View 13 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.

Basically I have a known folder that is going to have some pictures in. All the pictures will be bmp for now (hoping to change it to jpeg shortly) and this directory will only contain that and nothing else.Basically I have a PictureBox on a form (pbImage) I also have a Next button and a Previous button.What I want to do is when the form is loaded read that directory and display the first image in the picturebox. Then using the Next/Previous button go through the images.I don't know how many images will be in the directory and I don't know what the names will be.

I have searched and found many articles and code that writes a directory structure to an XML file. However, I'm not having much luck finding/altering code that gives each sub folder a different name. I'm trying to put into XML a folder full of audio files. They are music - artist - album - file. Music is the root folder and file are the audio files but every piece of code calls artist and album the same name. eg

View 4 RepliesI have following code somewhere in my VB.NET 2008 program to create an array of files found in a folder:
Dim objFolder As New IO.DirectoryInfo(strXMLImportPath)
Dim arrXMLFiles2Import As IO.FileInfo() = objFolder.GetFiles("*.xml")
...
UpdateFileQ(arrXMLFiles2Import)
[Code] .....
When setting "option strict" to on, I'm getting following error on the line:
lbFileQ.Items.AddRange(dirlist)
Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'AddRange' can be called with these arguments:
'Public Sub AddRange(items() As Object)': Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from 'System.Array' to '1-dimensional array of Object'.
'Public Sub AddRange(value As System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.ObjectCollection)': Value of type 'System.Array' cannot be converted to 'System.Windows.Forms.ListBox.ObjectCollection'.
Although everything works fine with option strict set to off, I'd like to correct this problem. Also note that array "arrXMLFiles2Import" is used later on in the program, so I can't change anything on that.
I've created a Setup project (in VB.Net 2008 Standard Edition) and I need to deploy some .rtf files in a specific folder for the user to edit. I've added these files to the project as content files but the Setup project installs them in Program File/MyApp along with the exe. As these rtf files need to be found easily by the user I need to specify a different folder on the hard drive. These are not mdb or xls files so are not used by the app itself. All the user needs to do is find them manually loading them into MS Word for editing. I don't need to load MS Word from the app, but I do need to deploy them so the user has access to them. How do I edit the file path so it does not bury them in Common Files or the User App Data or app folder itself? Ideally, since these are rtf files they could go in My Documents. (The app itself will work whether or not these files exist elsewhere.)

So I've been using some code to generate directories and such in a custom treeview, but am looking to expand upon this idea. While it's not using recursive functions, and only calls functions when expanding levels, I'm not quite sure how to put some of these together.find a way to just search through all folders on the PC. If the folder contains audio files, that folder is than added to an array (searching a folder for audio files and adding that folder to an array is done). It's just recursivly searching all folders on the PC.Here is the code I've been using for the treeview (I'm not sure if it can be adapted):
Public Function ListAllDrives() As String()
Dim arDrives() As String
arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....
