I am writing a clean up program to use in my computer repair business. I have been searching this site as well as Google to find an answer for how to get the size of the recycle bin. I would also like to be able to empty the recycle bin as well. I have not programmed in visual basic since VB6 so I am relearning the language.
View 3 RepliesSo far I can access the Recycle Bin to empty it with this:
#Region "Empty Recycle Bin (SUB)"
Private Declare Function SHEmptyRecycleBin Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "SHEmptyRecycleBinA" (ByVal hWnd As Int32, ByVal pszRootPath As String, ByVal dwFlags As Int32) As Int32
[code].....
I've got some old code of mine that I'm going back to and updating a little bit. On one part of it I need to check if there are any items in the recycle bin or not.
This is the code I was using to accomplish this:
vbcode
Private Declare Function SHQueryRecycleBin Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "SHQueryRecycleBinA" (ByVal pszRootPath As String, ByRef pSHQueryRBInfo As SHQUERYRBINFO) As Long
Private Structure ULARGE_INTEGER
[Code]....
The msgbox and end is just in there for debugging purposes. This always returns all 0s, even when I know that there is something in the recycle bin.
i would like to call a function that Closes the recycle bin window. This is the code that opens the recycle bin, however i can't find the code that closes it :
Process.Start("explorer.exe", "/n, ::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}")
I want to get files of Recycle Bin that are currently present in Recycle Bin.

View 6 RepliesI have an SqlDataSource object, linked to a GridView, which receives data from a database when executed.I'd like to add the values of the "Cost" column, to get the "TotalCost", and place it in a TextBox or Label on top of the GridView.Is it possible to just use (recycle) the data in the SqlDataSource object, instead of using another SqlDataSource object to just get the TotalCost"?
View 1 RepliesI am writing a program to manage some of my files. I already know when I want to send a file to the recycle bin, so I don't need the system to prompt me each time. How do I tell it to back Off, and just do it?
Here is my
Sub RecycleBinFile(ByVal strFilename As String)
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(strFilename, FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs, FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin, FileIO.UICancelOption.DoNothing)
End Sub
Some of my research has pointed me to FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs.
Right now this can only delete one file, how can I change it so that it can Empty the TEMP folders contents into the recycle bin?

How do you move multiple files to the recycle bin all at once? I want the recycle dialog box to show that says "Are you sure you want to send X items to the Recycle Bin" I have tried the API functions with SHFileOperation and have tried the My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile but i can only delete one file at a time. I do not want to delete an entire directory but rather just a selection of files that i specify just like what can happen in windows explorer.
View 3 RepliesI'm making a cleaning program and one of the things it does is cleans the recycle bin. How do I do it for Xp, Vista, and 7? I'm on Visual Basic 2010. Also, how do I make it so that it automatically finds the username and uses it when the program deletes a folder. Right now I have it so that you need to enter your username in a textbox and then it uses that for the directories. I know it's something with SystemInformation.UserName.

View 7 RepliesNow all went well about from using the structure correctly. The working of the structure was perfect. How ever i missed Two important issues. The structure needed a fixed size of 10 items (9 in programming terms starting from 0) And also out of the 5 items allowed to be chosen as one of the member types for the structure a limit of 5 items of that particular type.

what i am having problems with is that if a file is in use, i get a msgbox prompt.. i do not mind it not deleting the file. how can i bypass that msbox to not show??-.trujade.-
Is there a way in vb.net to undelete a file (deleted from Recycle Bin) or should i turn to unmanaged code? Write your code as efficient as you can to reduce CPU load, to consume less energy and protect our planet from global warming.

I have a label which appears full screen on a projector (VGA 2). In this label I will be sending strings. Some one liner's, some wrapped paragraphs. Some multi-line with carrage returns.

View 10 RepliesWhats the font size real meaning? since when i use Arial font size 10 in the report its gonna take different space than the textbox im using (Both using exactly same font type/size/unit) its kinda if i set 10 milimiters to the font size why would the i and M for example have so diferent size.
i wish it was like in the Notepad where all the letters take the same space. what i need its to give a certain texbox(in the report) with auto grow to have always the same lines of height but its not posible to calculate it from vb b4 being inputed to the report.
How to make the form size automatic setting the size equals to the screen. or Maximize the whole form including the form components.
