I am only getting files in current directory. how to get all files included the directory and all sub directories?
I am trying to copy a directory with sub directories and files to another location on my computer. Whenever I try, I get the following error, through my "console":
$>Error: System.IO.IOException: The directory is not empty.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.Directory.DeleteHelper(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive)

i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String()
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fi As FileInfo
[code]......
However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.
I'm having a problem when I list .rar-files into a ListBox. I can list .rar-files OK from subdirectories, but what I want to determine if the file is actually the first part of .rar-archive. The new .rar-format packs files like:
Archive.part01.rar
Archive.part02.rar
Archive.part03.rar
...
So I have no idea when I'm listing the first part of the archive or actually listing the other parts.

If FolderPath = "" Then
Return False

one of the BIG hurdles in my simple project, making a search engine. I don't know how at all. The search engine need only to search in one Directory with its sub directories and txt files for criteria, and display the results, with option open from the results. any basic code or example maybe?

so what i need to do for my project is to populate a listbox with files from a certain directory (C:folder)
then once it's populated, i can select an item and it will open up in a rich text box.
This is what i have so far for the active directory > list box:
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsuserDesktopfolder")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo

how to copy files listed in a listbox to a new specified directory?my code isn't showing any errors but doesn't work..
Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Try
Dim path As String = "c:krishna folderwallpaper files"
Dim di As DirectoryInfo = Directory.CreateDirectory(path)

The idea is to click Button1, for it to open a browser window, then select 1 or more files from a directory and add them to ListBox1.Currently I'm using a very basic method that adds all files from a directory to my ListBox
Dim files() As String = IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:Users")
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
For Each file As String In files
[code].....
I have it set so when button3 is clicked that the listbox displays the textfiles in a designated folder.[code]Now what I would like to have happen is a way for: Selected listbox2.item (A.txt, B.txt, or C.txt) read the selected textfile into Textbox1.text(I want to click on A, B, or C and have it just open/read that textfile into the textbox.)I have a feeling this is something simple - but for some reason I am having trouble grasping it.
View 6 RepliesWe have a button, textbox and a folder browser... We made it so that when you click the button it shows the folder browser dialog.. And you choose your folder/path, then it shows the selected path in textbox.. We are succesful on this.. But now weve added a listbox, And when you selected the path it will do this..

VB.net 2008 express This is what I have so far, and it loads a list of files from a text file. Now I need to be able to delete them all from a certain drive and all sub folders in it. For instance I push the delete button and it goes through the entire list and deletes all the files in it from the designated drive and all it's sub folders.

I want to add all image files in the current directory into my listbox1 when i press button1 Just like how u may open by OpenFileDialog or Drag & Drop but I want it to move all .jpg files in the current directory into the listbox so i do not have to use OpenFileDialog or Drag & Drop I am not sure how I can do this and the only code I could think about using is something linking to current directory.
View 3 Repliesmy knowledge of VB.net is limited and i'm really trying hard to figure this problem out...
what i did was create a list box and populate it with a directory ("C:Documents and Settingsuserfolder1")...
once the listbox displays the files from the directory, i want to select a certain file and that file will be opened up in a rich text box.What i found to display the directory in a listbox is:
Dim directory As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:Documents and SettingsjtanDesktopRECV")
Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = directory.GetFiles()
Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
Dim files As String

How do I copy a folder and all subfolders and files in .NET?
I'm trying to copy a buntch of sub directories to a different directory. I'm wanting to update this code:
Dim fso As System.Object = New System.Object
fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
fso.copyfolder(sour, dest)
[Code].....
Is there a easier way of doing this with less lines of code like the fso As System.Object version? Also, I have System.IO imported however File.Copy and Directory.GetFiles are not colored blue, could this be the issue? I have the System loaded as a reference.
I am writing a simple GUI for a 7-Zip command that will zip multiple directories, with two files in the working directory, to their own separate archives.

