I am trying to achieve something which am doing very wrong, though the idea is present. I am trying to a move subfolders within a folder from the server the application is running to another server.
The code I have is shown below:
Private Sub MoveFiles()
Label2.Text = "F:New Folder (3)TestzippingutilityTestzippingutility1DailyCollection"
Label5.Text = "G:ippinyUtilityTestFolder"
Dim sFilename As String = ""
For Each myFile As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles(Label2.Text, "*.*")
[Code] .....
Problems:
1) myFile - reads files and NOT FOLDERS. This has to move folders instead.
2) ("fi.MoveTo ('destination')", - is not a sqlcommand and its not practically correct. If I ran it as it is, receive teh error message Sqlexception was unhandled. Incorrect syntax near 'destination'.

I have a directory structure as follows;
ad_folder
--folderA
--folderB
--folderC[code]....
at I do not know the number of or the names of the folders, they can be different in different cases, I only have the root path.how I can display folder contents in VB.net and the code worked but couldn't figure out how to create the arrays and display only folders within folders starting with "ad_".
System.IO.DirectoryInfo and System.IO.FileInfo to be used for getting the folders.A literal control can be used to create javascript arrays in ASP.NET. These js arrays can then be used on the client side.

It appears that when IO.Directory.GetFiles tries to read a folder that it doesn't have access to it throws an exception & stops reading. Is there any way to have skip those folders & continue reading the rest of the folders?

I have seen lots of examples with a treeview to list folders then display the folders context in a listview.
But what id like is a checked treeview, that not only displays the folder list, but the actually folder contents as well.

I need help with file enumeration. I'm trying to create a program that can list files, folders and sub folders locations in a log file for diagnostic purposes. After it searches it can open notepad and display the results. The problem I'm having is that I'm a beginner and not familiar with file enumeration.

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

Have built a project and associated it with a Setup&Deployment Project. The S&D project needs to contain 2 main folders (under User's Desktop) with various formats of files (xmls, txts, dlls) inside them and several subfolders. How can i copy/import these 2 folders and there sub-files/folders into my s&d project?
When adding them in the usual way, they are copied and defined a source path onto the current pc. You can understand what errors this might create when an another targeted pc does not contain those files to the exact location. Is there any way to copy them locally or somehow import them?

Is there a quicker way to check directories? For example I want to check if the folder "A Folders" contains folders from 000A all the way to 999A then lists the folder that are missing? Do you think this is possible?

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

How does one go about moving a directory using VS2005? I have a treeview that is populated with the network's directory structure, but only on a much smaller scale. When the folder is selected in the treeview, the full path is displayed in a label.
This is the source folder. The destination folder will be hardcoded. The issue is that its only moving the files within the source folder and not the folder and its contents. I have tried using the Directory.Move but kept getting an odd error, "Cannot create a file when that file already exists." It doesn't exist in the destination folder...odd[code...]

i am working on a app. and i need to know how can i share floders that the app will use to save flies over the net. i was thinking about crearting a data base that would save all the files on to it , and then share the data base with fellow co workers, but i do not know how to add a excel file or word doc. in the database. i am pretty new to all of this so any help would be great. the app is writen in visual studio 2010.
basical it will let the user access the file he needs to compelte his work off shore. the files are created and saved as he needs them. once he is finished, i need the app to send the floder to some type of server ( dont have a server yet) so that the office and other co workers can see the files when they run the app.

I have two folders at different locations but with the same name. A file is generated in one of the folders and it is to be copied to the other folder but without overwriting the existing contents in C#.File.Copy overwrites the contents which makes me lose the previous contents. Is it possible to merge the contents in the folder?

In subversion/TortoiseSVN, I am wondering how to un-version a directory. We have a large number of projects, each with a BIN and OBJ folder which are under source control. I want to delete these two folders from subversion, but keep the folders locally.I tried the "Delete (Keep local)" option, and that works on my machine. However when another developer performs an Update, their BIN and OBJ folders get deleted. I need it to simply become unversioned when the other developers perform an update, instead of having them removed from their machines.
