.net - Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory() With Read Only Files?
Sep 23, 2010I recently came across a problem with My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(). It will not delete read only files.I found out by Googling that I could delete the read only files by changing the file attributes to 'Normal'. So I wrote a recursive function, as below.
Private Sub DeleteDir(ByVal dir As DirectoryInfo)
For Each d In dir.GetDirectories
DeleteDir(d)[code].....
It seems to work fine, but it would be nice if My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory() had another parameter to delete read only files, or there was an easier way to do this.
.net - Difference Between Computer.FileSystem And System.IO.File?
May 3, 2011There is a lot of duplication of functions in the My.Computer.FileSystem and System.IO.File namespaces.
So what exactly is the difference between: My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(strSource, strDest, True)
and:System.IO.File.Copy(strSource, strDest, True)
Is there a performance difference? What is everyone's opinion on which which has the edge on read-ability? I personally use the My.Computer Namespace but that is just habit now.

Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Documents Returns The Wrong Folder Name In VB2008?
Apr 2, 2011TempUserPath = My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments Returns the string "C:UsersOwnerDocuments" but that folder is actually named "My Documents" (i.e., is "C:UsersOwnerMy Documents" in the Finder).When I try to create a new folder called "Documents" in the Owner directory, Windows asks if I want to merge its contents with the My Documents folder. If I say yes, I am left with only the My Documents folder and none named "Documents".Thus when I attempt to read or write a file to the TempUserPath location, I get an "access denied" error. This happens even after I manually change the name of the folder from "My Documents" to "Documents".

I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?

The way I have it setup now is that they have to know the exact paint code for it to pull the link to the file. I need to search to find the file(s) with less than the exact code.

Why Doesn't The DeleteDirectory Method Of The Computer.FileSystem Class Work On "special" Folders
Aug 14, 2008if they choose to use a networked version of my software, I will need the main server doing the authenticating. This is a problem, because from what I understand, it is quite easy to clone MAC addresses. I have looked into using the CPU ID and the HDD ID, but those are not unique, well at least I don't think so. Reason why I say they are not unique is because someone has the exact same CPU ID as me, and the HDD ID changes from partition to partition (same drive). Maybe the HDD ID is a partition ID instead? Anyways, I was thinking maybe I could get the Physical serial number of both the HDD and CPU, but I have not been able to find anything yet.

View 5 RepliesPrevent Directory.GetFiles() From Searching Short File Names?
Jun 9, 2012I have a directory 'C:Test' with three files in it:
A23456789.txt
A1.txt
G 5.txt
And I run this command:
Dim FileArr = Directory.GetFiles("C:Test", "*1.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
All three files are returned.I understand that this is by design and .NET searches the 8.3 short file names as well.But is there any way to override this and search the actual file names only?Surely, in this day and age there must be a function to do this. Or do I have to write my own?I would like the search function to have the same behavior as the Windows Explorer for consistency.
