Display The Contents Of The Bookmarks Folder Only Without The File Name Extensions?
Jun 3, 2010
Instead of creating a listbox to hold the names of one's favorites, I've made it so when you add a bookmark it adds it under the directory (yourusername)/bookmarks. (yourusername) is represented by login.usernametextbox.text. Now I've added a filelistbox to the form and want it to display the contents of the bookmarks folder only without the file name extensions. Just the title. Then when a user clicks on the title it navigates to that specified file by opening a new instance of a browser form. Here's what I have so far:
Private Sub Bookmarks_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
bmarks.Path = Login.UsernameTextBox.Text + "ookmarks"
End Sub[code]....
it's possible with vb.net code to show or hide extensions for known file types ? this is a folder option for the new windows 7, wich allow the user to show or hide extensions for files.
I've got another problem. This time I am Trying to display the contents of a folder into a textbox:
Public Class Form1 Private Sub browseFolder_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles browseFolder.Click FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = _ My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.MyDocuments
[Code]...
I know the line TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath is not what I want to be doing, but thats the only thing I can get to work, but that just displays the folder path obviously. What I want is to display the contents of the selected folder into TextBox1
i am creating an app that will display the contents of a folder containing hundreds of other folders. these folders are in the following format <Movie.Name>[<Year>]i am trying to create a function that will filter out the years i.e. if i wish to search for movies from 2009 i could use the code 'FilterMovies("2009")' etc... and remove/hide the others.
I'm using VB.NET 2005 Pro to write a batch file to empty folder contents, but I'm having problems putting quotations around the parameters.Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnTNFCleanup.Click Create an instance of StreamWriter to write text to a file.
what i am trying todo is get a listbox to display the contents of an XML file. The problem is at the start of the code when i try to load the xml file.
I'm using the FileSaveAs dialog control to allow the user to select a filename to save a file either as a doc file, an rtf file or a pdf file (that part was easy).However, after a bit of testing, it seems that the file extension doesn't automatically change when selecting the different file types.If the filename in the dialog is Foo.doc and I select FileType *.pdf and click "Save", my app still tries to save the file as a doc type.Virtually every other MS app automatically changes the extension to match a selected file type from the Office Suite to Paint. here's my code:
Dim dlg As New SaveFileDialog dlg.InitialDirectory = m_sReportFolder dlg.FileName = sProjectName & ".docx"[code]......
I'd like to inquire if it is possible to create a specific file extension like for example .wew and when the user double clicks over the that kind of file ,it excutes the programm associated with it ,and how can the contents be interpreted by the program, I tried to find how to do that ,and I only found soultion that deal with windows shell scripting
I am trying to open files with different extension which are not supported by windows as well.Extension like (.bin,.dat,.lzc etc etc) Is there any way i can access these files by using any emulator?
im looking to delete all the files AND folders in My Documents. My things I do wont delete the folders.So I tried this, delete the My Documents folder instead, then recreate it.Here is the code I used.

So, I have a little GUI setup with a Listbox and a Richtextbox.I want the Listbox to display all of the .txt files displayed within a folder I have defined, then when a ListBox item is selexted, it displays the contents of that file within the RTB
I am using vb.net with visual studio 2008. I have the need to have a user select a directory on a network drive to bring up a folder with a very extensive list of files. The file names within this directory are what I'm concerned with and I will need to write all these file names to a textfile in order to do a comparison with an existing text file. The user must be able to select this folder themselvesAt this point I am trying to use the openfiledialog box to open the folder however it is requiring that I select a specific file which is not my need. I need the whole folder.
I currently have a filter that is allowing all files. fdlg.Filter = "All files (*.*)|*.*|All (*.*) |*.*
the problem is I'm trying to access a file that has no file extension. I think you can see why this is so difficult. The specific file I'm trying to edit is the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts).
I get how to do it, and i have been to [URL] before. My question is about what doing that does, is it possible to reverse it? What if you do not know where your program will be, and you are just testing it for now? Is there any way for it to "find" your program, or an easy way to edit where it is opened? For that matter, is it possible to tell if the file has been associated already, is it an issue to try and reassociate? Finally, how can you set the .ico file it uses?
I am creating a program which can store files, and I display their names in a list box, with their contents in another list box. My program can read the file names but has the file extension ".txt" added to all of them, meaning that the program cannot read the contents. How can I remove ".txt" from them? [code]
Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath) Dim files As IO.FileInfo() Dim filename As IO.FileInfo If (rbNoSubfolders.Checked) Then
[Code]...
I'm getting an "Illegal characters in path" error. How can I fix this?
Basically, I want to be able to say: here, I want to be able to chose my drive (in this case C:) and i want to be able to get the following extentions: .txt. Also i want it to list ALL .txt files in the C drive in either a textbox or listbox.
Path = "C:" For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Path, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "FILE*.10") _ And For Each FoundFile In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles(Path, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "FILE*.09") 'do code
Next My goal is simply to search for multiple file extensions. I cant use FILE* as my search parameter as this returns other files e.g FILE2012.10z which i don't want.
I am current creating a file deleter in VB.net, although for some reason I am unable to get the contents of my folder on to the listbox, my code is as follows:
Public Class Form1 Dim dir = "C:UsersLimitedDesktop" Private Sub listbox()[code].....
Is it possible for a webpage to popup a open folder dialog, ask the user to select a folder, then show the contents of that folder in a list(or something) in the webpage. It won't write to the files, only read them. The webpage is hosted remotely.
how to move a single file to a new location. Can you move the contents of an entire folder to a new location (Lets say... inside another folder)?
Here is my code for moving a file to a new location. As you might see, this is how it works. You first select a file. Then you type in the driver (C, D, E) where your 'TEST' folder is located. Then you click another button and bam! File is loaded into the TEST folder.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I was moving files to a new folder when I realized some of the files were in the same folder and thought "Wouldn't it be grand to be able to just move the contents of this folder into the new without doing it one file at a time?"
I am trying to show a list of folders then copy only the selected folders.It displays the folders correctly but copies only the contents not the folder itself, how can I correct this?
Display files
Private Sub ListDirs() SrcFolder = (("\" & (OldPCTxtBx.Text) & "" & "C$")) Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo(SrcFolder) For Each subFolders As IO.DirectoryInfo In dir.GetDirectories
I want to know how to create our own file, such as: (.Docx). If we opened the file in notepad the characters contained in the that's file could not understand, so i would like to know by what method of making the it's file? Is the file created and use encryption method or what?
Inside the program I have a text box in which a user puts in the filepath to a textfile that the program then uses as a series of commands to perform tasks. This works perfectly, however what I would like to to do to make my program faster is associate the file extension .gam with the program, so when a user clicks a .gam file it opens the program and automatically sets said file's location into the text field, as opposed to using the browse button I added and browsing to said file everytime they run the program.
Through this a user could then make a shortcut to said .gam file and run it right from their desktop, as opposed to rummaging around in folders and whatnot. At the moment my method has been thus, I have 2 folders of importance I have archived with the .exe, Gambits Pro.exe, these are: Gambits, and Control, inside of the Gambits folder is the default storage location for .gam files, as when you click the browse button its default directory is that folder. I have also added a few example files in said folder for a user when they download the program.
