Select A Directory And Move Files From The Directory
Apr 8, 2011
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 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.
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:
I am using the following code to allow the user to select a directory and then list the appropriate files within that directory in a combobox. What I would like to do is sort that combobox into a descending order so the most resent files are listed first as the filename contains a date yymmdd.
ComboBox1.Items.Clear() If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then TextBox1.Text = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath End If Dim BackupFolder As String = TextBox1.Text
how can i either copy/move/rename & delete a file in program files directory? [c ode]i already have the form which grabs the updated file and it save it to temp directory ready for copying, just stuck here as of the access denied.
I'm trying to get files from a directory and all the sub directory's to show in a checked list box. This is my first time working with arrays?here is the code
Public Class add_to_play_list 'IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory & "\x"' Dim Home As String Dim Fi As New ArrayList
[code]....
I have a sansa fuze and i have to make my own playlist for it so i want to have the program read the songs that are on there and show it to you in the list box and you can check off the ones you want then it will read the mp3 files to make the playlist, it needs the path, name, and duration from the mp3 file. i can get the name and the path so far...
Here is my current code, and it works fine to choose one image and copy it, however, I cannot figure out how to allow multiple file selections then copy them to a new folder.
Imports System.IO Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim strFileName As String
i am trying to move a file (test.txt) from say from:[code]I understand from the MSDN forum, i can use this File.Copy(pathA, pathB) OR Directory. Move(pathA, pathB) where pathA = C:folder_ est.txt and pathB = C:folder_ est.txt
All I am trying to do is write a simple program that will let me choose a directory and get a listing of all files in that directory and its sub-directories and show it in a RichTextBox. I got as far as being able to select the directory but when I click "OK" I get "access to c:documents and settingsstevedesktopmp3 is denied".The code I am using is listed below.
how to copy, delete, show files, show current directory, change directory, make folder, rename folder. My problem is i have a method on deleting a file and copying a file, but i don't know how to pass the method so that when i click the delete button it would let me choose what file to delete. By the way im using buttons on each function.[code...]
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]....
It 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() [Code] .....
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'm trying to make a program to gather Photoshop Brushes (File type is *.abr) and move them to the photoshop brush directory. I've been looking at this little bit of code and am stumped as of where to start
I'm creating a simple .NET console application where I want to save a file in a folder that's part of the root project, like so: SolutionName.ProjectNameTestData. I want to put test.xml into the TestData folder. However, when I go to save my XDocument, it saves it to SolutionName.ProjectNameinx86Debug Console est.xml.
In vb.net how do you check if a ANY directory exists inside a directory I would need to know if there is a folder inside the c:windows directory (WITHOUT knowing if there is ANY directory is in there).
copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.Example:
Source path: C: emp est1.txt destination path: C:Data if C:Data doesn't contains "temp" or "test" folder, it should create the folder before copy the 1.txt.[code]....
I'll tell you what I'd like to do which is to create a directory listing of every file inside a specified directory and then use a loop to upload each file in this directory to a remote folder via FTP.
I am trying to create a new user and set their password in AD LDS using asp.net vb. I'm binding to an instance of a directory entry, which is working fine. And I can add a user without a problem. The problem is that I can't seem to set the password when I add the user.Is this the right way to set the password
Is it possible (I'm sure it is) to validate a user's credentials against Active Directory without using Directory Services?I'm building a Browser-Based WPF application which requires users to login to and get validated via Active Directory. Since .Net 4.0 (or maybe 3.5) accessing Directory Services from an Application requires the application to be fully trusted. Since IE won't provide full trust to an application if it doesn't have the signing certificate in it's cert store, the application is refused startup permission.
If I don't use Directory Services, then I can leave the application as Partial Trust and validate my user's credentials without having to install a certificate on each user's machine.
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?
I am trying to create a program which will read the files that exist in a directory, and then write in a text file the specific information (full file name, date created)i have found several code in the site but i cant make it work, the machine i am running the code is XP and i am using VB2008.The code i have found is the following:
I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?
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 am attempting to compare two directory trees. I have the program map the network drive and copy a directory. I need it to verify that the files copied successfully by comparing the source to the destination. If comparison returns equal then perform action1, if comparison returns unequal then perform action2.
In my asp.net page I'm making a copy of a file from my local drive to the server.[code]But when I run this code asp.net throws an exception:But I can browse to this file easily.
