View 2 RepliesI've been working on some code to rename files and have being doing so by copying them to the same location under a different name and then removing the original. When I do this for files I use the code ...
Dim file As New System.IO.FileInfo(lstFiles.SelectedItem.ToString)
Dim strNewFile As String
Dim strRename As String
Dim strMask As String = ""
[code]....
This will obviously not work as it will try to copy the folder into itself which is not allowed.

I have been googling and searching many different forums for what I think should be a fairly straightforward answer, but I am unable to get it to work, or find the proper way to get it to work. the closest that I seem to be able to find the answer is along the lines here: [URL]
I have a similar setup, where I have three projects defined, one is my UI, one is my DB Access, and one is my real logic. DB Access and Real Logic are dll's, and each have their own app.config file, that when I build individually, it renames to mylogic.dll.config in the debug directory like it should. The dll.config file at the moment contain only Logging Application Blocks from the EntLib 5.0 library.
However, when I build the main exe, only the exe.config is there, and the dll.config's are not. Now, for one of them, I have gotten around it by changing the name of the file in VS to mylogic.dll.config, and set it to copy to output always. This works, as if I change the level of logging in the config, its changed next time I run the program. However, to get that to work, in my Logic class, I needed to specify the name of the config directly to the Logger, which I would prefer not to do.
Now, to compound the issue, in the DB Access dll class, I want the config to hold Logging Application Block config settings, but it will also hold other settings, such as the connection string to connect to the DB as, and so on, and if I rename it from app.config, then the standard VS tools (like XSD Designer) dont work.
So, for something that seems to be so elementary, I cant seem to figure it out... perhaps my logic is wrong... but in the end, I dont want to need to manually merge the different app.config's from the dll's into the exe app.config by hand, as this is very error prone.
I am making a program where I want to copy & rename a file. I want to copy a file from a directory which I can choose (by OpenFileDialog1.FileName), then copy or move it to a directory. This directory has been newly made and named (progdirCollin). Let's say the file is called cv.pdf then I want it to be moved to the new dir and rename it Collin.pdf. The extensions can also be .rtf or .doc and I want them to be left unchanged. So I want to copy or move a file, rename it, but keep the extension of the file, which can be all kinds of file (vb.pdf to collin.pdf or vb.txt to collin.txt.)
Explained :
1. Put in the name of the person = V
2. Pick a file with the openfiledialog = V
3. Make a directory with the name of the person in the appdir = V
4. Copy / Move the file to the new directory = V
5. Then rename the file to the persons name, but keep the .doc / .pdf / .rtf etc = ?
All V = Done
What this code will do to the copy?
