basically, i'm creating a program that is saving text files based on user input.
another screen is then needing to transfer the saved information into textboxes.
to do this i want the saved .txt files' titles to shows in a listbox, and when each selection is made, the textboxes are populated with the information in the .txt files.
I want the files names in a specific folder to show in a combox box. How can I accomplish this?

I'm trying to populate a listbox with every file that was last accessed more than a year ago but I've hit a snag, i cannot get the fileinfo for some files because the path is too deep, is there a way round this
Dim drivestring As String = lstBoxDrives.SelectedItem.ToString
Dim directoryName As String
Dim fileName As String
Dim accesstime As Date
Dim FileProps As IO.FileInfo

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I have problem with Sorting ListBox in Visual Basic 2008. When I load names from some files (file's name is number_name like="156_blabla") and I need sort it by that number
It is:

102_name2
1026_name3
And I need it:
102_name2
1018_name1
1026_name3

When the uses selects a printer from the ComboBox I then need to set a PrintDialog.PrintQueue to the PrintQueue that corresponds to the select name (which is a string). Here's the code I tried that's not working.

This next program I am working on consists of 3 listbox's. The idea is to have the end user load names in the first and second list box. Then have a button's action when pressed combines the list in listbox1 with listbox2 then gives the output combination in listbox 3.
I also wanted to include some checkbox options such as adding a "_" or "." for every item.
Here is a thinking map of how I want it to work.

I have a Report I created with Visual Studio's VB.Net ( I guess this makes my report embedded), which I can select a date range like starting and ending date but the drop-down listbox for the Name is empty and I have to type a name into it to work.

View 6 RepliesOkay, so the title was horrible. I know that. Here's what I'm trying to do:I have a lot of data that's coming from a database and being adding to a listbox. The data that's coming from the database is a unique ID, and a name. Is there any way I can make the item contain both the ID and name? I know I can append it, that's not what I'm looking to do. I need a way to be able to either get the ID, or get the name, while displaying them both.I have gotten as far as creating a class:
Class Item
Property ID as Integer
Property Name as String

Now when a name appear in the names.Text disappear in the listname(listbox) except the last one.But I want to keep all names in the Listames because I want start the process again with a timer. Now I have to close and open the App when I need start the process again but I want to keep all items in the ListBox and Start the process again from the first Items.
I've given up on my harder stuff and have simplified it to something else. There are no errors that pop up now but the list box doesn't populate! I took the code from a book and there's a data adapter, data connection, and data set on the form already (they're not named in this code though, since the book didn't say to). When the program opens, the list box has a line of text in it and the list box doesn't fill with the right items.

Dim dsitemlist As New DataSet

I come from Access and I am developing now my first windows form app in visual basic 2010 based on a Access database *.mdb. The thing is i have an access db with 5 tables. I have created the forms, connected to the database, all is working great. Parent- child relations are working, datagrids and comboboxes populate the right way, buttons are working.
But now I want to populate listbox, and combox from tables with queries. Like in access I would like, for example to populate two different listboxes bound to the same table with different queries, so that the listboxes give different results, based on different variables or textboxes.
But I don't know how to attack the problem: the query works against the tableadapter, so the info it gives back is always the same. I have tried to duplicate the tableadapter of the table i want to query, writing different sql queries in both, but it does not seem to work. I don't know in what direction I should ivestigate: LINQ, sql queriess, coded queries, filtering the listbox...
