I need to obtain a list of desktop icons and add them to a ListView. I'm currently doing this:
[code]...
It points to the direct path the icons should be located under the user profile. However, for some reason I've yet to determine, not all of the icons are in this directory.

In my application I play sound files that are located in a folder on my computer's desktop.
Const sSoundFolder = "C:UsersChrisDesktopSound"
Now that I'm ready to deploy my app, I want to reference all the audio files so others can hear them in the application.
I read how to reference them... but what I don't know:
Do I have to change the above code to some sort of reference folder in my application instead of my desktop?

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
[Code] .....

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?

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

I'm trying to create a ntier desktop application using vb.net 2008.[code]...
By the way what i want to achieve is how to get the data as a List(Of String),because if i put the getMenu function into the presentation layer directly,it gives me the data as i expected..Also if i return as a string instead of List(Of String),it gives me the single data.

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.
