I have a picture box which reads in an image from a folder to display, instead of having the usual boring image I thought it may be nice to have a number of images in the folder and let my vb.net program randomly pick one out to use.

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.

So how would I use .next (random numbers) to randomly select something from a list of numbers but it can't repeat the number?I could do:
dim num as integer
dim r as new random
num = r.next(1,5)
if num = 1 then
elseif num = 2 then
etc.
That wouldn't work because it would repeat.If I donwload someone's game can I disect it in VS? :0 I tried going to open project, then I went to the folder and clicked open. It brought me inside of the folder so I tried to open the game but there is no form1 there. It says the games name then .exe in the explorer-like thing in the top right?Also, how would I have a value or something in a label and access it from a button.
Example:This is in a label.
Dim number as Integer
number = 0
Then in the button do
Label.number = 0
How would I do something like that? I want to use that a lot as I did in a different language.

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?

What I would want, is a way to get a count of how many sub-folders another folder consists of. For instance, if "c:TestAppTestFolder" contains the sub-folders "Videos", "Pictures and "Audio", I would somehow want to get the code to get the value '3' in this case.

My application is very simple:
In my Resources folder, there are four folders. Each has a couple .png images in them.In my form, I have four checklists and one picturebox.
When my application loads, I want each checklist to populate with the names of the images (one checklist for each folder)
When the user clicks on a checklist, the Picturebox will display the corresponding image.

I'm trying to select the files and folders inside a folder to zip up, but what it seems to be doing is selecting all the folders up to the folder i've selected and the files in the final folder but not the folders in there and zipping them up. So for example in tbFolder I have the string: "C:Users ombDesktopDeOldMota7" I want to select this folder and zip up the entire contents of this folder, images and all. But whats happening is the following:
Its creating the folder structure up to the folder i want zipped and adding just the files in side this and not the folders. I'm guessing I need to tweak the line:
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(DirectoryToZip)
Here is the entire code:
Private Sub btnCreate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnCreate.Click
Dim ZipFile As String = "C:Releases" & drpService.Text & "-" &

I have a VB/C# .NET 2.0 project that, if possible, I would like to customize the OpenFileDialog box to select a directory rather than a file. The reason for this is because the FolderBrowserDialog is ugly and a pain for most of my users to navigate using.
I know how to filter extensions using OpenFileDialog, but is there a flag or variable I can set that will allow me to only show directories and select those directories that is built into .NET? And if not, what is a good third party dialog to use/where should I begin if I am to create my own?

I am currently using the Directory.GetFiles("Path of folder", "Specific Data") to search a folder for specific files and then do something with those files - this works perfectly. However i would like to search all sub folders within the top level folder also.I have seen ways to return what directories exist within the top level - which i could then use to search but was wondering if there is an easier way.

I want to be able to add a folder (and inturn, all of it's contents including subfolders) to a setup project. I can manually add a folder, then manually add all of the files for that folder; but this is a NetHelp folder with lots of subfolders and files.
Is there a way to tell the setup to add everything in a folder to the setup files to be distributed??

I have a db, and one of the columns in my db is an attachment column. It stores the link to a pdf document. I want the user to be able to browse through folders and select the proper pdf file. And when the user finally hits the submit button on the form my algorithm should put the necessary link into my db. I'm just not sure how to do this with regard to VB searching and finding the file, and then using my SQL statement to insert the attachment into my db.
Here is my code so far.
Private Sub SearchFile_Button_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles SearchFile_Button.Click
Dim saveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog()
