Search Directories For A File?
Aug 12, 2009
I have an issue with avoiding this exception and trying to continue on with my code.im trying to search directories for a file. this is my code
vb.net
Dim As FileInfo() = d.GetFiles()'Errors here
Dim fFile As FileInfo
For Each fFile In Files
If Not fFile.Attributes = FileAttributes.System Then
If fFile.Extension = Extension Then
[Code]...
It's the files located in the C:System Volume Information Directory.How can i avoid the exception but continue on. I can't put a if then statement around the variable declaration. because then i can't use the variable. And catching the exception just causes my routine to stop.

i have been trying to search a specified directory and all sub directories for all files that have the specified file extension. However the inbuilt command is useless as it errors up and dies if you dont have access to a directory.
Private Function dirSearch(ByVal path As String, Optional ByVal searchpattern As String = ".exe") As String()
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fi As FileInfo
[code]......
However i get an "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when i try to access the data stored inside the filelist string array.

I have a series of text files in multipule diffrent sub directories. I found the following functions on the Internet:
CODE:
The functions will make a direcotry tree in my debug window, that looks something like this:
CODE:
What I want it to do is to have it return an array of relitive file paths, from the starting direcotry I give the function. Then I will use a loop to cycle though each file in the array to make certain changes.
Something like this:
CODE:
Any ideas on how to acomplish this?

The above code reads all the files & directories in a selected path. It ignores any hidden folders, like it suppose to. Except it doesn't ignore folders inside of the hidden folders that it finds & I need it to.I can't quite wrap my head around how to make it ignore all folders & files inside of a hidden folder that it find.

I am wanting to retrieve all the files in some directories. Here is my original code:
Private Function Search(path As String, Recursive As Boolean) As Boolean
Dim dirInfo As New IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim fileObject As FileSystemInfo
If Recursive = True Then
For Each fileObject In dirInfo.GetFileSystemInfos()
[Code] .....
This code works well, yet it returns some directories and I am wanting to only return files. I tried this code:
Private Sub Search(ByVal path As String, ByVal Recursive As Boolean)
if not Directory.Exists(path) then Exit Sub
Dim initDirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(path)
For Each oFileInfo In initDirInfo.GetFiles
[Code] .....
However, I get the following error:
Access to the path 'C:UsersSimonAppDataLocalApplication Data' is denied.
I have added this module to get it working:
Imports System.Security.Principal
Module VistaSecurity
'Declare API

This is a follow-up questions to the following post: [URL]
Below (Example 2) is working code for populating a treeview with directories only down to 1 level. Note just directores are added- No files. I want to add a Listview control beside my treeview and have the Listview populated with the "files" from the selected node in the treeview. This would fire off the NodeMouseClick event of the treeView. I have used Example 1 (NodeMouseClick) before with other code that I have. However, I cannot get the code to work with the Example 2 code below
how to change the Example 1 code to work with Example 2?
Example 1

ByVal e As TreeNodeMouseClickEventArgs) _

I have a website (coded in vb.net) with an "admin" section (the admin section being a folder in the actual site)... So in every page of the site I'm using my own custom class as the page base (which has been set in the web.config file) but I want to inherit from different class for the files in the "admin" folder... Is there any way to inherit different classes for pages in different folders using the web.config or some other equally as global method? (meaning some other way than inheriting on a per page basis.)

I 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. I want to combine them to save all unique directory names, and unique file names, and if the date/sizes are unique, then add some number on the end of the file name to make them unique as well. Only idential file sizes and names and dates will be discarded. How do you open directories to compare directory/file names and other properties?

I'm creating a search function to search through a binary file and find a record based on the users input. Surprisingly, that isn't the problem! The problem I'm having is that as part of this I'm using a procedure to display results in text boxes, and I'm getting the error "Too many arguments to private sub display customer"I've encountered this error before, but never really knew what it was... Here is my code.

I am new to VB but I do have VS2005 and I was looking at some code examples here on deleting files by days old and I need to do something similar, I would like to start a say C:myData**.xit and search through all sub folders under myData and move all the .xit files based on days old into a temp folder. Then I could verify them before I delete them manually to be safe. So how do I loop through all sub folders? and can I just modify this code to do that? Here is the code I was thinking about starting with [URL].
Dim files As System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection(Of String)
Dim singlefile As String
Dim CreatedOn As Date

When attempting to collaborate with other employees, it is necessary to contact them. CompanyX needs a tool that allows an employee to quickly get another employee�s contact information and general business context that employee works in. The tool should allow searching (including partial matches) by employee name or employee id. If multiple employees are returned by a search, a list of the employees matching the search criteria should be displayed with the following data for each employee: first name, last name, employee id, division (one division has many employees), organization (one organization has multiple divisions), and job title. If only one employee matches the search criteria (or if one employee is selected in the list described above), the tool should display full data. Full data for an employee consists of first name, last name, employee id, nickname, division, organization, job title, phone number, cell phone number, pager, USPS address, fax number, internal mail address.
Let me start with the basic of this: the search. I have never had to do a search using web services. With that said I have tried to apply what I know about doing a search from a database and came up with this
Partial Class Search
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