View 2 RepliesThe sub below will show all of the directories contain with a directory
Code:
Private Sub showDirectories(ByVal rootDirectory As String)
Dim rootDirectories() As String = IO.Directory.GetDirectories(rootDirectory)
[code]....
When I run this code I can use any directory as the root directory except My Documents.When I use the directory path with My Documents, as well as finding all of the folders contained in My Documents, it finds three extra: My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. Those three folders do not exist at all in My Documents. I have checked hidden files and folder and they are definately not there yet the showDirectories() sub says that they are.The exact error is: Access to the path 'C:UsersMichaelDocumentsMy Music' is denied.It's dened because the folder doesn't exist. I have checked myself using Windows Explorer!Despite this, when I type 'file:///C:/Users/Michael/Documents/' in the address bar of Google Chrome, it shows all of the files and folders in My Documents and, guess what, it shows the folders My Music, My Pictures and My Videos. But Windows Explorer doesn't show these! The strange thing is, for each of the folders, the last Date Modified was 23/01/2011 13:42:49 exactly. Each of the folders was last modified at that exact second simultaneously!I have 3 "ghost" folders "haunting" my My Documents. Is there any programs out there that perform "exorcisms" cause I am seriously freaked out!Perhaps this is the wrong place to post this. When I started writing this thread, it was about Visual Basic but now I realise it has nothing to do with programming at all.
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 RepliesRecently I have browsed the web for ways to display a list of files and folders in a list box. I have successfully been able to display files in drive C and get a nurerical value telling how many files were found. However my efforts have been hampered by three distinct problems. I have some experience using batch files and when using them you can state things like "%WINDER%" to go directly to windows folder. I am wondering if there's anything like that used for navigating. And if so could an example be made of it just for clarity?
My second problem is I cant seem to be able to display files and folders. I have been limited to one or the other. That and I cant figure out how to navigate into them to display there contents. The next problem I have is simply having a user interface so you could type a file path or file extention and have the program navigate to it. Is it is possible to click a file path in a list box and chose to delete it. My second last Q how do I display all files and folders including hidden files? And How can I count all files and folders with there contents to dissplay in a listbox.
I have a situation where i get a list of directories link for files in a listbox. let say i hav 5 links of diectories of a file in the listbox. how do check each directories for their md5 in the listboxt and have the value of the retrieve md5 in another new list box. i want to create a md5 file checker or scanner. need all the expert help on this cause i have been coding this program a month ago using visual basic 2010 express. i need a list of working code on my failing program...

Unfortunately i was unable to add items in a listview using the function getdirectories("D:")I managed to do so with listbox control. But how can i distinguish whether the selected entry is a file or a directory. Code snippet is given below :

<strong>sel = ListBox1.SelectedItem</strong>
ListBox1.Items.Clear()

I want that if thesel is file, then it'll be open in its default application,i.e. using system.process.start(sel.filetype).Else if sel is a directory then the directory will open.

I need an ideea for my directory list.I want to able to navigate from one directory to other with a "next button". Now I'm using a listbox saved in a text file, but i don't know how to make the selection for "next directory".I'm only able to click on the list. And what I thinking was if it is posible to have a better list, advanced, like a table with more columns like: url, if url is valid, pagerank for example, and maby sort by this filtres.

I have tried a few ways, mainly 'copying' the code from this recent codebank submission. However, I keep getting the obvious cross-thread call issue that I am adding nodes to the 'node' parameter, which is not allowed.
I am at a loss at how to do this otherwise. How can I update a Treeview like this if I have to recursively add nodes to the 'node' parameter, which is not 'available' in a separate thread?
So this is what I have right now, I can get it to copy But I am wanting to rename the files with the date inside of the new Directory name, It is going to be used for making a copy of outlook.pst files. But as you can see I can't put in concrete names of where to save it because I want the user to be able to choose where to save it as it will be saved on a server with folders for each individual user.
