I'm learning VB and having a few problems with getting a list of all folders/directories on the system. I'm using the code included here and it seems to work until it hits the recycle bin folder, and some other system folders..[code]
View 2 RepliesI have a program that uses the Folder Browser Dialog... I am currently using it to GetFiles and list them in a list box... Currently, it searches directories and subdirectories to get files with a specific patter. I would like to either have the files show with their paths, or return a list of the directories to work with later on... Using the Get Directories method I beleive it creates an Array but I am unfamiliar with how to manage the list it returns. I am also having an issue when the user selects cancel the code continues running for the get files method and throws an error.

I have a textbox that is used to add directories to a system folder, each name seperated by a line. If the textbox has text value "Test " that is "Test" & controlchars.newline & "" (not like this is coded, it's typed in), then if i use loop for each part as string in textbox1.text.split(controlchars.newline), the first part will be "Test", the second part will say " " when i run step by step debugger, but if i try and block the addition of a folder by "if part = " "" it does not catch it. I've tried comparing part to "", " ", nothing (which is illogical anyways), and i even tried creating a boolean variable equal to the statment to try and catch it but the program insists that part is not " " even though the debugger tells me that is the value of part.

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.

it just creates 1 folder but not other folders with in folder.

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:

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've tried my.settings examples and the arn't working such as:

How would I be able to make a variable that holds the value of the directories that exist in the C:?

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??
View 1 Repliesin 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 trying to make a simple program to list a directory and sub directories on an ftp. I haven't found anything simple to do this other than a dll made for ftp commands. There are two problems with that dll, the first is I can't get recursing through directories to work right and it has a trial period. So I'm wondering if there is a simple pure VB way to simply list directories on an ftp. The dll I've played with is ChilkatDotNet2.dll.
View 4 RepliesI am now convinced there is no such thing using VB 2010 Express. I have read, re-read, studied, copied and pasted code to no end and all I get are error messages galore. It appears there is a big gap between what's on line as far as tutorials and the code that VB 2010 Express will accept. I hate to sound so lost but at the moment I am. I used to program in BASIC and QBASIC. I was a master at opening up ascii text files, reading them in sequential order, sorting, manipulating, then re-writing them. It was all so easy, like this: [code] That's all I want to learn how to do for the moment. But every tutorial or article I find goes off in to wild tangents about How to Manage Directories or it reads the entire text file into one giant object. Or worse, there's some code which looks promising but it won't run under VB 2010 Express or it might run but the author leaves out important parts of the code that have to be declared ahead of the subroutine....you all know what I mean. It can't be this difficult to just read a text file one line at a time, therefore it shouldn't be so difficult to find an accurate and up to date article on this.This is for really rough programming. I don't need an interface of any kind. The user, will not even need to know that anything is happening. I simply want to read text files, manipulate what's in them and then re-write the edited text.
