How can I list all files on my C: drive?This is what I've tried:
ListBox1.Items.AddRange(Directory.GetFiles("D:", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
But it gives this error:
Quote:
No access to the path D:System Volume Information.The error was translated from Norwegian, so might not be completely correct.
How would I list all files inside a drive?
View 3 Repliesi have this right now:
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(TextBox1.Text)
Dim aryFi As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.*")[code]......
and that displays only the file name, like text.txt but i want it to display C:/Text.txt and all the files in the subfolders too, like C:/Program Files/Test2.txt but i just get test.txt from only the c:/ .
I would like to list all files of a partition such as "C: " and put them on a listbox , I tried but it didn't work ... i said that maybe it was because of the privileges , here's a snapshot containing the code, the form and the error: [URL]
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to make a small app that reads MFT from a NTFS drive and lists deleted files and their names. The code is not ordered since its not finished yet. I made it basing on information a read at ntfs.com and some other examples found on the net. But the problem itself is the following. I have hard disk with to NTFS partitions, the main one having 250 GB and the second one having 1,5 GB. If I execute my code on the smaller drive, (using D as parameter for readfile api), I get the list of all deleted files exactly (I checked it with a recovery file app).
The problem is when I execute it on the other drive (C where Windows is installed, 7 if it matters), the problem is that I cant find any deleted file!!. The code gets all the files from MFT and then saves in a string variable only the deleted ones, I found that after deleting one file, it also disappears from the MFT (at least using my code). So, there may be some other way in which NTFS marks deleted files? As you see in my code, I iterate through the MFT entries and, from those that start with FILE, I take bytes 22 and 23 (0 base) and evaluate, if its value is 0 then its deleted, otherwise, it isn't (its a file or directory I think).

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?
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.
This is what I put so far:
vb
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click FileCopy.CopyFiles("G:SharedSFMachinesTemp&HumidityTracking", "C:Richard's Stuff") End Sub
I'm making a program which will open .rtf files into a rich text box by pressing a button. I can't seem to make it work. I'm trying to make the Go Button on Form 1 open the selected rtf file and put it into the rich text box on form 2.
Dim file As String = (destination)
ReadFrm.ShowDialog()
My.Forms.ReadFrm.bookrtb.Text = file
Nothing seems to happen It's trying to read from the C:\Program Files directory.
I'm using this code to retrieve the list of files from a FTP server
Dim request As FtpWebRequest = WebRequest.Create("[URL]")
request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential(username, password)
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails
Dim response As FtpWebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Dim responseStream As Stream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As StreamReader = New StreamReader(responseStream)
messagebox.show (reader.ReadLine)
It gives me alot of information that I dont need, I know that I can use:
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectory
Which only retrieves the file name but when I try to change it, it gives me an error. Error number 550. ListDirectory so I can only get the file name?
The code uses dynamically backgroundworkers which all workers great, but with one problem. If you were to look at line:
For Each folderPath In File.ReadAllLines("file path here")
You would see that it loops the text file, and starts background work.
The problem is that it does not list the files in order.
For example were you see "file path here" that were you put the file path.
The text file itself would look something like this:
C: est
C:VB
The program starts listing file from the C:est then goes back to C:VB then back to C:est.
I know the reason why, but I can't stop it. I tried pausing that code inside the loop, but with no luck. How would be able to list the files in order?
vb.net
Private filePaths As New List(Of String)
Private workers As New List(Of BackgroundWorker)
Private Sub GetAllFiles()
For Each folderPath In File.ReadAllLines("file path here")
Dim worker As New BackgroundWorker

I have a range of strings (Basically filenames) and I want to strip them down. Basically I load a list of files (path/clubs/) and it lists them into a list box as club1.adf club2.adf etc. I then select club1.adf for example from the list box, and hit a button. The button then loads path/club1 into my application. So basically I want to split the .adf from the club1. Something like the following, I imagine?
