I ran into a problem trying to delete certain text files. 99% of the time everything works fine but every once in a while I get a problem trying to delete certain text files. The exception thrown has a lot to say so here's a screen shot of it. :

Try

I was thinking that maybe if you tried to send the file to the recycle bin it would always allow that. What would the correct code for :
My.Computer.FileSystem.SendFileToRecycleBin(StringForTextFile)
I have a routine that will check a text file for a line to be deleted and deletes it when found.

View 3 RepliesI am writing a simple program that I'm going to use to end a process and then delete a folder with its contents but, I am running into some errors when I try to delete an .dll file using Kill. I would have figured this out on my own but its being weird.
1. If I run the .exe it doesn't delete it and gives me and error
2. I i run the .exe as administrator it doesn't delete it and gives me an error
3. If I run visual basic 2008 as Administrator and then execute the program it works.
4. If I try and execute it again as Administrator under Visual Basic it doesn't work and says I don't have sufficient access.
What I am trying to do is End a Process so that I am able to delete the folder, the folder contains and .dll which is being stuborn and saying I don't have sufficient access to do this.

what is probably a very stupid and basic question, I'm new to Visual Basic I currently coding a program which deletes specific files that are part of a game. It finds and deletes all the files in the "program files" directorys but there are also certain files in My Documents that must be deleted.
The problem is the filepath to My Documents includes a username which is unique to different users, meaning on any other pc the program will not work.
The path on my computer is: C:UsersShaneDocumentsElectronic Arts
How can I get the program to find this folder on other computers? I'm totally lost.
An email can be saved to HTML. When saving it to the name test the file test.html is created and a directory test_files with files in it. When deleting test.html with the windows explorer the directory is deleted too. When deleting test.html with the vb command System.IO.File.Delete the file is deleted but the directory isn't. Is it possible to delete the html file and directory with one command?
View 3 RepliesI tried searching for this issue but the search gives me a database exception and I'm kind of at my wit's end. I'm sureEver since I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional I've had constant build problems with VS 2008. I can't use the Hosting Process (not that I normally do) because at build I'll be notified VS could not copy a support file (the hosting exe). In addition, every time I build I'm told my previous exe is in use by another process and cannot be accessed. My only recourse is to manually delete the file. That works a few dozen times but eventually Windows stops letting me delete it and tells me that I require permission from an Administrator to make changes to the file (I'm the administrator, stupid machine).

View 1 RepliesIs there anyway to change the default appdata program folder?
i have a class to serialize my settings, and i just want to save them to:
appdata/roaming/[programname]/settings.xml
but when i use the filesystem.specialdirectories.currentuserappdata(something like that) it give me appdata/roaming/[company]/[programName]/[Version]/
i don't want any of that extra stuff, especially since new versions won't be able to access the old settings.
I am trying to access the "AppData" of a user on a remote computer. I have all the rights needed. I tried this:
r = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.Users, MachineName)
r.OpenSubKey(SIDValue & "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders")
AppData = r.GetValue("AppData")
The fact is that it retrieves my own appdata folder...Actually the SID Value of the account on the distant computer and on mine is the same (I am under a domain). I don't know if it is the reason why I get my own appdata folder.How should I proceed?When I browse the HKEY_Local_Machine, I manage to have information about the remote computer..But not when browsing HKEY_USERS.
I have an xml file I parse to get a path to some other xml files that I then want to parse and read values from. I am fine to get the path from the first xml document and fine to parse the subsequent documents.Where I am struggling is implementing the path. It is being stored using system level variables like:
%appdata%my_appconfig
When I try open the file like this:
xmlConfig.Load(userConfigFile)
It tries to start in the application working directory - assume c:emp So the error message I get is:
Could not find a part of the path 'C:emp\%appdata%my_appconfighive.machine.xml'.
Is there a way I can use this pathing structure in my VB code or determine the actual fully qualified path programatically?
how do I do this properly:
vb
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[code]....
I would like to store some app data in a 'default system folder', so when I launch the program it will know where to look for it's own settings.As a matter of fact I only need to store there a path to the files used by the program. Users will be able to choose where to put them (simplified installation). The program has to know where to look for them.
Am I creating the folder properly? As you can see I'm referring to C:... The folder structure presented here comes from my laptop running on Windows 7 Ultimate. Maybe the C:... can be somehow defined by some sort of a system 'shortcut'. Following the above example the program would look for those in C:... , but maybe I can use something like ~~ default.app.settings.My Program Name ~~~. How does it work? Have no idea how to call it properly, but I'm sure you will know what I mean.
My application (vb.net) sometimes throws an "access denied" exception when attempting to delete files in the AppData folder and I'm not sure why.I confirm that the file exists before attempting to delete it and have not done anything to make it readonly, etcThe interesting thing is that it seems to go okay when I'm logged in with Admin rights
