I know I've asked this before and for some reason I can never remember how to do it. I need to loop thru a directory structure and for every *.txt file, I need to open it and read it. This is a little application that basically searches for a given string. How do I do this?
View 2 Repliesi have this piece of
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim strFileSize As String = ""
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:")
[code]....
and it works just fine. However, saying that, i need to find a way to loop through ALL the directory's on the "c" drive and not just the main folder.
I'm using a dialog box to select multiple files and move them to the directory "C:/Playlist". I guess you can say I'm having trouble with 2 things.
1. The Loop
2. Use of the dialogs FileNames function

I am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.String
[code].....
It's been ages since I've done any coding (not that this is much excuse for my stupidity!). What I want to do is to be able to loop through a directory and list, for instance, all of the txt files in there.I can get the length of the files with the following:
For Each zFile In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:fileloop", "*.txt", IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
MsgBox(zFile.Length)
Next
But I'm stuck on actually returning the file name.

I have a function that is giving me fits.This is designed to identify all files in a given directory (myPath), and then cycle through those files. Each file in the directory is a well-formed XML file full of name/value pairs. Here is an example of what they contain:
Quote:
- <eran-applicationmenu>
<name>Accounting</name>

I'm making a Cleaner for my PC that could delete all files with a specific name.So I have all the names in a .txt file, like:
A
B
C
D
Now I need somekind of function that would search in a directory ( The user gives the dir. in a textbox ), and its important that it would also search in all sub folders and see if there is a match to any of the names in the .txt file. And it shall not care about in what format the file is. It can be in .exe , .txt or any format.

I am only getting files in current directory. how to get all files included the directory and all sub directories?
I've got an intranet based reporting tool (VB.Net + ASP.Net Integrated Windows Authentication) that looks up users and managers from a SQL Server 2005 table to roll up the reporting to manager level. This table is currently manually maintained and I've been asked to make it more dynamic as it is going to be up-scaled for far more users. Therefore I'm looking to link in with the Active Directory to create an Org table in the back end which will replace the current manually entered one.I'm comfortable getting user data from the AD, but not so sure as to the best approach to set this up, I was thinking of the following table:
CREATE TABLE dbo.Employees
(
EmpID nvarchar(8) PRIMARY KEY,
EmpName nvarchar(30),
[code]...
EmpID will be the NetworkID (sAMAccountName).Then this will need populating from the AD, I'm guessing through recursive calls to fill in the fields. I'm then not sure how to structure the code so that it will capture every employee under every manager starting at a given level. I'm currently using the below to capture the direct reports for a given manager:
Public Function GetDirectReports(ByVal ADFullName As String) As ArrayList
Dim adItems As ArrayList = New ArrayList
Dim rootEntry As New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://" & ADFullName)
[code]...
I can't figure out how to do this...I'm trying to search a directory for files,I have files that are like this:

I am currently working on a project, which requires to download files from the internet and copy them to certain directory's... I've done the downloading part but I can't seem to get the directory working. The directory is "special" E.G. Appdata Program Files etc., and well when I tried just using %appdata% it seemed to create a new directory NAMED %appdata% rather than actually goto appdata...

I was able to extract icons from the current running processes and then put them into a ListView.
I am trying to do the same with files in a specified directory:
vb.net
[Code].....
When I use this code, I get an error stating: "'MainModule' is not a member of 'System.IO.FileInfo'." If I remove the very first line of the sub that specifies the directory, that error obviously goes away.
So, is there another method of extracting the icon? Or must I declare the directory in another way?
I'm getting ready to check MSDN to see if I can something withing the FileInfo Class,

I have it set so when button3 is clicked that the listbox displays the textfiles in a designated folder.[code]Now what I would like to have happen is a way for: Selected listbox2.item (A.txt, B.txt, or C.txt) read the selected textfile into Textbox1.text(I want to click on A, B, or C and have it just open/read that textfile into the textbox.)I have a feeling this is something simple - but for some reason I am having trouble grasping it.

I am using a webbrowser control, which is used for both internet and folder exploring. How can I determine when viewing files on the local directory, which file is selected?
I ran across something in my searches saying there was a property under the webbrowser.document called SelectedItem. But this must not be in 2008.

View 5 RepliesMy application creates a file by writing to System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "data/" & filename...Now this works fine usually, but I just added a setup utility to the app, so now it installs to the program files directory. It installs correctly and creates the data folder, however when it tries to write the file it gets an exception "unauthorized access".
View 3 RepliesI am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.
