View 4 RepliesI am trying to copy the entire drive contents of a CF card to another location. For example:
Source Location:
e:DCIM
Destination Location:
X:2010-06-01
What I want to do:
- Copy E:*.* to Destination
- The original file structure can stay the same. I want to copy everything from the root of the Source Drive
I can copy the contents if I set source string to e:DCIM.. But I'm concerned that if I get something that doesn't have the first directory (DCIM) it's going to error.

I am going to need to create a windows form for work that we can connect to a database table, select a directory and move files from the directory that are in the table and move to another folder. The directory will have sub directories that I need to search for the file name and move. I would like to have the table hold the file name (or path) and move all files that are in the database. There might be 20 files or 1000. Depends on the client we are processing for.

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've been trying to figure this out, but have had no luck...Using FileSystemWatcher to monitor a folder and subfolders.I've got everything working fine (inluding cut-paste of a folder), the problem i'm having with is if a directory is moved, there is no way for me to get the contents of the moved folder...and the only event that is fired is a "Changed" event...no rename, nothing else.From the MSDN website:Copying and moving foldersThe operating system and FileSystemWatcherobject interpret a cut-and-paste action or a move action as a rename

First off, I am completely new to VB and have no previous programming experience. I was required to take an Intro to Visual Basic class.
As a result, I was assigned to write a program for my final project. My professor wanted us to challenge ourselves and try to design something we would use. While my fellow classmates chose damage calculators and stat calculators, I chose to write something that would move files around. It was challenging for a beginner, but i figured i would be able to find alot of help in my book and online. I'm impressed at myself that I've made it as far as I have, but I've hit a snag in the road.
The project is due friday, and for the life of me I can't figure out how to move the files... which is a bit of a problem.[code]....
I have a script task inside a for each file loop which moves files from one directory to another. It uses the file.move command which works fine unless the file I am moving already exists in the destination directory. I would like to add the datetime string to the filename before moving it or alternatively an incremental variable to make the filename unique before its moved.
View 4 RepliesCopy or move .exe file when it runs
View 2 RepliesIt keeps throwing an exception like this "Cannot create a file when that file already exists" at this line:
Code:
Directory.Move(contentDirectory, archiveDirectory)
I have checked, and the directory that I am moving, does exist at the source, but does not exist at the destination. I have tried including some console.writelines to make sure my variables are correct, and they look good. The first bit of code works where it creates the new directory, but fails when I try to move anything over to that directory.
Code:
Sub Main()
Dim Guid As String = "test"
Dim archiveName As String = "scripttestone"
Dim contentDirectory As String = "C:content" & Guid
Dim archiveDirectory As String = "C:archive" & archiveName
Dim TodaysDate As Date = Now()

I want to move the file showed in a textbox from a directory to another one. The file showed in a textbox is randomly determined, but once is showed, I want that after press a button it is moved to another directory.
I know the instruction to move files is:
My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile("C:TestDir1 est.txt", _
"C:TestDir2 est.txt")
But which would be the code for a "dynamic file" depending if this file is showed in a textbox?

I have two (Telerik) TreeView controls, let's call them tvSource and tvDest. I want to drag/drop items from tvSource to tvDest. I have this somewhat working, but am experiencing two problems:
1) What it now does is moving the item. Instead I want them to be copied (from tvSource to tvDest), leaving the item in tvSource.
2) To allow items to be dragged from the tvSource control I have to enable DragDrop. With this enabled the user can drag/drop inside the tvSource control, which is not what I want. The items may only be dragged (copied) to an other control (tvDest).
Below is my code so far:
Private blnMouseIsDown As Boolean = False
Private Sub tvSource_MouseDown(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles tvSource.MouseDown

I am developing a fairly complex vb.net program with numerous forms, and custom classes, modules, etc. I want to start reorganizing the various folders for components of the program and have a few stupid questions.For one, I find that I cannot take a working executable and move it to a different folder on the same machine and have it work. My program drives numerous slave applications and I would like to group just the executables in a common folder. Do I need to carry additional files along with them to make them 'portable' on my own machine? I haven't discovered how to copy or move an existing project to a new folder. Things seem to blow up because of internal project references etc. Is there some way of copying or duplicating a working project without problems resulting?
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to copy/move (whichever works in the end) a picture from my resources in my program, to the startup path.
However, when i try it, it tells me that the file could not be found.
System.IO.File.Copy(My.Resources.Image, PATH, False)That will turn up with an error telling me that the value of type Bitmap cannot be converted to string. So i figured i would try to put a .ToString behind it, and then i'll get the File Not Found error.
I have downloaded a program for moving files and it accepts visual basic instructions. I want to down a level all the files from multiples subdirectories to its parent directory. Example:
I have this:
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X012X01.avi
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X022X02.avi
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X032X03.avi
And I want to have all the files in just one directory, like this:
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X01.avi
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X02.avi
C:VIDEOSTHEWIRESEASON 22X03.avi
I am making a VB.NET application linked to a database. when you press the button 'generate' it is writes (fairly simple) webpages to a folder in your destkop. what I tried was adding a build-in uploader to my website, but my host didn't supported that. ok, not that big of a deal, and completely out of context but now let's get to the core of my problem;
I wanted to have an image in the resources (none made yet) and have it copied out the resources and placed along with the webpages (to use it as background image). I have tried a lot (clearly not everything or it would work) but I just don't manage to solve this. the problem is I need to be able to do this, since I want to have my .accdb in the resources to, so that it copies out when used an writes (an updated version) back to the resources and deletes the external file. but I never seem to manage to do this. I tried to read,write and other things it with IO and everything, just getting the message that it cannot be read. but I never seem to find how to copy/move it outside the program. the code I am using now looks like this:
Imports System.Reflection
Imports System.IO 'this is for the writing of the .HTML files
Imports System
Public Class webGenerator

I'm trying to move a lot of pictures from FOLDER A to another, FOLDER B. However, some of the pictures already exists in the FOLDER B. This stops my program saying it cannot copy the pictures over because they already exist. I'm trying to make it so any pictures from FOLDER A will copy over the pictures in FOLDER B if they are similar in name. Like... Folder A's pictures will just replaced the Folder B pictures if they have the same name. I was told to use the System.IO.File.Copy tool. Here is my code.

I have a WinForms app with SQL05 backend. It has a standard Login window where users are required to supply a username/password. This is validated using my own code and sprocs. Now one of my big clients has scared the bejezus out of me by saying, "Hey Chris, I want you to change your app in line with all our other IT systems so that users can use their common username and passwords with authentication against LDAP". :confused: Having had a moment to reflect, I have some questions (some very noob in nature!)
1. Is this requirement a big deal? :) Or straightforward to implement?
2. Does this mean that when user's double-click my app icon on the desktop, the authentication automagically happens without the need for a Login screen?
3. How on earth can I test this. My dev environment does not use AD, but I do have SBS2003
4. Can anyone point me to good resources about this on the web?

Ideally I'd like to be able to copy/move between an accessible folder on my local drive and a network share that I don't have permission to access (but the application would). I am using impersonation to give me access to the files in the network share but using System.IO File.Move or File.Copy forces me to use the same credentials for each location. Is there a way around this?

I already know how to moniter the printqueue and pause the job but I can not figure out how to move the job to Copy it to another printer och somehow capture the job and send it to another printer.
