View 4 RepliesWe utilize quotas on our file share using the built in Window quota system. The problem is that doing a dir or using .NET to check available space, only shows the actual space of the hard drive. It seems there is no way (that I have yet found) to get the quota size available to the currently logged in user.
View 1 RepliesI have setup shares for each user in my domain. Also I have quotas enabled on the user's share set to 5 GB. I'm trying to figure out how I can take the current size of the users share and divide it by the limit of 5 GB and have an output of how much space the user has left using a vbs.
View 2 RepliesI'm a beginner in VB Express 2008 code. I would like to write a small program that only has a "Textbox" and a "Button" in VB Form..I would like a code that can check if a filename already exist in a folder.Let's say I have a folder that has all this filenames (eg. test.doc, eddy.doc, anything.doc)So if I entered 'eddy' in the "Textbox", and if I press the "Button", I would like the code to check whether 'eddy' is already exist in that folder.......
Same thing if I entered 'anything' in the "Textbox", and if I press the "Button", I would like the code to check whether 'anything' is already exist in that folder.
I want to check if an Outlook folder exists, if it doesn't then create it & if it does then carry on with other code. I can create the folder as a sub folder of the Inbox but once it is created I get an error because it is still looking to create when it's already created. I have tried to capture the error but still no joy.

I get an UnautorizedAccessException running this code:
string[] fileList = Directory.GetFiles(strDir, strExt);
The exception occurs in c:usersusernameappdata How can I check if I have access permission (to list and read files) ?
I want a code that checks if there are any files in a Folder. So I want to specify the folder name.
This is what it should do:
It Checks if there are any files in the folder (Data)
If there are no files in folder:
Form2.Show()
If there are files in the folder:
MsgBox ("Welcome", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Welcome")
I need to write a program that uses constants to establish the base pay, the quota, and the commission rate. The Pay menu item calculates and displays the commission and the total pay for that person. However, if there is no commission, do not display the commission amount (do not display a zero-commission amount).
Write a function procedure to calculate the commission. The function must compare sales to the quota. when the sales are equal to or greater than the quota, calculate the commission by multiplying sales by the commission rate. Format the dollar amounts to two decimal places; do not display a dollar sign.
The summary menu item displays a message box that holds total sales, total commission, and total pay for all salesperson. Display the number with two decimal places and dollar signs.
the Clear menu item clears the name, sales, and pay for the current employee and then resets the focus.
The Color and Font menu items should change the color and font of the information displayed in the total pay text box. Use a message box to display the program name and your name as programmer for the about option on the Help menu.
[code...]
So the issue is when I push calculate and summary, the total sales comes up, but not the total commission or total pay. Also, the color only changes to blue and that is it. I am not sure how to get the color or the font menu choices to be able to be choosen by the user. Is that possibile?

how to get the "size on disk" value for some folders. Getting the "size" is not a problem but in this case, this folder has the "compress content to save disk space" enabled. This "size on disk" is really important to find as some folders on the disk have quotas and checking only on the "normal" size gives some values that are exceeding the quota. i.e. quota is 45 MB. Folder size is 47 MB. Folder "size on disk" is 38 MB. Based on the first "size", no more file can be added. Based on the second one, not true.

I'm interested in Windows performance especially the number of disk reads and writes per second. Windows knows for performance data. Does anyone know have to collect this data programatically?

Also, on a slightly different topic (I didnt think it was worth starting a new thread for it), I need a program to start during the start up of the computer it is on, am I right in saying I need to create a shortcut (which I think is a .lnk file?) and then put that in the startup folder. I'm doing this in code, but I was wondering what information I need in the shortcut file.
I am using the following code to get the Disk I/O on various servers. For now I am just retrieving the DiskReadsPerSec to get a feel for it. The return data gives a uint32 for each drive on the server and a total. My questions is what is the time frame that this represents? Is this at the second that my code polls the drive or is this over the last few seconds or do I need to do multiple runs to get an average.
My intention is to build a graph for each drive so I wonder how often I need to poll the drive to get a acurate value.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get the HDD Disk Drive information from the DeviceIOControl(,,,,,) function with IOCTL_DISK_GET_DRIVE_LAYOUT_EX control code.
Here are the problems :
1. The DeviceIOControl function returns(as from output buffer) DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure. Which contains some data types i am unable to get. I used. Uint32 instead of Dword. Long instead of Large_Integer.
2. DRIVE_LAYOUT_INFORMATION_EX structure contains a union declaration as mentioned on MSDN , HOW TO GET A UNION in VB.NET or vb 6.
3. Still when i tried declaring the data types as mentioned earlier gives an error (Value does not fall within the expected range.) executing the DeviceIOControl Method.
