VS 2010 - Building Comprehensive Directory / File Listing
Apr 11, 2011
Where to begin trying to research building a program that can inventory a program and then build a spreadsheet where I can name tabs based on directory names and then color them according to their level in the directory tree. The number of directories and/or total number of files shouldn't be a limiting factor if possible. I would also like all subdirectories to be after the tab for their parent directory.
[1] [1a] [1b] [1b1] [1b2] [1c] [2] [3] [4]
I'm working on a Win 7, Office 2010, and VB 2010 Express machine. The purpose of this is to assist with our data retention policy at my company. I want to split up directories on the tabs to make it easier to search and then employee's can go into certain directories to make files they used for a project so those can get archived and the unused files can be deleted.
All I am trying to do is write a simple program that will let me choose a directory and get a listing of all files in that directory and its sub-directories and show it in a RichTextBox. I got as far as being able to select the directory but when I click "OK" I get "access to c:documents and settingsstevedesktopmp3 is denied".The code I am using is listed below.
I'll tell you what I'd like to do which is to create a directory listing of every file inside a specified directory and then use a loop to upload each file in this directory to a remote folder via FTP.
how to get a listing of a directory file, listed by bytes in basic? I'd like to how write a dump utility and no not of any particular diectory. I am interested in dumping directories in general.
I'm trying to find an easy to create a hierarchical directory structure that I can put in a TreeView, with two caveats:
1) The file list is from a file
2) The paths are un *nix format (e.g. /dir/dir/file rather than c:dirdirfile)
I found this ([URL]) which would do what I want...if not for the two caveats above. I can go through the process of tokenizing the paths and start creating linked lists of objects for a directory structure, but before I do that I'd like to find out if anything else is available...
I have an app that reads a directory to get the filenames in a directory for each File in Directory(process file) next file. I want to know if the file size makes a difference to the time it takes to get the filenames.eg if a folder contains 10,000 photos of 1 megapixel and another has a folder of 10,000 photos of 8 megapixels will it take the same time.
There's lots of code samples around to get a list of webcams (or other video capture devices) in VB.NET:
Declare Function capGetDriverDescriptionA Lib "avicap32.dll" (ByVal wDriver As Short, ByVal lpszName As String, ByVal cbName As Integer, ByVal lpszVer As String, ByVal cbVer As Integer) As Boolean
[Code]....
I have two webcams installed on my PC but I only get one entry: "Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)".
If I run Skype > Tools > Options > Video Settings I see "Logitech HD Webcam C270" and "Microsoft LifeCam VX-2000". I can click on each camera and it's output is correctly shown in the preview window.
how to get this full description of each camera device? Having done that, I will need to be able to select that device as the source for my image grabbing routine. Perhaps each entry can provide a GUID?
I am using the following to get an array of a directory. I was recently told that I needed to process my files in date order.
Dim filelist() As String = IO.Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(CustomerDirectory, ConversionWildCard) For Each filename As String In filelist 'do conversion here Next
I need to write a process which filters out 'old/dead' job files from a directory (actually two directories). This process needs to 'read' a number pattern (in a fixed position) off the filenames (for which there will almost certainly be duplicates), and having then 'got a list' of unique number patterns, give these to a function (which I already have) which will give a boolean, from which I can decide to either delete those files whose name contain this particular number pattern or not - this is intended to be run each night (windows task scheduler). Example directory content is:
[ode]...
I know I can get a listing using Directory.GetFiles(dirpath, "SUB_*.xml") but am stuck on how to go about the rest.
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 [Code] .....
I have a small program that reads a network drive and produces a simple text file with the names of all documents in the directory - it works great. I need to modify this and add the "subject" property to the listing, such as: DOCUMENT NAME SUBJECT
how would i go over an external directory listing (like an external computer that i am connected to through winsock or likewise) with a server and client..i would like to hear some suggestions on what libraries to use also (winsock, unolib,...)I need this for a school assignment so help is more than welcome. I'm planning on letting the client download files from the server through this directory listing or something likewise..it doesn't matter really if it's a directory listing or something else, it just has to be user-friendly.
