I was assigned a project to create a program of cloning two file servers. It will copy all folders (about 500, one day one folder, there are about 200 files in each day) from one file server (S1) to another file server (S2). If any error occurred while in processing, program will send an email to someone.

I'm currently making a program in Visual Basic 2010 for my Course work, and I'm struggling a little as it involves a "log-in system."
The system will save the Users Information in a folder (Called UserInfo.txt) (Address, Password, Email etc..), and the folder name being the username of the User.
When an Admin wants to view or edit a User, I want the Admin to be able to select the User from a drop-down list and when selected, the information of the user loads in and is displayed in the text boxes bellow (on the same form). The Information can then be edited and Saved back to the file of that user selected with a "Save" button.
Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?
I have a website that has highly granulised access and hence requires many web.config files. The problem is I would like to trim the menu so that only certain users will have access to certain folders. I have enabled trimming and setup roles in the sitemap, however when I access the page the menu is not show, as I am authorized to view the default page which is not in a subfolder. When I type the url of a page in sub folder's I have access.
How should I handle this:
A site map for each web.config file - don't know how this will work Removing the sub web.config file to only use a single one
I'm trying to do a multiple file copy and I can't seem to get anything to work properly. Currently I just have one form with a source selection which is an open file dialog and I can select multiple files. But I'm not too certain where to go from there. What should I be using for the actual file names them selves?I'm not sure what I need to do in order to get the file names of the open file dialog in order to copy them.
View 3 RepliesI found this program and am amazed: [url] The promises is simple: copy larges file, to multiple removable drives in one go (instead of creating one separate process per copy), in order to make the copy FAST.
Publisher comments: "Rapid Copy is capable of copying data to the several destinations in one time. Lightning fast, Rapidcopy make backups and copies to up to 8 drives simultaneously." This was made using DotNet, since the framework is a prerequisite. Big Question: Is this REALLY possible? Does anyone here have an ideia on how this can be accomplished using VB.NET?
I have a button I use to copy a folder from one location to another.
The code looks like this:

I'm trying to copy the directories located on a root drive (J:) to another location (c:vagtilleder..)The problem is, the first folder isn't beeing copied.Example:
J:

After the copy it should look like this at the destination:
c:vagtilleder..
ootfoldersubfolder1subfolder2
But for some reason, "rootfolder" is not created at the destination, making the destination look like this:
c:vagtilleder..subfolder1subfolder2

I'm developing an application to help law enforcement retrieve and analyze logs and other files left by the use of Pidgin (a multi-protocol messenger client). Right now I'm nearly done, but I want to add the ability to search chat logs for user-defined words or phrases and I don't even know where to begin.
Chat logs are stored as html documents in a folder/sub-folder/sub-folder/sub-folder fashion, where each sub-folder can have dozens of sub-folders inside of it, and the final sub-folder can have dozens if not hundreds of chat logs. If anybody could point me in the right direction, I'd be very grateful.

how to copy the foldera nd files in the folder that are listed in listbox2 to another location.
I created a Right-Click Menu option for files. When the user clicks the menu option it will copy all of the file paths to the clipboard.The following function I have will retrieve all of the filepaths to the clipboard. The problem lies in adding the filepaths to the listbox. If I turn single instance application off the result is multiple instance of the application for each filepath. Say for example I selected 2 files and clicked my right-click menu, I wind up with 2 instance of my exe with each file path added to the listbox, 1 in one listbox, the other file path in the second instance listbox.
Public Sub getthepath()

Is there a way to loop through each file path from the clipboard and add them to the listbox through a loop?Several times I have tried different ideas I had that I thought would do it and I got odd results but never a good result.

View 8 RepliesI have built a com object in vb with the "Make Assembly COM Visible" that I use from the strange dialect, "Clarioneese." I maintain 2 versions of our main software, so I have 2 folders, one for each version.My COM object works from one of the folders, but not the other. I copied the exposed dll into both. I used regasm on the copy in the nonworking folder, but still, my Clarioneese programs can only work it if run from one folder, and not the other.Working Folder: C:cs46exe (I didn't name this, don't blame it on me)Non working folder: C:cssqlsdkv6 (I inherited this awful folder structure)If I move an exe built by Clarion into the cs46exe folder, the dll works, but not in the v6 folder.I thought I understood how this works, but I guess not. You can't be successful at this unless you're at least 1/2 a bubble off level.
View 2 RepliesI've written a backup utility for one of our applications; this process involves coping sub directories of a specified base folder and an unknown number of folders within folders. I've got the process down to copy the files and directories pretty easily but I want to compress the folder structure to keep the space needed as small as possible.I've found a few utilities that work well for getting the files from the specified base folder but not any of the folders that exist in the specified start directory.The one utility I found required me to recursively search directories for the variably named directories and I am hoping for a simple switch that can be used that says base folder/file and sub directories.

View 14 RepliesA couple of questions about the FolderBrowserDialog in VB .NET Express 2005...
1. How can I make it so this control allows selection of multiple folders at a time?
2. It remembers the folder I selected last time (in the same session), and highlights that folder, which is good, but that selected folder appears near the bottom of the window. Is there a way to make it so the previously selected folder appears in the middle of the window (i.e. the scroll bar is further down the window)? See screen shot attached for how it currently looks when the window opens.

(Currently using VB.NET 2010 Express) I'm trying to make a program, the main of which is file transfer. I'm trying to create a program that will keep files and folders synchronized across multiple client computers. I'm using a File system watcher to trigger events, and Using a simple System.Net.Sockets UDP client transfer (found via google) to transfer commands between it and itself on other computers.
Here's that code (this just sends from one textbox to another over the internet)
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Net
Imports System.Text
Dim udpClient As New UdpClient(1024)
Dim RemoteIpEndPoint As New IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 0)
[Code] .....
By this method, I can rename, move, or delete files. I want to implement file transfer, so that whenever a new file is created, or updated, my program will automatically transfer the file to the other computers and update them there.
I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
It appears that when IO.Directory.GetFiles tries to read a folder that it doesn't have access to it throws an exception & stops reading. Is there any way to have skip those folders & continue reading the rest of the folders?
View 1 RepliesI have seen lots of examples with a treeview to list folders then display the folders context in a listview.
