if the directories exist (match) then they are checked. If they don't exist in the selected directory then they are unchecked.
If a user wants to add a directory from the template, they check the box for the dir they want and uncheck the boxes for the ones they dont. Then hit apply and the app will either create or delete the checked/unchecked dirs. What's the best way to handle the template dir? Should I do the text file thing or should I simply have the directory structure setup somewhere where the app can copy the dirs from the template to the selected directory? Or should I use an ini file? I want to make the app flexible so that down the road, if they change the template layout, or where the template lives, the app can be told that. So I need to add a way for the users for example to choose the template directory (but not everytime!) or specify the path that the template dir txt file lives.

I'm creating a program that creates new directories and subdirectories in the "C:Program Files" folder, and the operation fails if the user has the User Account Controls enabled in both Windows Vista and Windows 7. Is there a way I can give my application permission to automatically create these directories without requiring the user to turn off the User Account Controls?

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]....

This is currently the code I am using.
Dim fileList As Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String) = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(FolderDialog1.SelectedPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly)
For Each topLvlFile As String In fileList
[code]....
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.

I have an application which (On press of a button) creates a new file (Newfile.exe) i would like the user to be able to specify the new files version info etc... I have tried a DLL called Flash Dissasembler which I did not like.

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?
Code I am using based on jmcilhinney's threaded ftp example:
Private Sub UploadFolder(ByVal source As String, ByVal destination As String)
For Each file As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles(source)
Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(AddressOf UploadFile, _

I have this small file search engine here made in VB.NET:
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
ListBox3.Items.Clear()
ChDir("C:")
Try
[code]....
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?
I've been looking through MSDN, but I can't seem to find anything at the moment.

I have a button ad a list box, the button when clicked lets the user select a directory on the HDD, and then the app is meant to list all the sub directory's of that folder int he list box. However I cant seem to get it to list just the sub directory names, not the full paths, and also to only scan by 1 folder deep (selected foldersub folder).

It's the first time I'm using an API.The problem I have is how to use the directories and sub-directories as I need them.

I'd like to know if there are other ways to write a submission program (submitting urls or pad xml to directories, submission sites, blogs) other than using the webBrowser. I've evaluated some shareware programs that submit urls or data very quickly, like 100s in a matter of mins. I couldn't write a program using a webBrowser because it might take 15 secs just to load the url. How are they writing the code??

I'm searching for a way to change the font size of selected text in a RichTextBox (rtf) having different font families (e.g. Arial and MS SansSerif) and font styles (underline, bold...) using the FontDialog, but without changing the families and styles. The following code resets all the font attributes, which is not what I want:

I've read alot where users have disabled the UAC or tried to set the level higher in the manifest file. My application uses a control that requires admin user rights and I'm trying not to have it prompt the user each time. I read more about using the Impersonate another user in Windows for vb.net. Would using the impersonate user method not prompt for admin and give the user admin rights as long as it has the username and password? I hate to disable the UAC - not good at all!

I am working on a a program that uses a textbox to display data from a telescope. Normally the data is standard ASCII characters, but there is one time when the data is displayed as blocks to indicate the number of degrees to go. The textbox font is set to Sans Serif in the property box. When I show the blocks, I want to switch to Wingdings. I have searched how to change the textbox font and tried several ways found, but none of them work. I know that the textbox will handle Wingdings - I can set the font property and it displays correctly.
The most common method I have seen is: txtDisplay1.Font = New Font("Wingdings",26.0, FontStyle.Regular) ,but like all the other methods tried, the font never changes.

I'm trying to change the look of some controls in VB.An example would be a button, I now have a stack of 4 images on top of eachother. By using the mouseover events and such, I get the same result as a normal button. However, I'd like to be able to insert those images into a normal button like thing.
I know it's possible to do this by creating a custom control, but that'd end up with the exact same code, just in a different file.
However, the real issue would be a dropdown box and slidebar. I'd like to get them to look nice with my theme. (Background, buttons, borders. Things like that..). I got absolutely no clue on how I should do that.
I know that there's a tool to create controls, but that's from scratch and I can't get a grip on it, at all.
