VS 2008 Delete All Files From The Downloads Folder?
Jan 8, 2010
I'm using this code to delete all the downloads from the download folder.
Dim strUserDir As String = Environ("USERPROFILE")
For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(strUserDir & "\Downloads", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.*")
My.computer.filesystem.deletefile(foundfile)
This app is just for me to use.The reason why i'm making this app is because i downlaod a lot a files and i want an easier way to delete them.

I was wondering how i would go about make my program loop threw files in a folder and if that file is .jpg it will delete I use this to see if the file exists and delete it
If System.IO.File.Exists("file.jpg") = True Then
System.IO.File.Delete("file.jpg.jpg")
End If
but how would i do a loop and grab every .jpb file so they can be deleted

I've set up a basic loop to delete all the files in a particular folder. I've set the loop in a Try block so it doesn't crash the application when it gets to a file it can't delete. I'd like for the app to just pass over these type of files. At the moment, my loop stops completely when it gets to that exception.

I need to know how could I move all files inside a folder (for example: C:Folder1) to another folder (for example: C:Folder2), but not delete Folder1 and get how many items have been moved, let me explain;
I need to move all items inside Folder1 (files, folders, sub-folders, sub-files, etc) maintaining directory structure, but without delete Folder1, and if its possible know how many folders and how many files have been moved (only the number of folders and number of files).

The MSDN Express Library 2008 suggests the following example to delete all of the files in a folderFor Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles( My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchAllSubDirectories, "*.*")
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(foundFile, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs,FileIO.RecycleOption.DeletePermanently)NextI would like to adapt this code to delete all the files in a folder of my choosing; for example, all the files in c:msdnimages. But I'm not getting anywhere.Would someone be kind enough to explain how to substitute c:msdnimages for SpecialDirectories.

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.

I'm writing a small application that downloads some files over ftp, the incoming directory is monitored by FileSystemWatcher_Created, on creation I want to extract some text from the file and call another application with the text as parameters the problem I have is the FileSystemWatcher_Created procedure is triggered before the file has finished downloading, I could download it elsewhere and move into the monitored directory but some of the files may be quite large and Im wondering if there is an efficient way of waiting until the file is ready? along the same lines what is the best way to queue the tasks as there can be many files coming it at one time, I've looked at threading but would that be suitable for such a task as there will still be a bottleneck at the application called by FileSystemWatcher_Created ?
heres an outline of what im doing:
Private Sub FileSystemWatcher1_Created(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.IO.FileSystemEventArgs) Handles FileSystemWatcher1.Created
'read text file

Assuming I have a folder structure like:
[Code]...
This works fine, unless I have Windows Explorer open and I'm looking at the 'MySubFolder' directory. Then I get an IOException The directory is not empty. - clicking OK dismisses this and then the folder structure is not deleted. Any thoughts on how I can get this to perform correctly (i.e. delete), even when running this code while having the folder struture open in Windows Explorer?

Basically I have a known folder that is going to have some pictures in. All the pictures will be bmp for now (hoping to change it to jpeg shortly) and this directory will only contain that and nothing else.Basically I have a PictureBox on a form (pbImage) I also have a Next button and a Previous button.What I want to do is when the form is loaded read that directory and display the first image in the picturebox. Then using the Next/Previous button go through the images.I don't know how many images will be in the directory and I don't know what the names will be.
