I am working on an application and I keep getting an InvalidEnumArgumentException when trying to copy a directory. I do not understand why. Here is my code:
Public Class firstSync
Public pcname As String = My.User.Name.Remove(0, My.Computer.Name.Length)

am trying to scan a directory and copy all excel files to a single directoryhere is the codeTry

I have a straight-forward task I'm attempting to accomplish. I have the mechanics down, and need to hammer out the details but I'm stumbling across one small point. :)
This script is supposed to take the files in the local C:Temp directory, and copy them to a selected user's shared directory on the file server.
Protected Sub btnCopy_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnCopy.Click
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("C:Temp", "\MAVERICKVOL1Users" & ddlName.SelectedValue & "DESKTOPRECORDINGS", True)
End Sub
This script does indeed work (and I'm aware I need to create exception handling) but it only copies what contents are on the server's directory of C:Temp rather than the local source directory.
I'm using VB.NET/ASP.NET to achieve this.
How am I able to direct my function to use the local user's directory rather than the remote server?
Is there any simple way to copy a single file out of one directory to a new one?

View 1 Repliesi have several files that are resources in my program and i would like to be able to copy them to the users hard drive for later use for the user. I have tried everything that i can think of, i just can seem to find one that works, the code below is the closest i have gotten, but i get an error on the first part about My.resources.iPad just to let you know, ipad is an exe file.
FileCopy(
My.Resources.iPad, InstallDir.Text)
The error i get says: Error 1 Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'String'.
I've been working on some code to rename files and have being doing so by copying them to the same location under a different name and then removing the original. When I do this for files I use the code ...
Dim file As New System.IO.FileInfo(lstFiles.SelectedItem.ToString)
Dim strNewFile As String
Dim strRename As String
Dim strMask As String = ""
[code]....
This will obviously not work as it will try to copy the folder into itself which is not allowed.

VS sets your project up with the default directory structure: ...indebug which also seems to contain some other files besides your dll (I assume these are related to the debug symbols, etc).So how do you set it up to copy your dll to another directory when debugging?Right now, I'm having to manually copy the built dll with every run and that's getting to be a bit annoying.I'm using VS 2008?
