An email can be saved to HTML. When saving it to the name test the file test.html is created and a directory test_files with files in it. When deleting test.html with the windows explorer the directory is deleted too. When deleting test.html with the vb command System.IO.File.Delete the file is deleted but the directory isn't. Is it possible to delete the html file and directory with one command?

View 2 Replieswhat is probably a very stupid and basic question, I'm new to Visual Basic I currently coding a program which deletes specific files that are part of a game. It finds and deletes all the files in the "program files" directorys but there are also certain files in My Documents that must be deleted.
The problem is the filepath to My Documents includes a username which is unique to different users, meaning on any other pc the program will not work.
The path on my computer is: C:UsersShaneDocumentsElectronic Arts
How can I get the program to find this folder on other computers? I'm totally lost.

AIQ is a VB.Net app deployed via ClickOnce. It is an intranet app; one can be sure MS Office 2003 and the interop 11 dlls are on the target machines.
Restrictions: MAPI is out. It mangles the HTML. Since it is a ClickOnce deployment, we can't register dlls (I think, correct me if I am wrong). Therefore CDO and COM is out (again, I may be wrong.... I would be happy to be proven so).

I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS

View 3 RepliesI have a text file "deleteme.txt" in the directory
"c:\users\john\temp".
If someone else had that text file on their computer but their user name 'john' was different.. such as
"c:\users\mary\temp"
What would be the code so that that text file will be deleted from that directory under any user name? Like for example you have to go through 'john' in order to get to my "temp" folder... but when I put in "%temp%" it automatically took me to my temp folder.. can I use something like this to be able to delete a file under any user name?
Like maybe something along the lines of:
dim filetodelete as string
filetodeletev="%temp%/deleteme.txt"
if system.io.file.exists(filetodelete) = true then
system.io.file.delete(filetodelete)
But this code doesn't delete the text file 'deleteme.txt' from john or marys computer. What would be the correct way to do this?
I'm using Visual Basic 2005 Express. I've got a simple problem, I need to read 20 numbers, between 10 and 100 inclusive. As each number is read it should print, only if it is not a duplicate of a number already read. I should be using a 1 dimensional array that is as small as possible.I went ahead and made the 20 numbers random, instead of just plugging in numbers into an initializer list.
