VS 2008 Strange Recursive Directory Copy
Mar 19, 2009
I am using the following Recursive Directory Copy code, and am having a strange issue. I am using this to copy and directory and all subdirectories and files to removable media (flash drive). Everything copies perfectly fine except for 1 file. this occurs on the same file every time and sometimes the file copies successfully, but other times it does not.The problem file is a 7-zip archive with a .7z file extension.When it does not successfully copy, the file is only 8 bytes on the flash drive.[code]

How best to cancel/kill a recursive folder copy? I am looping through a number of pathnames in a list box and then recursively copying all files and sub-folders to a backup location. Suppose the user wants to cancel for some reason. I have checked that I can detect a click on my "cancel" button in a timely manner (DoEvents sees to that) but how can I stop the recursive file copy without ending the program? [code]

I have been working with getting a recursive directory list function going and an attempt that I was considering doesn't seem to work.As it doesnt seem to return all folders.
Public aFolderList As New System.Collections.ArrayList()
Sub recurseDirs(ByVal sPath As String)
Dim dirInfo As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(sPath)
Dim subDirs As DirectoryInfo

I wrote some code yesterday which shows a directory listing of an FTP server and if you click on a folder it will show that directory and their is a back button. But I dont think it is efficient and I can tell there will be a lot of errors.
Imports SylentUpload.Utilities.FTP
Public Class Form3
Private DirectoryHistory As String = "/"
Private DecryptedUsername As String
Private DecryptedPassword As String

How would you put in that if a folder on the directory i'm copying from is, says, "windows" then to skip it?
Usage:
' Copy Recursive with Overwrite if exists.
' RecursiveDirectoryCopy("C:Data", "D:Data", True, True)
' Copy Recursive without Overwriting.

I have the below code that (not sure exactly where I found it) I am trying to add a recursive rename to all files in the directory. Currently, this code only does a folder at a time, however, I need it to go through all the folders and change all files.
Private Sub StripXfromBeginning(ByVal strip As Integer)
Dim JustFileName As String
Dim attributes As FileAttributes
GetFileArray()
For Each fileNameToProcess In FileList

I'm hoping to improve the performance of the below as well as return the GUID of each user.
I've converted and modified the code found here for searching through groups recursively to get all the members and their details and adding them to a class collection. However I also need to capture the user's managers details so I'm calling the AD twice for each user. This doesn't seem efficient as many of the users will have the same manager. It would seem logical to get the distinct manager details from the collection class and call only these, then replace them wherever they occur in the collection.
I'd also like to be able to get the user's GUID, I've tried accessing it directly as a property of the collection, but it doesn't return anything.
I'm using vs2005 and .Net 2.0

I am trying to write code to save (in a text file) a list of folders/files that are contained in a specified folder. I want the list to be formatted to illustrate the folder tree structure by indenting sub-folders and there related files according to their relationship to the base folder.
I found and incorporated a recursive function for listing file & folders. This works fine for generating the list, but I am having difficulty with code to determine the sub-directory level relative to the base folder. the code that I have included below sort of works.......The problem seeme to be when going from a folder that is multiple levels up? from the base to one that is only one level from the base. Refer to my sample output. This should not be as difficult as I seemed to have made it, but recursion kinda blows my mind.
Code:
' The following function call is in a button handler
GetFilesFolders(txtBaseFolder.Text)
Public Sub GetFilesFolders(ByVal path As String)

I am currently using a recursive function to retrieve all the files/folders within a directory.Sometimes this takes a while. I am wondering if I am able to calculate the total number of files/folders within a directory before retrieving the filenames so that I can implement a progress bar?

VS sets your project up with the default directory structure: ...indebug which also seems to contain some other files besides your dll (I assume these are related to the debug symbols, etc).So how do you set it up to copy your dll to another directory when debugging?Right now, I'm having to manually copy the built dll with every run and that's getting to be a bit annoying.I'm using VS 2008?

So i have this code that will rename one of the folder:
FileIO.FileSystem.RenameDirectory("C:Program FilesYahoo!", "Yahoo!1")
but when I run the code..it say's: IOException was Unhandled
Access to the path 'C:Program FilesYahoo!' is denied.
I think the OS is the cause of the problem. because in Windows 7 it asks for permission to change the name.
How could i make the program to continue renaming when the log in user is administrator.

I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?

Recursive File Copy based on file extension. I have a single root folder that contains numerous folders that contain a few files that I want to extract. For this example, lets state that I want to copy all �txt� extensions and put them into a repository folder.

I got kind a mystery situation. There's not a lot of code, only few lines but the point is that it only works partially (it saves but does not load).
I tested it with another cmbbox1, which makes it work on seperate cmbboxes but not on either one or onother on their owns.[code..]
I got other cmbBoxes with titles on them loaded from the DB and they work fully, only this one doesn't.what should I look at?

I have a program that looks for a file named 'license.dat' upon startup. The program first checks the directory it's in, and if the license file isn't there, it prompts the user to select the license file with a file browser dialog. I have tested this code and confirmed it working in a number of different OS environments.Recently, I received reports from two users (one in Germany and one in Italy) that the program can't find the license on their computers, even though it is present in the program's directory and they manually selected it with the file browser dialog. The only commonality I'm seeing here is a lack of English OS, but beyond that I'm stumped.This is the code I'm using:
If System.IO.File.Exists(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "license.dat") = False Then
File dialog code goes here
