Get The Full Directory Of A File?
Mar 18, 2011
I am trying to get the full directory of a file. The file name is "GraphFix.txt". I know the directory up to a certain point and then in between the directory and the file there is a folder that is different on every computer and i need to get the full directory with that folder in it. I was thinking if i know the directory path up to a certain point i can just search the directory for that specific file and in return it will tell me the full path including that folder.

I need to access Mozilla FireFox's cache, but the path to it is different in each PC. Well, kind of.
This is the path: C:Users%USERPROFILE%AppDataLocalMozillaFirefoxProfiles*.defaultCache"
The ".default" folder will always have that extension, but the asterisk part is different on each PC.[code]...

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:
[code]...
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 have made quite a nice and tidy little game. Its based around space invaders and works quite well. however because i have finished my college project almost 2 weeks ahead of the assignments release date, my tutor has asked me to tweak my project and make it better.So far i have added a full main menu to the game and a full splash screen. I would like to add in a section for recorded high scores but have no idea how to attempt this at all.

I am attempting to compare two directory trees. I have the program map the network drive and copy a directory. I need it to verify that the files copied successfully by comparing the source to the destination. If comparison returns equal then perform action1, if comparison returns unequal then perform action2.

How do I get the full file system path to my DLL? I have found a number of calls/properties for "Name", "FullName" etc. The closest I have come is to call Me.GetType().Module.Assembly.GetName().CodeBase. But that string has stuff appended to the front of the actual filename. Plus I don't know if a codebase is always available (say if I don't do "regasm /codebase" on my assembly.I simply want something like "c: empmyproject.dll". That is, what GetModuleFileName would return. Surely I don't have to call Marshal.GetHINSTANCE(Me.GetType().Module).ToInt32()) and then directly invoke the Windows GetModuleFilename API for something so basic.ps. I always wonder why there is an "Alert me" check box at the bottom of the post page. Never been alerted although it is always checked (my profile has my e-mail address).

I have 2 programs.
Prog1.exe is in folder1
Prog2.exe is in folder1/subfolder
When I execute this in Prog1,
Process.Start("subfolder/Prog2.exe")
Prog2 runs.
But...When I execute this in Prog2,
Dim sw as new streamwriter("1.txt")
sw.write("something")
sw.close
1.txt is created in folder1, and not subfolder.
I can do a easy workaround by passing the full file path when creating the streamwriter, but I just want to know if it's a bug or what.

When I look at a file on my hard disk, e.g. test.csv, when I look at the Properties of the file, it is officially known as, "Microsoft Office Excel Comma Separated Values File", and file types of .pdf are listed as "Adobe Acrobat Document", etc. etc. All of this information can be seen in Windows Explorer too when my folders are displayed by Details. How do you get at this "type of file" information with .NET?

My program has to store files externally to work with. Before now the path was fixed at C:/DSGameMaker, I did the following:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("C:/DSGameMaker/data.dat")
However I want to let users install the program wherever they want, so I changed that line and others to:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")
Which works great, until you do this:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("D:/X/Y.Z")
As soon as I put a fixed path into the ReadAllText function it changes the relative path to D:/X. Which means the following function looks inside D:/X instead of the apps directory:
System.IO.File.ReadAllText("data.dat")
And complains that "D:/X/data.dat" is not found.
How can I use relative paths but also read from full file names, for example from an OpenFileDialog, without VB changing my relative path, and breaking it all from then onwards?
