I need to unzip en zip some files in my application using Shell32. Right now, I use srcFolder.CopyHere(destFolder.Items()) to achieve this. However, my next line of code requires the newly made ZIP-file. But since the CopyHere method is Async, how can I check when it in finished? Right now I use a Thread.Sleep for around 500 ms which is enough for my computer to finish creating the ZIP file, but it's not good code imo.
View 1 Repliesi want to use this call to the shell32.dll. But i dont know how to translate this to vb.net.
[DllImport("shell32.dll", EntryPoint = "#262", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode, PreserveSig = false)]static extern void SetUserTile(string username, int whatever, string picpath);
I want to use Shell32 as a reference but, not that it's place as Interop.Shell32.dll in my folder. So, I want my application to use "C:WindowsSystem32Shell32.dll"
I need it for an unzipper.
I have been trying to use Shell32.dll to zip files, I have also attempted to create empty zip folders dynamically and have had no success, I was able to create an empty zip folder but when I try to use the zip folder I receive an error message and the zip folder created remains empty. Error: QuoteWindows cannot create the Compressed (zipped) Folder. [Code] If I use the empty zip without creating a new one this is the error message: QuoteFile not found or no read permission. The empty zip it creates is 100% valid with Windows Explorer.

View 2 Replieswhat is the best way to check if the files in a backup folder are older than the files in the reference folder?
View 4 RepliesI have a folder that can (hundreds currently) but upwards of 10's of thousands of files. I have a program that gets all file names, and sorts them based upon set criteria and displays them in a treeview. My issue is right now a few hundred files moves fairly quickly when getting files name (path.getfiles), sorting, and returning sorted list for further search and display. My concern is when the number of files starts to increase, alot of these functions will take exponentially longer to perform. Especially my organizing function.
Because my files are part numbers <PartNum><Rev><SubRev><ManuNum>.<extension> I first sort out all different Part numbers first making the list manageable (maximum of a few thousand). Then as you choose a part number to work with, it retrieves all files associated with that part number (maximum of a few hundred).
My concern is everytime I need to look for a file in anyone of those steps, I have to import all file names, search and return correct file path, and Im sure this will become slow as the number of files increase. I dont mind having it do it once then update the list as needed. So I was thinking import and sort all file names at load, and check every so often for and files that might have been modified recently and just update it's entry in the sorted list. But this means my program has to stop, and check all files for changed "modified" time, which too will be slow-ish.
