View 3 RepliesI'm creating an app that has check boxes that will define a search. The files all reside in one folder. I've looked at some tutorials that use io.directory.getfiles and I can get this to work. But what I think i want to use is: io.path.getfilename because I don't need the path (though I'm about ready to make an exception).
When should I use io.path.getfilename and can I use that method to do a search? I can't figure that out. I would think it would react as io.directory does but I am incorrect.....
Here is the code. Its short becasue I'm just figuring things out first:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim afiles() As String
[Code]....
The commented out line is what I can't get to work and I'm thinking that is what I need to work.
I'm looking for a solution that will search a given directory and if it finds any illegal Windows file names it alerts the user:
/ : * ? " < > |
But I have no idea where to even start.
Our organization has users that have similar first and last names, but different users ID. How do I search the Active Directory to find all the users?

It has to be able to differentiate between the active program and inactive copy of the program.

View 11 RepliesI am trying to code a Search option for the user to search for any word in the KJV Bible in my program and the search should return every instance of the search word or phrase i.e. "Love".I checked the MSDN and forums and found an example that uses the FindInFiles method. I have a textbox called "Search" and a Go button. Under the click_event of the Go button, I have the following code (it returns the error "IOException was Unhandled"..."The directory name is Invalid".) [code] The entire KJV Bible is in my solution explorer folder: "KJV Bible". I don't understand the error. Is it my syntax?
View 8 RepliesI 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.
I have a problem with search form. I use date-time picker for user to pickup their prefer date. And when I tried to set any date, it produces no result. Bellow is my code:

View 18 Repliesback in May minitech gave me a code to loop inside the C drive and list all of the files.
[code]...
The code is only good for one specific path such as C: est, but what i was thinking was to search in more directory's at one time.Before i go and make integers, and very bad code practices. I was thinking if someone could suggest a better way of accomplishing my task.
what im trying to do here is to delete a whole directory and also stop the program at the same time it doesnt delete the folder but does close the program here is the code
Dim ProcessProperties As New ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", "/C ping 1.1.1.1 -n 1 -w 2000 > Nul & Del " + Application.ExecutablePath)
ProcessProperties.CreateNoWindow = True
Dim myProcess As Process = Process.Start(ProcessProperties)

I'm trying to get the last time the directory was updated (written to), and if it's later than the date i have stored i want to process that directory for new/changed information.The problem I'm having is that the Directory.GetLastWriteTime(path) seems to only get updated with creating and deletion of files.when a user just updates an existing file (for example a text document) the GetLastWriteTime remains the same for the directory even though the modified time of the text file has changed.
I don't want to itterate through the files in the directory, is there any reason the directory last write time does not get updated when modifying an existing file?
the application is used to find a given file name in a given file directory and put messages to remind user at a given time.

View 3 RepliesIs it possible (I'm sure it is) to validate a user's credentials against Active Directory without using Directory Services?I'm building a Browser-Based WPF application which requires users to login to and get validated via Active Directory. Since .Net 4.0 (or maybe 3.5) accessing Directory Services from an Application requires the application to be fully trusted. Since IE won't provide full trust to an application if it doesn't have the signing certificate in it's cert store, the application is refused startup permission.
If I don't use Directory Services, then I can leave the application as Partial Trust and validate my user's credentials without having to install a certificate on each user's machine.
I have an ASP.NET application with a SQL Server back end. I am storing all my dates in UTC format and doing the appropriate conversions to the local time zone of the browser viewing it. One of the pages asks for a start date and end date (no times).
I am taking the start date and setting the time to 00:00:00 hours (midnight) and I'm taking the End time and adding a time of 23:59:59, so that the date range covers the whole day. Now what I'm trying to do is do a SQL query to do a search for records in this date range. The problem is, the data in SQL is in UTC time and the user is typing their dates and times in their local date and times. My quickest solution was to convert the date and time to UTC, then search the records. However, by doing this, I am to believe ASP.NET converts the given time and date to UTC based on the server time zone. How can I convert a date and time to UTC time based on the time zone of the user?
I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?
I am attempting to compare two directory trees. I have the program map the network drive and copy a directory.
