It appears that when IO.Directory.GetFiles tries to read a folder that it doesn't have access to it throws an exception & stops reading. Is there any way to have skip those folders & continue reading the rest of the folders?
View 1 RepliesI have a directory structure as follows;
ad_folder
--folderA
--folderB

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.
so i will try and make this simple, im writing a program in VB 2008 and i need to search through the whole hard drive for a specific file type, in my case they are .psd files so im using this line of code:

I'm fiddling around with a small program that can delete a directory, including its sub-folders and files.This is the code I'm using: (Note-I found it on the net, I didn't code it myself)

So on click of button '2' the folders are cleaned out, and on click of button '3' they are deleted - it works great.Now the problem is, if any of the folders in the directory 'test' are not accessible to the current user, the program throws the exception 'Access to the path is denied.Is it possible to skip folders that are not accessible, and just ignore them, and delete the ones that are accessible?What code needs to be added to enable this ability?
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 use the code below to fill the list box and it works great. But i need it to only look in the \Software and \Software\FolderName Foldername could be any folder in the Software folder i need it to get all the .exe from software folder and only one more folder deep no more.

I need help with file enumeration. I'm trying to create a program that can list files, folders and sub folders locations in a log file for diagnostic purposes.

View 14 RepliesHave built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?
Is there a quicker way to check directories? For example I want to check if the folder "A Folders" contains folders from 000A all the way to 999A then lists the folder that are missing? Do you think this is possible?

I have a folder. With folders. With files (mainly .pngs).
For learning purposes, I am trying to create an application that will take that folder and "compile" it in one single data file. Like a .bin. The point is, the user can't see or edit the images... easily.
And in the future, my application can open such data file and read the folder's contents, and also display the images found within the folder (using Image.fromFile("pathForTheFile") or something like that).
Is that possible? Is it possible to "encrypt" or "compile" folders/images or even audio into one file and re-read it in a future using VB.NET?
Is it possible to add folders to resources?

This might be crazy but can I (well I know I can do this first part) and create a folder in my Solution Explorer and put classes in there, just so my main form is kept clean, as I only have a couple of forms but there is a lot of code.I thought I would call a class "Panel1_Work" and have all the panel one stuff go there, i.e I have a code which is going to sort a datagridview but i'll write my own function or sub for this as it will be getting called from a few different places.

This shows all files and folder names on the disc. If I want it to show all files, regardless of the folder they're in, is there a built-in method to do that or do I need to take an entry, identify it as a directory and then use that as my source to read the files in it?
