Tell If File In One Folder Is Same As File On Another Folder But Has Been Renamed?
Apr 15, 2011
I am writing a program to do backups and it will have syncing capabilities. It will be similar to Microsoft's SyncToy but it will have much more flexibility and "group" backup options etc.I am using VB.Net 2010 to write the program. The problem I need help with is the efficient comparing of a source file to the destination file when the only difference between a file is the name. (Working on the "Contribute" method of syncing a folder")In other words if I have a backup folder with a bunch of backed up files and folders from a master source folder and I change the name of one of the files in the master folder, but do nothing else to it, how can I tell that the renamed file is the same as the original named file in the destination folder. In this scenario I would want to rename the destination file to the new name it was given in the master folder instead of just copying the renamed file to the back up folder and ending up with duplicate files of different names needlessly.
Private Sub Button21_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button21.Click
If TextBox11.Text = "" Then Exit Sub MkDir(Dir1.Path + "" + TextBox11.Text) MsgBox("Folder Created:") TextBox11.Text = ""
End Subok now the file i have is from my.resources.test1 put this file into the folder that wascreated after mkdir line of code i have tried differnt ways of doing it but dose not work. it seams that this whould be so easy i dont if its me getting a mind block or something
the first problem is getting my program to load rss feeds from other websites mostly here:http:[url..... im trying to load it using the webbrowser. i want the rss feed to load right onto the form. im positive that its possible. i have the imports system.net in my code already for xml documents.the second is i cant get my program to write into a file that is several folder deeper into the bin folder.[code]......
ive tried playing with the code moving around the folder names, making sure there capitals are correct, etc. but nothing works. it creates the file in the wrong spot.
After I run the setup to install the program, I will use the program to capture image and answer a survey.Having said that, I have a folder contains image of image capture and database using Ms Access 2007 in my program . Is it possible to make it both in one zip folder (Embedded both together in one folder and locate it in desktop?
In the above form the user will first enter a folder name and click the create folder button,then the folder will be created in the applications bin folder.I did the code for this:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click If ComboBox1.Text = "" Then
What I'm trying to achieve is for a file to be copied from a templates folder to a project folder. The project folder path is constructed using the selected item in a combo box and a list box. [Code]
Ok so i have a program that pulls up all the video files in a video folder. I need a code that will move one of the files in the listbox to a recycle bin i made. But i dont want to replace any of the files in the recycle bin i just want a code to move one file out of one folder and into another. So if there is a code for this then great.
I am facing problem to upload the file to FTP server. As ftp server is : ftp://myFTPserver.com Current Default Folder: GO.$DataW1.SVMANNET
But I want to upload the file on Go.Data72.CLEVDATA Folder. how to change the path from teh default folder to teh folder where i want to upload the files.
Like from command Prompt we can use ftp> cd GO.$DATA72.CLEVDATA to change the current directory. how can we achieve the same in dot net.
Having difficulty with the module below failing on line 21. It is telling me: The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Basically what it is designed to do is look for a directory, if that exists then look for a file in that directory. If both = True then it should open the folder to browse the files. I believe the issue is with the "Program Files" being 2 words since the script runs using a root path, but I'm not sure how to format the path correctly to make it work?
I have some problem with copying the file from one Directory to another directory by create the folder if that folder is not exists in destination directory.
I am developing an application that Monitors a specific folder for file changes such as modify deletion, update, etc. The only problem I have is , the application doesn't fire up File events.
what im trying to do and what i have done so far is probably a little backwards not sure sure how to id it any other way.when the user generates an error because a particular file doenst exist ive got my dialoge box to generate an .txt file for each file it errors on, so that the administrator can check and update missing files as an when - shouldnt be many files missing in the first place, should just be new product ranges or item just launched.what im stuck on is:
1. is there a better way
2. how do i open a .txt file and add the extra lines to it, so i re use the file but keeping the previous data.
here i am reading files from one root folder and after reading that we are moving that particular file Success folder and taking a copy of that in to back up folder normal
while reading file i will check file naming convention by targeting backup folder if suppose it was exists in backup folder then i m moving the file to duplicate folder
my problem if suppose again same file came to process this file already existed in duplicate folder how do send the file in to duplicate folder, unfornately i dint have any property as file rename
If File.Exists(Swift_Backup + "" + Path.GetFileName(CBFile)) Then ' File.Move(CBFile, Swift_Duplicate + "\" + Path.GetFileName(CBFile)) 'DUPLICATE FOLDER'
I'm currently working on a script that uses an open file dialog to select a file and then send it to another folder.The open file dialog works fine, and I can store the filename/location fine in a variable. What I want to know is how to copy a user-defined file to a set directory. All of the stuff I've found requires you to know what the filename of the thing you're moving is.
