how to copy, delete, show files, show current directory, change directory, make folder, rename folder. My problem is i have a method on deleting a file and copying a file, but i don't know how to pass the method so that when i click the delete button it would let me choose what file to delete. By the way im using buttons on each function.[code...]
View 2 RepliesI am doing work for a client who has lost the source code for one of their VB.Net WinForms applications. The assembly they have is not obfuscated at all. I am trying to recover as much of the source as I can as C# source and have tried several tools for decompiling assemblies, including Reflector, ILSpy and JustDecompile (all the latest versions), but they all produce code with a huge number of errors in them. Because of the large number of errors in the generated code, I am going to ask about the specific errors (in different questions), get more directed answers and in this way try shed some light on why all the tools are having difficulty decompiling this assembly. This question pertains to the fact that the code generated by all these tools always have a large number of invalid member variables (fields) such as the following:
private short $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$nHeight;
private ArrayList $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts;
private StaticLocalInitFlag $STATIC$Report_Print$20211C1280B1$oColumnLefts$Init;
why the generated code has these invalid member variables?

I have a few questions that are bugging me.
1. How can i get file names from a directory and put them in a ListBox? Not the full path to them?
2. Can someone explain how to make a program default to .lua openings?
3. How could i put an icon in the Notification area?
4. When a dialog is open, like options, how can i disable clicking of the main form?
it has been a while since I have asked a question here so I thought now would be a great time to do so. I am creating an application that loops through the file names of a specific directory, in this case, the System32 folder. I want the program to compile a list of the file names and then I want the file names to be displayed on a Timer_Tick event so the name will change on every tick. If anyone could provide a snippet of code to achieve this that would be great. I have been researching and debugging all night with no luck.
View 1 RepliesI am on my second project. I made the mistake of trying to use my first project as a template thinking there was a 'Save All As...' which I found there wasn't.
I went through the whole project and now it is forcing me to use the folder names that everything is saved in from my first project and my professor wants the directories named a certain way.
If I try and change the names of the folders, then upon re-opening my solution I get errors because the directory has changed.
Is there a way for me to change the directory names and not have my program fall apart? Or re-direct it where to look after I change the folder names?
I think it was Joshdbr) a long time ago a directory rename program. However, I need help changing this to a file rename program. Our work directory will have a root folder, subfolder and .tif images:

I am trying to populate a listbox on form load of a list of directories. I only want to show the directory name, not the full path:

The form opens w/ no data in the list box. I played w/ this for a bit and found the strFolderName(i) assignment seems to break the code (make it not work) but I can't figure out why.
I am writing a mini folder compare program to compare files in 2 folders . I have sort of completed writing the application just that i dont know how to code for one particular part which is getting and comparing files in subfolder ( which mean my application doesnt goes into sub folder to get files name only the parent folder )

I have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?
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.

three projects in it. The main folder is fine but I want to rename the folders for two of the
prodjects.how I can do this within .NET so my structure stays in tact?
i have a form where there is a textbox where we can put the nameof the folder.and it wil put all the names of the folder in a text file say c:log.txt (but this is going to be in the background).
And in the foreground usercan select another folder.
Can we have the code to deal with that?

View 2 RepliesI'm fairly new to programming and have little to no experience with sql and file transfers. Here's what I'm trying to do:
1. Link my program to a database containing images (or pathnames to images)
2. Allow user to select a starting image and ending image (max 50) based on image numbers (which they already know)
3. Collect selected images from DB or could just be a copy of the image.
4. Export images to a new folder so that my other program can process and OCR them
I have the form built, but I just can't figure this out.
I have a folder with a bunch of different files in it, and I want to display each file name on a line in a single textbox (or block, i don't care) so that the user knows what files are available to be read from. The name and number of files within the folder will change frequently, so making a .txt file with all of the file names wouldn't be an acceptable solution.

im pretty much a beginner to using ASP.net and linq to sql but what im trying to do is update a column of a table based on a variable. at the momment i have
Dim db As New sqldcDataContext Dim update As tableName = (From i in db.tableNames _ Select i)
i think this selects everything, how could i have two variables, one to store what table to update and the other what column. is this possible?edit: sorry for being unclear im trying to make this as dynamic as possible so i dont have to type in the exact table/col names. something like this but in the linq to sql syntax.
mysql_query("SELECT * FROM ". $table ." WHERE `" . $column . "` = "" . $data ."");

Are there any side effects to naming the two exception variables the same or should they have different names?
how do I DIM a variable's name using previously declared string varialbes? I have been using PERL for processing data stored in text files but I now have a business need to use VB2008. I would like to do something like this:
dim name1 as string = "ABCD"
dim name2 as string = "123"
'here is the part that I don't know how to do - create a 3rd variable name concatenated from name1 and name2:
dim string.concat({name1,name2}), or maybe use a counter in a line like 'dim namex as string' with x being a counter value.
Essentially I want to dim variables using text strings extracted from a file. In PERL I have declared literals and arrays, such as 'my @$name1', which creates an array named with the contents of $name1. In VB2008 I am not sure how to make this work with the DIM statement.
I'm trying to reduce as much as I can my VB.Net assembly side, and I just figured out that all variable names were kept unchanged in the actual assembly. Since I tend to use pretty long var names, it adds up and, by running dotfuscator on my assembly, I could shrink it by as much as 10%.
