View 2 RepliesI am making a program where I want to copy & rename a file. I want to copy a file from a directory which I can choose (by OpenFileDialog1.FileName), then copy or move it to a directory. This directory has been newly made and named (progdirCollin). Let's say the file is called cv.pdf then I want it to be moved to the new dir and rename it Collin.pdf. The extensions can also be .rtf or .doc and I want them to be left unchanged. So I want to copy or move a file, rename it, but keep the extension of the file, which can be all kinds of file (vb.pdf to collin.pdf or vb.txt to collin.txt.)
Explained :
1. Put in the name of the person = V
2. Pick a file with the openfiledialog = V
3. Make a directory with the name of the person in the appdir = V
4. Copy / Move the file to the new directory = V
5. Then rename the file to the persons name, but keep the .doc / .pdf / .rtf etc = ?
All V = Done
What this code will do to the copy?
vb
Using source As New IO.FileStream("source path here", IO.FileMode.Open)
Using target As New IO.FileStream("destination path here", IO.FileMode.Create)
Const BUFFER_SIZE As Integer = 1024
Dim buffer(BUFFER_SIZE - 1) As Byte

Where to begin trying to research building a program that can inventory a program and then build a spreadsheet where I can name tabs based on directory names and then color them according to their level in the directory tree. The number of directories and/or total number of files shouldn't be a limiting factor if possible. I would also like all subdirectories to be after the tab for their parent directory.

I'm working on a Win 7, Office 2010, and VB 2010 Express machine. The purpose of this is to assist with our data retention policy at my company. I want to split up directories on the tabs to make it easier to search and then employee's can go into certain directories to make files they used for a project so those can get archived and the unused files can be deleted.
I'm doing some directory work and in this directory, some of the subdirectories are symbolic links to a different location. I need to be able to determine which directly is a symlink and process them differently.
View 1 RepliesI have to create a windows service which Monitors a specified folder for new files and does someprocessing on it and moves it to other location. I started with using FileSystem Watcher. But my boss doesn't like FileSystemWatcher and wants me to use polling on Timer or any other mechanism other than File System Watcher.
View 8 RepliesI am making a file monitoring tool, what's the best approach in doing that and it returned that I should use filesystemwatcher, others suggested a polling program.
Here's my the current scenario:
My server path (local): C:FilServer
List of folder to monitor for created event:
C:FilServerAB_Incoming - zip files
C:FilServerAC_Incoming - xml and tif files
List of folder to monito for deleted event:
C:FilServerAB_Outgoing - zip files
C:FilServerAC_Outgoing - xml and tif files
When the folder raises event, the detected file will be following this routine:
Move the file to d:ackup and copy to e:source[date][time] and write sumary log.
I am trying to populate a combobox with a list of filenames from a selected directory. I am getting the directory OK but the combobox instead of having a list of 8 files max shown when I select the combobox has a full list of all the files selected from that directory.
Private Sub BrowseButton_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles BrowseButton.Click
If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then
TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath

I'm creating a simple .NET console application where I want to save a file in a folder that's part of the root project, like so: SolutionName.ProjectNameTestData. I want to put test.xml into the TestData folder. However, when I go to save my XDocument, it saves it to SolutionName.ProjectNameinx86Debug Console est.xml.
View 3 RepliesI was wondering how you would go about making it so that, whenever you have a form open, or showing, that it won't allow any other clicks outside of the form content. Kind of like when a critical windows error shows up, and you can't do anything on your computer, until you press the "Ok" button to get rid of that popup message first.
How would you do that with a form?
Let's call it Form 1 and form 2 for example. I have form 1 as a default for when the application starts, but when I want form 2 to show, I want the user to have to deal with that form first before they can do anything else on their computer.
copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.Example:
Source path: C: emp est1.txt
destination path: C:Data
if C:Data doesn't contains "temp" or "test" folder, it should create the folder before copy the 1.txt.[code]....
I'll tell you what I'd like to do which is to create a directory listing of every file inside a specified directory and then use a loop to upload each file in this directory to a remote folder via FTP.

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.

Does anyone know of a way to detect recent activity in a VB.net windows forms application?
We have a retail store where users share floor computers, the application will be on each machine and require a log in before use. I am trying to find a way to automatically close the application if it has been idle for lets say 10 minutes.
I guess I could do something similar with the current windows log on session - set a gp that logs the user out after 10 minutes of inactivity - but if there is an easy, non memory intensive way to do it in vb.net i would rather use that method
I'm in the process of creating a tool that allows users to download stuff from a LAN server. The progress of the download is now being shown as a progress bar that performs a step each time a file is downloaded.
But if the file is a large file (Let's say a 2 GB file) it'll take a while before the progressbar performs a step and the user might think the tool froze up and close it. Now i'm wondering if there's a way to show the activity on the NICs installed. Something like when you open up task manager and go to the "Networking" tab. Showing it as a graph would be awesome or just a percentage is good aswell I have NO idea where I should start looking..

I'm developing a utility that will look through Active Directory and find anyone that hasn't logged in 90, 120, 180, 365 days. Between what I know and researched on here I've pieced together code that works part of the time. When I LDAP a container with approx 2000 or less user objects it will work, but when I LDAP the entire directory it loops through approx 60,000 user objects.Part of the way through it returns the following warning:
ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x4dbc88 to COM context 0x4dbdf8 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.
When I tell it to continue it goes a little further before finally hitting a OutOfMemory Exception:

I'm looking for a way to monitor drive activity using Visual Basic 2008. I want to create a small utility to simulate an LED in the system tray for drive read/write activity. I've found several such utilities that do this, but they all lack one thing or another, or they are over bloated with stuff I don't want or need, etc. I want to write my own so it will be like I want it. To get started, I need to know how to monitor drive activity.
