Locates A USB When Plugged In And Then Copy Them To A Certain Directory
Jul 27, 2009
Im trying to make a program that locates a USB when plugged in and then copy them to a certain directory and then stop the USB from being accessed until you untick the checkbox that controls that directory and sorry I don't have any code
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?
I have some problem with copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.
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...]
This is my code for loading list of plugged in USB devices:
Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click ListBox4.Items.Clear() For Each Drive As IO.DriveInfo In IO.DriveInfo.GetDrives
[code]....
I would like when a button (lets say buttontest) is pressed it will show all files of a CD (only MP3) into ListBox5, then when buttontest2 is pressed the files in ListBox 6 will be copied from the CD to the selected USB device?
I'm wanting to explore the options of having external hardware plugged into a USB port or Serial Port so my computer can communitcate with buttons or visa versa.

How and where can I start on this?
Also are Serial Ports on there way out and should I focus on USB?
I'm trying to do is write a small program that copies a file from a USB to another directory so a program already installed on the computer can load this data. Usually copying files from one directory into another wouldn't be an issue.
Im trying to copy a file from one directory to another. I have this error..The process cannot access the file 'E:\MainMovie\Did you hear about the Morgans\frontCover.jpg' because it is being used by another process.Im displaying an image in my main interface and ive added a file browse dialog to add your own picture.How can i free up the resource? dispose of the picture 1st because it is in memory? [code]
ive been have a bit of a problem with copying a file to another directory.In my app i display an image, i provide an browse for a new picture button.This feature will copy the file from the users choosen directory and copy it and place it into a specific directory.

FileCopy(strSource, strDestination) This is the way i know to copy one file from one directory to other.But how about copying multiple files? Like copying *.txt from Folder1 to Folder2.
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 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) Sub firstsync()[code]......
I signed-up to this website to have this question answered because it has been bugging me for like a week now..I have searched the forums on countless sites and found nothing.[code]...
i 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.
This is rather hard to explain but, I want to find a way to copy a file to another directory (where the file has already been executed, and cannot be access using normal means).I'm having a really hard time with this, it was easier in vb6, it basically unhooked itself from the executable after it started
Is it possible to copy a file from the application's resources to a directory? If so, I want the file "system.dat", that i added to the resources to be copied to lets say: My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory + "system.dat" when i press button1. How do I do that?
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile( My.Resources.system, My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory + "system.dat") But it gave an error "Value of type '1-dimensional array of Byte' cannot be converted to 'String'."
Where do I add the dll to my project, is says to add it to my application's root directory? I am using VB.Net Express, windows form application.Close counts in horseshoes, handgranades and nuclear missiles!
I'm trying to copy a image for a directory, that my program create if it doesn't exists. The directory is create successfully but the image isn't copy. The error is "couldn't find a part of path".
Here is my vb Private Sub btImg_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btImg.Click Try If Not IO.Directory.Exists("img") Then IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("img") [Code] .....
