I need to know what files and folders must definitely be added to source control, and what files/folders can be left out.
I know I can leave out bin/ and obj/, along with the .suo file since it's user-specific, but what about the rest of the tree?
FWIW, here's a one form + one module project:
Directory of C:ProjectsMyAppWindowsApplication1
03/10/2011 15:04 3.040 Form1.Designer.vb
03/10/2011 15:04 5.814 Form1.resx

I'm currently working on an application that allows users to select picture files and then categorize them into folders. Now I'm having two issues that are probably simple to fix but I only have a year of experience with vb so I just don't know how to fix them. The first and biggest issue is that once the user has selected and categorized a file, I want the program to select the next file in the folder that the first file was moved from. This way the number of clicks required is minimized. However I have no clue what I would need to do in order to accomplish this. Also, my other problem is that I want to be able to find the indexof a quotation mark but whenever I put it in the parameter it just reads it as a quote.

I've made a small program that creates a registry item in the users run key (basically starts the program on bootup), my question is does anybody know how to remove the item from all the users of the computer when the program is uninstalled?.
I know that all the other users registry hives aren't loaded at anyone time and feel a custom action dll that runs on uninstall that iterates through the 'documents and settings' folder loading the hives one at a time and removes the registry key.

I need help with file enumeration. I'm trying to create a program that can list files, folders and sub folders locations in a log file for diagnostic purposes. After it searches it can open notepad and display the results. The problem I'm having is that I'm a beginner and not familiar with file enumeration.

I am trying to import a bunch of excel 2003 files all with A:H columns and they are under the same headings etc. into a table in access 2003 database. This is a module in access im making. Im using a file search to look for every file that begins with Format (which they all do ) to get at all the files in the folder path. is there a more efficient way to do this? somehow select all files in a folder? and import each to the same table in access? The DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet seeems to take each file path individually so I'm not sure how to get each file name in the folder to import it.
I have this at the moment:
Sub Import()
Dim db As Database
Set db = CurrentDb

Ok I know this question has been asked to death but I still have not seen a good answer. I have created an application in VS2010 using VB.NET. In my application I have an error log that is an XML file located in the Public gstLocalErrorLogLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "ErrorLog"that gets written to in the event of an error so I can trouble shoot application easier. My application also downloads files from our FTP site and puts the files in Public gstLocalDownloadLocation As String = Application.StartupPath & "download"So I have files that get read and written to as well and created and deleted all in the Application.StartupPath which is either "c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" or "c:Program Files (x86)(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File)" depending on 32bit or 64bit Windows 7.
After creating the setup I install it on my test machine that have both Windows 7 32bit and 64bit.Everything in the application works great till I have to write to, delete or creat a file in those directories above. I know it is an access issue and the UAC. This will get installed on numerous systems so the options I have seen to change file or folder permission on the computers manually is not an option.What has to happen is after I install the application it just works like when you install it on XP. Some post have suggested that you us a user with administrator privilages or group which is all fine and dandy but the user I have used to test the application has all of that.
So what I am asking is how do you create an application with VS2010 in VB.NET that after creating a setup package and installing on Windows 7 will just work with out "Access to the path c:Program Files(Application Directory)(Some Directory)(Some File) is denied." If I have to install this on 100 Windows 7 computers it has to be a concreate no manually doing anything just install and work like when we installed on XP.

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

I have the following code which works without errors but I don't know how to implement another process as explained below:
Code:
Private Sub Daily_Collections()
'Dim query As String
Dim cmd As New SqlCommand
Dim conn As SqlConnection = GetDbConnection()
'destination of the unzipped files
[Code] .....
In the highlighted section, I move all the files stored in the path in label2.text to label4.text. Now, I want to change that for not moving everything but ONLY the files when prac_no as read from QryDailyAuto_Coll equals to Col_Prac_no. All other files should not be moved..

faster way to enumerate through a directory and sub-folders to gather all the files in the enumeration? This is what I have right now:
Public Shared allFiles() As String
allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(<ServerLocation>, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
EDIT: I am enumerating these files from a server location. I don't know if that will change the perspective of this question or not.
