I am trying to show a list of folders then copy only the selected folders.It displays the folders correctly but copies only the contents not the folder itself, how can I correct this?

SrcFolder = (("\" & (OldPCTxtBx.Text) & "" & "C$"))
Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(SrcFolder)
For Each subFolders As IO.DirectoryInfo In dir.GetDirectories

View 4 RepliesI am having a hell of a time figuring out where I am going wrong in copying the contents of arrays to listboxes.
I am using textboxes to input team numbers and team names.
The code for that is as follows (used in a button after the data has been entered in the text boxes:
Teamname, Teamnumber and numteams have been previously declared as public variables (string,integer and integer) in a module as they are used throughout the project. Numteams has had a value ascribed to it in a previous form
ReDim Teamname(Numteams)
ReDim Teamnumber(Numteams)
Dim thisteam As Integer
[Code]....
I have had to put in the "" for the Teamname variable as otherwise I was getting an error saying "Value cannot be null". I am also not sure what is causing that.
When I do that, I get 0 in the listboxes for all the teamnumbers except the last one which is right and blank strings for the team names except for the last one which is also right.

View 1 RepliesI am currently creating a little application which will essentially backup my work I do at college. It works by me saving all my work onto a flash drive. When I run the application it will copy all the contents of the flash drive and copying to my college directory and when I'm at home copy to my Dropbox folder. This essentially gives me 4+ areas where my work is saved. Unfortunately, the college computers due to network restrictions and other problems, the use Dropbox on the college machines (I obviously can still access the website).

If I increase the capacity of a given list, or add elements until count>capacity, does this mean the program is actually copying the entire list's contents to a new space in memory (similar to redim preserve with arrays)? If so, than I have really been hurting the performance of my lists, as before I was inserting and adding without a second thought. This seems a strong restriction on the dynamic abilities of lists.

View 2 RepliesBelow is a tiny program I modified from an example Microsoft code tutorial. This program simply copies .flac and .mp3 files from one specified folder to another, and if the file is already there it simply does not copy the file. I would like to make 2 changes to the program:
How would I go about making the error handling work (i.e. not crashing the program when an invalid input is made)?Also, a big change I would like to make would be for it to copy the folder structure and all files in the original folder (At the moment, it only copies files that are directly in the original folder, not files that are in folders inside the original folder).

View 4 RepliesI have attached my code. It works in a cetain sense. Basically what this does is change the wallpaper every couple seconds. It sets the registry value for the wallpaper and then refreshes the screen. I also have it converting images from .jpg to .bmp and copying to a folder. The registry gets set, the images get copied to the folder and the wallpaper gets set as a random one(that all works). But it just displays a blank picture. If I manually select the picture from the display properties it doesn't display correctly either. I think the problem lays in the conversion process.
