VS 2008 Newly Created File Has Older Date??
Apr 9, 2009I have encountered a wierd problem, and I'm unsure if this behaviour is caused by my code or by Windows itself... I can't make any sense of it! Basically, I have written an automated backup system for a text editor. It should save up to 5 backups for each filename, each in a 'AutoBackup<filename><filename>_<number>.bak' format. Here, <filename> is simply the name of the file my program is backing up, and <number> is the first 'free' number. So if the backups are "Test_1, Test_2, Test_4, Test_5", the next backup will be called "Test_3" (since 3 was 'missing'). When there are more than 5 backups, I want my code to delete the oldest files until there are again 5 backups left. I am using the following code for this:
vb.net
'Backup doc.SaveFile(path & "" & filename & "_" & newNum & ".bak") 'If more than max files, delete oldest Do While numOfFiles > maxBackups Dim d As Date Dim maxDate As Date = Date.MaxValue Dim oldestFile As String =
[code].....
Then, after another backup, Test_1.bak is again deleted!I thought this was pretty weird so I had a look at the files in windows explorer, taking a good notice of the creation date... That's when I saw that after Test_1.bak is created a second time (after a file named Test_1.bak was deleted), it carries the same creation date/time as the old (deleted) Test_1.bak..So my code still sees it as the oldest file (while it is actually the newest) and deletes it...
Display The String That Is Created As A List In Perhaps A Read Only Text Box Or Similar?
Nov 10, 2009My program creates a array of numbers as entered by a user and then finally adds them up. The form should be able to display the numbers typed in by the user. I know how to put one of these numbers into separate labels and could display each number that way but I wanted to know if there is a simple way to display the string that is created as a list in perhaps a read only text box or similar?

Create A "File Not Found" Error To Display If A File The Program Is Looking For Is Not Created?
Oct 5, 2009I'm trying to create a "File Not Found" error to display if a file the program is looking for is not created.Example:
Dim ProcessProperties As New ProcessStartInfo
ProcessProperties.FileName = "filename"
ProcessProperties.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden[code].....
I also need help creating a text box, that will submit information to another source (like echoing to a command prompt window). I'm trying to add a killtask option where the user can enter the name of the tast (such as notepad.exe) and press 'Submit'. The button will then send a code (killtask -f notepad.exe) to a command prompt window.
Add More Text To An Already Created File?
Apr 29, 2011I am trying to add text to an already created file on vb.net. When I run the program there are no errors and it writes everything to my liking, but currently when it goes to save, it makes me create an entirely new text file with any name I choose to give it. What I need to do is for it to automatically get added onto the end of an already created text file without deleting any other part of the file, which we will call "data.txt." Here is the code I already have

View 3 RepliesCreates A New Event A Text File Gets Created?
Sep 28, 2010I have been thinking about creating an event calendar. I thought through the idea of how i would attempt it, but only came up with one idea; Text files, a folder for each year, and a folder for each month.. when the user creates a new event a text file gets created in: e.g. \2010\Jan\12.txt and if another event is on that same day, the text is added into the same text file. But this leaves lost hopes for my other ideas, since it will get very complicated. Like yearly events, monthly events etc.

Adding A Date In A Text File?
Jun 8, 2011I have a program i wrote today, it works just as i wanted it to, with exception of one problem. Im more looking for some ideas on this one. For my work, we have folders on a drive that are filled with txt files, what we wanted to do was to add the last date it was modified to the top of the file so people would know when it was last modified. These files are used on CNC machines and the those people cant look at a last modified date as easy as the computer user can, just a short explanation of why we wanted to do this. So i wrote a program to do it, loop through each file in the user selected folder and add a date to the top of it, works perfect. Now here is the issue, when i write the last mod date to that file, the last mod date on the file changes to that day. For example, if i have a file in there that was modified January 28th 2011, the program reads that file, then on the top of the file it prints that date, January 28th 2011, but then that same file gets changed to the current date as a modified date, so if the program i wrote is used again on the same folder the next day, those files will all end up getting the previous days date on the top. I dont want that! I guess im wondering if there is a way to tell the files mod date not to get updated when its run through my program, it should only update when changed some other way, like someone actually opens it, changes stuff and hits the save button.