I am trying to retrieve file date information into an array to select the newest file from a directory. I can get a file listing but not the date information by useing DirectoryInfo(). My experience is with Visual FoxPro. In VFP I used a function ADIR() - which returns the directory listing and related file info as an array - is there a similar function in .net?
I wish to import all the computers listed in active directory into a list view. Then I want to run an Group Policy update on machines which are focussed on. (GP update = a simple cmd line batch).
how to pull the listing of all domains in active directory. When I use the actual Active Directory tool, if I do a search, I can select which domain I would like to search. How do I pull this listing?
Create and Maintain Telephone directories. Write a program to create and maintain telephone directories. Each telephone directory should be contained in a separate text file. In addition,a file named directories.txt should hold the names of the telephone directories. At any time, names of all the telephone directories should be displayed in a list box. After a telephone directory is selected, it becomes the current phone directory.The following buttons should be available.
I am building a program that strips out certain keywords from a much larger file. I am using code that .paul. provided in a different post, but I can't get it to work correctly. Here is the code that I am using: [code] Basically, the first match will appear in textbox2, but no other matches appear after that. I put a breakpoint at the For Each loop and checked out the locals. I am showing 2,502 matches for the variable "match." I just now put another breakpoint in there and I can see that it is stepping, but nothing is recorded.In the archive is a file named debout.txt. This file should be used for the testing.
Unable to write to output file 'D:DevelopmentJob_TrackerJob_List_and_TrackerobjDebugJob_List_and_Tracker.exe': The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. Job_List_and_Tracker
I'm pretty new to Visual Basic, do mostly web programming in PHP/MySQL. Need to pull data from a MySQL Database using Visual Basic Program I'm making. Need to when I click a radio button, it shows in text box only the results from a table with a certain trait(as set in the database) etc. For example if an item is set to a certain category. And i click the radio button for that category it shows me only items in that category. I've attached an image of sort of what I've got. I've already downloaded the ADO connector from mysql site. I just need kind of a push from there or a link to a few really good articles. Followed a few youtube videos but I was unsuccessful somehow.
I have a page in VB.NET that is hosted with IIS 7 on Windows 7 Home Premium. The page has code in the Page_Load event that scans through a directory and adds all sub directories to a drop down list. When testing through VS2010, it works perfectly. However, when I set the site up in IIS, the page loads correctly but nothing is added to the drop down list. My current code is: [Code]
I have this working but only shows printers for the current user I think, I need to see a list of all printers installed on a remote pc for all users.I think I need to use the reg keys but all samples I fnd want only for one user and seem to be vbscript not VB code..[code]
I'm trying to write a simple program to monitor a folder for new files in VB.NET 2010, and am having some trouble. Here's a simplified version of what my program looks like:
I am making a program where I want to copy & rename a file. I want to copy a file from a directory which I can choose (by OpenFileDialog1.FileName), then copy or move it to a directory. This directory has been newly made and named (progdirCollin). Let's say the file is called cv.pdf then I want it to be moved to the new dir and rename it Collin.pdf. The extensions can also be .rtf or .doc and I want them to be left unchanged. So I want to copy or move a file, rename it, but keep the extension of the file, which can be all kinds of file (vb.pdf to collin.pdf or vb.txt to collin.txt.)
Explained : 1. Put in the name of the person = V 2. Pick a file with the openfiledialog = V 3. Make a directory with the name of the person in the appdir = V 4. Copy / Move the file to the new directory = V 5. Then rename the file to the persons name, but keep the .doc / .pdf / .rtf etc = ? All V = Done
What this code will do to the copy? vb Using source As New IO.FileStream("source path here", IO.FileMode.Open) Using target As New IO.FileStream("destination path here", IO.FileMode.Create) Const BUFFER_SIZE As Integer = 1024 Dim buffer(BUFFER_SIZE - 1) As Byte [Code] .....
