i am working on an application that would copy files from one location to another that is thru network, i already tried using File.IO and Webservice but still copying huge/large amount of files is veryslow. also, my boss asked me to save base64 strings to database and connect to the database and regenerate the file, but when i tried saving a total of 100Mb Files, when im querying it in the database it still takes atleast 10-15min just to query it..
View 3 RepliesI'm developing an application which relies on several files to be copied over to a specific location on the users hard drive ("C: est") when they run the program for the first time, and am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to account for the fact that the original location may be in a different location for each user.
Any ideas for either getting the path where the files would be and then copying them to the desired destination?
I have an app that will need a file repository located in a subfolder in my program's directory. For example: c:program files (x86)myapplicationmyfiles But, I need to allow the user to be able to change the location of this subfolder if they wish to store them on a network drive etc..

View 1 RepliesTry to understand:
1. User Downloads Application
2. User copies files to either desktop or my documents (lets say desktop)
3. User Opens application
4. User clicks the copy button (which is then supported by the COPY code)
The problem is that the copy code supports a Location such as; FileCopy C:UsersAdminFile.txt, E:File.txt
When the user copies the Files to desktop (lets say DIM), they have a different username so if they click Copy the copy code was set for C:UsersAdmin not DIM. I would like the code to be general so whoever copies the files wherever (Desktop, C:, Documents) and they click the copy button, the file is then copied to the Disignated Location.
What I am trying to figure out is a way to copy a file and paste it in another location. So that there will be the original file in the user set location, and then a duplicate of that file in, say, the "Program Files" folder. I would also need some way to check if the file exists to, so that it doesn't keep creating a new file each time the program starts up.
to sum it up: I need to be able to copy a file to a predetermined location and check if the file exists, and if it doesn't, it will copy the file over to the location.
I'm trying to copy a picture from one location and paste it into another location however VB throws out the following error

Here's the code

Since I had some trouble with my Windows Media Player playlists lately, after moving the music from one HDD to another, I decided to try my hand at my own playlist manager / editor. I've got a few ideas that I think may make it very useful, even if it's just for myself (I'm finally starting to worry about organizing my music as it's getting a little crowded now).
