View 6 RepliesOpen File Retain The Directory Of The Last Opened File?
Jan 10, 2010So I open files and do whatever with them right. I've set the initial directory to equal the last directory, but whenever I open multiple files, it never sets the directories properly. It acts as though nothing was opened there, so it takes the previous directory as the last one. Thoughts on what's not working? Here's the code.
Code:
With FileOpenDialog1
.InitialDirectory = LastDirectory
If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then

I have multiselect enabled earlier and everything else works but this. When you open a single file, the last directory works fine. It only happens with multiselect.On another note, does anyone know why it freezes when I try to do a lot of files and use another program? I opened 700+ files to see what would happen. When I switched to a IM convo, it froze. When I left it to run, it worked.

Aug 16, 2010I have several groups of files with idential names, but the files inside may or may not have identcal names, and may differ only in the size or date stamp.

Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?

Compress A File Open On Another Application?
Jul 31, 2011I have a program I made in vb.net express 2008 that used java.utils.zip to compress my work files to a Zip archive that I ran occassionaly to have a backup. I worked fine, but with net framework 4 and vb.net 2010 it doesn't work. So I modified it to use sharpziplib and it works fine if all files on the filter list in the folder are closed, but if I have a file open in OpenOffice writer, my program can't access it and won't create the zip file. The file that usually stays open all the time is my TODO list, that is updated several times a day , so usually gets printed, and updated( adding or deleting entries), without closing it.
