C# - Implement A Logic For Monitoring The New Files In The Folder?
Jan 26, 2012
I am going to be creating an application which will monitor a folder, which could be a network folder and when new files are added in that folder it will notify the application. On notification application will import those files names into a listbox and will give the option to user to organize(move) those files into a different directory.
1. I have to implement a logic for monitoring the new files in the folder.
2. I have to move it into new directory and in some cases I will have to create those new directories as user specify.
For the first step I am confused to either implement it as a windows service using FileSystemWatcher class, example can be seen here. [URL] or do a file check based on timer, lets say every 5 minutes. If I do it as a service how can the service notify application?

I'm sure this should be easy but I'm having trouble getting my head around it. I shall try to explain what I need as best I can.I have a string called SoftwareGroupName. If that string is empty, I need to run some code that logs a call in our Helpdesk. So far, so simple.I then check two other variables, AuthorityLevel and InstallType. If the AuthorityLevel is anything other than "OnRequest" then a call is logged in the Helpdesk System. Again, so far, so simple.
The problem occurs when the AuthorityLevel is "OnRequest". At this point, the application should again log a call in the Helpdesk Call with a status of "Resolved" as well as add the user to the relevant group in Active Directory.What I need to be able to do is, effectively, say "If the AuthorityLevel is OnRequest and SoftwareGroupName is not empty then go ahead and create the call and update the group. However, if softwaregroupname is empty then DON'T even try and update the group and create a call with a different status (e.g. Assigned).Here's what I'm doing so far. But it seems wrong to have to check that SoftwareGroupName is empty twice.

I am trying to make an app that launches a window(Form Window) whenever a user click a folder in Windows. My app will be running in the background all the time and it will be monitoring the double click of a particular folder.
I have found this[URl]..But the problem is that, it checks attributes of the folder instead of the double click.
Is there anyway i can check the double click of a folder in Windows?

I have to create a windows service which Monitors a specified folder for new files and does someprocessing on it and moves it to other location. I started with using FileSystem Watcher. But my boss doesn't like FileSystemWatcher and wants me to use polling on Timer or any other mechanism other than File System Watcher.

in the current project im making i've decided to add in some tools, 1 of which is a renamer based of a renamer app that already exists (called scdtoolz), i want to build my own version of it so i can learn some new things, and build a nice GUI version of it.[code]So what i have managed to determine is that the current app scans the folders contents for the CRC32 Checksum, and renames based of that, since the 456.bin's CRC32 Checksum was 2274F80B, and in the text file 2274F80B is found here 'WWF - Rage in the Cage (T-81015)(U)#2274F80B#'So now i have determined game identification is based of the CRC32 checksums, how would i go about coding a similar ap in vb.net?first i need to make the app scan a folder, but how to return crcchecksum? and then rename if check = XXXX? If MD4 sums are easier/simpler i can use those instead, im lookin at a few hash app sources now, so i think i can see how to get the md5 but not the crc32 yet, or how to rename the 2 files and folder based of the text file.

Direction with some logic using files and parallel list.. I have to create a summary of a current clients portfolio using the client id I have in a textbox. I've everything to work except the summary of the client. I have several sub functions that I can use that I've made up in my code. They are frmMain_Load that have a file and a string holding the client txtfile to a file
Dim clientFile As System.IO.StreamReader 'file of client data
Dim clientFileName As String = "faclient.txt" '
And I have two functions Private Sub GetStockData(ByVal sCode As String, ByRef sName As String,ByRef sPrice As Double) and Private Sub GetNextTran(ByRef tid As String, ByRef tcode As String, ByRef tdate As Date, ByRef ttype As String, ByRef tshares As Integer, ByRef tprice As Double). I have to add to a label,a summary tha shows the stock code, stock name, number of shares currently held, current share price and value(shares times current price). The number of shares currently help will be the result of adding the shares bought and subracting the shares sole for that stock. If the number of shares help turns out to be zero(client sold all the shares they bought), do not display the line. The program should not assume there is an upper limit to the number of different stocks a client can hold. I know is alot..But here is what I have so far..
Private Sub btnSummary_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSummary.Click
'get a summary of client portfolio and value
Dim summaryCodeList As New List(Of String) 'holds scode
Dim sharesList As New List(Of Integer) 'holds tshares

So I've been using some code to generate directories and such in a custom treeview, but am looking to expand upon this idea. While it's not using recursive functions, and only calls functions when expanding levels, I'm not quite sure how to put some of these together.find a way to just search through all folders on the PC. If the folder contains audio files, that folder is than added to an array (searching a folder for audio files and adding that folder to an array is done). It's just recursivly searching all folders on the PC.Here is the code I've been using for the treeview (I'm not sure if it can be adapted):
Public Function ListAllDrives() As String()
Dim arDrives() As String
arDrives = Directory.GetLogicalDrives()[code].....

I have created a Windows service in VS 2005 that monitors a folder for XML files, reads some data elements from the XML using XmlDocument, then copies the files to another location. I find that when I drop 2 or more XML files into the folder simultaneously, it processes them with no problems, but when I drop the same files into the folder one at a time, I will get an error on the second file: "The process cannot access the file <my file> because it is being used by another process." If I stop my service, restart it, and drop the second file into the folder again, it works the second time. I am confident that no other program is accessing this file at the same time as my service. My impression is that the processing of file # 1 is somehow not releasing all of the resources, leading to the processing of file # 2 mistakenly thinking that it can't access that second file.

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:

The application uses ADO.NET to invoke sprocs for nearly every database operation. Some of these sprocs also contain a fair amount of domain logic. The data access logic for each domain entity resides in the domain class itself. ie, there is no decoupling between domain logic and data access logic. I'm looking to accomplish the following:

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.

I am trying to retrieve file details from files in the Program Files folder. I receive an error while trying to retrieve file details.
Dim sFileName As String = ("%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe")
Dim Info As FileVersionInfo
Info = FileVersionInfo.GetVersionInfo(sFileName)
Msgbox(Info.ProductName.ToString())
I receive file not found error at 3rd line. But if I change the path from "%ProgramFiles%Windows DefenderMSASCui.exe" to "c:Program FilesWindows DefenderMSASCui.exe" it works fine.
What should I do if I want to retrieve file details from the path which includes a "%" character?
