I am trying to copy files from one drive to another. I am a novice at Visual Basic, but here are the facts. I am running Windows XP, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I work at a business where we need to move a small amount of data every Sunday, literally about 100k, a few small files. I'm trying to cut and paste the files as we will not need them in the main file any longer. There's also the network issue, I'm trying to pull them off a LAN, onto my computer, specifically the G: drive to the C: drive.
This is what I put so far:
vb
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click FileCopy.CopyFiles("G:SharedSFMachinesTemp&HumidityTracking", "C:Richard's Stuff") End Sub

Iam trying to copy file to floppy disk rather than to hard drive. I try to use the code that I used in VB6 but there are so many errors. I gave up. Are any simple code the would do it? New C# Programmer
The drive is connected via USB and the problem I'm having is that, periodically, while my code is executing, the usb drive seems to disconnect and reconnect. (Nothing to do with the program, but the drive itself).I want to find a way to prevent these temporary drive reconnects from interrupting my code. IE, i want to insure that whatever read or write that is requested is actually executed even in the case of a temporary drive interruption.
I have a backup class it copys every thing but the unmovable files witch in return when i test the dive that i just backed up all files to will not boot up missing win system32 config files??how would i add permission to my code??? or how do i over ride cant copy file because a nother process is useing it?

I have a program that I want to copy itself onto a USB flash drive or any other type of drive connected to the computer. Is it as simple as using the File.Copy method?

I'm not using any special controls and I know the framework will need to be on the computers it is run on.

My quesion is, since I'm not actively modifying the byte array, can I impliment a form of multithreading where all 3 threads read the same byte array at the same time?

I'm creating a WPF application in VB.NET with the 3.5 Framework. (If you provide an example in C#, that's perfectly fine.)
In my project I have a Template for an MS Access database. My desired behavior is that when the users clicks File-->New, they can create a new copy of this template, give it a filename, and save it to their local directory.
The database already has the tables and some starting data needed to interface with my application (a user-friendly data editor)
I'm thinking the approach is to include this "template.accdb" file as a resource in the project, and write it to a file somehow at runtime?
I have VB project and I tried to use PUBLISH feature.It seems to create nicely some kind of setup program, but the setup program does not ask where to copy files (it does not seem to copy filesto target machine "PROGRAM FILES".)Is this setup program somehow different from usual installers?

I need to MOVE a batch of files from one drive to another one by one.How can I know when one file as completed the MOVING process so I the other file in row can start moving
At this time I am using VBScript to drive files thru a printer driver. Each file has to be ran at all the different preferences the drivers can offer. (papersize, dpi, simplex/duplex, etc.). I am developing a VB application and I want to drive the files with the app. I want to make setting changes with my app. and then set the driver accordingly and run the files. When I finish I want to dynamiclly change the settings and then run the files again. Until I have driven them with all the different settings.
I am using this code to get files, but I can not get it to search for all files on C: drive.how can I get it to show all files Like *.pdf of the drive in the list box

This shows all files and folder names on the disc. If I want it to show all files, regardless of the folder they're in, is there a built-in method to do that or do I need to take an entry, identify it as a directory and then use that as my source to read the files in it?

I am very new to programming and I am having trouble getting my code to work properly.I am trying to write what I thought was a simple program, but I everything I have tried has not worked properly.I am creating a utility that will take installation and database files from one computer and copy those files to a flash drive so the flash drive will have the new version. The flash drives in question would either have one of two previous versions of the software on it or it will be blank. I decided to do this in two steps. First I check the computer for the new database and the flash drive for the old ones. I do this with the following code. [code] Next, I am deleting files from the flash drive if the old database is there and copying the files from the computer to the flash drive and showing progress on the progressbar. Here is where I am going all wrong. I have tried it a number of different ways, and unfortunatly (I'm kicking myself right now), I have not saved the code from the other methods I have tried.I have not been able to figure out how to get the background worker to work with what I am trying to do, though I have seen a lot of code over the past few weeks with examples of how to use it. It is a little above my head in terms of figuring it out by myself. So what I have used is the following code: [code]