Here's my code: System.IO.File.Move(Form6.OpenFileDialog1.FileName, "Temp") I'm trying to make it so that the program copies the file that you select in the OpenFileDialog and moves it into the "Temp" folder. It gives me an error saying: Cannot create file when file already exists.
I am working on a program using VB.Net 2010 which will enable me to setup groups of files & folders for back up with syncing capabilities etc. I have a concept program which is based on some sample code I found out in one of the VB.Net forums. I have modified it from a command line based program to a form based program. At the moment I consider this code to be a "concept" program which once I have the various copy/sync routines developed and debugged will be integrated in to another program I wrote for creating "Back Up" groups to automate the process. There are some 3rd party programs that do similar things that I want to do such as Microsofts Sync Toy, but none of them offer the grouping and exclusions options that I am going to program in to this backup/sync program.
So here is my problem, I have the included code taking two folders, a source and a destination, and copying everything from the source to the destination. It will skip over any unchanged files/folders and will delete anything found in the destination folder that is not found in the source folder and it will update all files in the destination folder that have a newer version in the source folder. In other words it will mirror image the source to the destination but will be smart enough not to copy unchanged items from the source to the destination thereby saving a lot of time. The sync part of the program is working fine, the displaying of the progress and results is not.
When I right click a file folder, I get an option called Explore on my pop-up menu. It lets me do this for zipped records also. I want to be able to do this programmatically in my Visual Basic program. How do I explore a file folder and expose its contents in a Listbox. How can I do this for a zipped file? If a folder is zipped and contains a list of files in it, can I go into the file and delete the file without having to unzip the folder. Today, I was able to cut files out of a zipped file and paste the individual files somewhere else. Can I do this programmatically?
The first problem i am having is locating a file in a folder, i am using FolderBrowserDialog to select the working folder but the program needs to be able to detect if it is a Windows XP SP3 source. The File i want to detect is WIN51IP.Sp3 and after hours of searching and trying different methods i am still no closer.below is the first part of the code, the browse folder part.
Imports System Imports System.IO Public Class Main
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(Label1.Text, "Test.mp3") 'First renaming System.IO.File.Copy(PATH OF TEST.MP3, Environment.SpecialFolder.System, True) 'But how I get the path of the renamed file (test.mp3)? End Sub Label1 = the file path that has to be renamed "test.mp3" = the same renamed file
I have an xml file that contains a file/folder structure.I'd like to load the xml file into a Listview (Details view) and being able to navigate through the folders by double-clicking on them.Basically the same as you can do with Windows Explorer, but not with actuall files on the hard drive, but solely with files/folders listed in an xml file. Or shown in the picture below from an FTP client. Double-clicking on "Images" will show the contents of that folder, double-clicking on <Parent directory> will show the contents of the parent directory.I don't need help with the icon/filetype, but I have no idea where to start with the 'xml folder navigation'.
I have a rather simple task, retrieving an image file from a virtual folder outside of my ASP.Net web Application (The Virtual Folder is in the root of the website) and then displaying it in an image control. I am able to to access a Virtual Folder that is within the web site. Here is my code that
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Dim sourcefile As String = Server.MapPath("~/Common/Images/LAPDPatch.jpg") Image1.ImageUrl = sourcefile End Sub
What am I doing wrong?
Ok, I was able to figure it out: Ok, I was able to get it working, I was using the wrong "slash" character I was using the forward slash instead of the back slash:
Dim sourcefile As String = Server.MapPath("VitualFolderName") & "ImagesLAPDPatch.jpg"

I'm making a program that starts opens different folders on the user's PC. However, I want to be able to have a program in that folder selected. So, whenever the user opens up the folder after clicking a button on my form, I want one file in that folder to be pre-selected.
