Is there an easier way to test if a file system item is a directory than using bitmasks?I have this code in one of my applications (two second line is actually in a loop over folderItems but for simplicity assume the first element):[code]This works, but is there an easier way than using bitwise AND with 1000 (base 2)?

I am completing a project for varsity and have done a lot of research on this topic but I can't seem to find the solution that I need. I am using Visual Studio 2005 and .NET Version 2.0. Here is the formatting they want me to use for the Cost Price textbox:"In your form, it should not be possible for a user to enter a cost price of 123.456 nor $123.45 (since we work in Rands and we also dont want to store the $ symbol nor do want the user to type a decimal point or a comma). Make sure that the cost price field has the following format: R ###. ## (where a user only has to enter the numbers)."

Say you have a button that clears your form when you click on it.Well i was taught to type lblName.String.Empty etc etc. for each and every object on the form.There's got to be an easier way to write code to do that same thing if say you had 30 items to clear right?
View 6 RepliesMessageBoxes are often used to display error messages and other information, and I thought that I'd create something to make it easier to see the format of the MessageBox rather than having to test it or temporarily set a condition in order that you ca see how it looks and then modify the code. This is hardly perfect, but I don't think it's a bad start.[code]....

View 1 RepliesProbably a dumb question, but can you write a unit test project in one language to test against another project in a different language?I'd like to translate one of our VB assemblies into C#, but want to build unit tests to verify the results. I've tried to set a unit test project up to do this, but I can't seem to access the VB code within a unit test... I can't figure out if I'm just missing/doing something stupid, or it really isn't allowed.

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 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.

View 1 RepliesI am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.
