I have been working with getting a recursive directory list function going and an attempt that I was considering doesn't seem to work.As it doesnt seem to return all folders.

I wrote some code yesterday which shows a directory listing of an FTP server and if you click on a folder it will show that directory and their is a back button. But I dont think it is efficient and I can tell there will be a lot of errors.

I have the below code that (not sure exactly where I found it) I am trying to add a recursive rename to all files in the directory. Currently, this code only does a folder at a time, however, I need it to go through all the folders and change all files.

Dim attributes As FileAttributes
GetFileArray()

I'm hoping to improve the performance of the below as well as return the GUID of each user.
I've converted and modified the code found here for searching through groups recursively to get all the members and their details and adding them to a class collection. However I also need to capture the user's managers details so I'm calling the AD twice for each user. This doesn't seem efficient as many of the users will have the same manager. It would seem logical to get the distinct manager details from the collection class and call only these, then replace them wherever they occur in the collection.
I'd also like to be able to get the user's GUID, I've tried accessing it directly as a property of the collection, but it doesn't return anything.
I'm using vs2005 and .Net 2.0

I am using the following Recursive Directory Copy code, and am having a strange issue. I am using this to copy and directory and all subdirectories and files to removable media (flash drive). Everything copies perfectly fine except for 1 file. this occurs on the same file every time and sometimes the file copies successfully, but other times it does not.The problem file is a 7-zip archive with a .7z file extension.When it does not successfully copy, the file is only 8 bytes on the flash drive.[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a MyList (List Of Longs) in which I need the check a specific relation between any two members of that list, if the relation-check returns true I need to delete checked member.I was used to do something like that with 2 For Next Loops, is there a better way. Would it even work that way with Lists?What is happening when an Item is removed from the List that has not been called by the outer For-Next yet? [code]
View 6 RepliesI am trying to write code to save (in a text file) a list of folders/files that are contained in a specified folder. I want the list to be formatted to illustrate the folder tree structure by indenting sub-folders and there related files according to their relationship to the base folder.
I found and incorporated a recursive function for listing file & folders. This works fine for generating the list, but I am having difficulty with code to determine the sub-directory level relative to the base folder. the code that I have included below sort of works.......The problem seeme to be when going from a folder that is multiple levels up? from the base to one that is only one level from the base. Refer to my sample output. This should not be as difficult as I seemed to have made it, but recursion kinda blows my mind.

I wrote a Windows Forms script that searched for all non-hidden and non-readonly folders in my system. But the script itself, when run initially, runs for like 5 minutes. Subsequent opens take much less time. I was wondering if there is a logical error to it, so as to why its running so very slow.

What I want it to do is to have it return an array of relitive file paths, from the starting direcotry I give the function. Then I will use a loop to cycle though each file in the array to make certain changes.
Something like this:

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?
View 5 RepliesI am working on writing a very simple application for work. We have a network drive with several folders. I need to select a directory and then develop a list of all the directories and their paths. For this I am using VB Forms.

View 4 RepliesI'm running into some issues when trying to perform a directory search. For some reason I keep getting a {"Unknown error (0x80005000)"} -2147463168 soon as I try and run the search. When I review the details of the error under item I get "In order to evaluate an indexed property, the property must be qualified and the arguments must be explicitly supplied by the user."I'm running as the domain admin, so I hope I can rule permissions out of the picture. I have tried the ldap string with and without the server nameip address makes no difference.Starting to think there is an issue with AD.

I have some code that builds a treeview and replicates our AD structure - this runs fine.
One issue i found is when searching through the DirectoryEntries it lists all items where i would like to limit them to Organisational Units only. I thought or using the DirectorySearcher but it seems that i would have two operations running at the same time probably doing the same thing but returning slightly different results just to limit to show what i need. Is there a way to tie DirectoryEntries/Entry with a DirectorySeracher to limit results to Organisation Units or is there a way to do this another way and still have it displayed under a treeview?

I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.

View 2 RepliesAm writing a windows app using vb.net 2005. The app captures a string variable from the user. As each file within a directory is read, I want to match the stored string within each file. If I find a match to the string, I want a list box to be populated with the name of the file. I have added Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions and tried using the match collection.
For example: My direcotry has 5 text files. I want to match a string "PARENT" in the text of all these 5 files. The list box should output the name of each file where the string was found.
