View 6 RepliesWhen I use the code Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:")it works fine, but when i use a string variable named "infos" i.e.Dim di As New IO. DirectoryInfo(infos)which takes an input from user, it gives me an ArguementException "Illegal Characters in Path".I tried replacing the variable, checked its value in the msgbox which is fine, but the double quote is added directly when it executes the IO.DirectoryInfo line and throws an exception. (Check the attachment)I have also tried infos.Replace("""",String.Empty) to remove the possible double quote, but it still holds that double quote.And when I use the same variable "infos" with substring to get the Drive, it works fine
View 27 RepliesI'm making a timer program, that I want to be able to store "unlimited" timer profiles, that someone can load and use. Now I've created a form that you fill with data, which then gets saved to a .xml file in a pre-defined directory. I'm now working on some sort of code that will:
1. Search the directory for .xml files
2. Find any .xml files and convert names to strings
3. Store the strings in a dropdown menu, so that when one is chosen, it loads that profile.
I think I have 1 down:
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("C:Simple Timer")
Dim di As DirectoryInfo
di = New DirectoryInfo("C:Simple Timer")
di.GetFiles("*.xml")
First I want to tell u all I am an absolute beginner at using VB.NET and other programming languages and am going to start learning VB.NET.What I am trying to accomplisch I couldn't find trough Google I am trying to make a Windows GUI based tool in VB.NET (2010) which deletes files by fileage with some other settings.I have a Form1 with:
TextBox1 - Where I have the output of a slectfolder button
TextBox2 - Where I want to input the File Extention (comma seperated)
DateTimePicker1 - Where the date can be set to delete files before that date
Checkbox3-5 - FileAttributes (Hidden, System and Read-Only)
CheckBox1 - Run in SafeMode (No delete takes place)
This is the delete script I made
For Each file As IO.FileInfo In New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:YourDirectory").GetFiles("*.txt")
If (Now - file.CreationTime).Days > 160 Then file.Delete()
Next

If I want to bind the files of a folder to a gridview, I can just do this:
GridView1.DataSource = New DirectoryInfo("C:MyPix").GetFiles
GridView1.DataBind()
...And this asp.net
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server">
[Code]...
...But if I want to bind it to a repeater in stead, I would think I could display the filename like this:
<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate><%#Container.DataItem("Name")%></ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
...But that gets me the error "No default member found for type 'FileInfo'."
Problem is that i cant convert to string
Dim path As String = "......Tier1 downloadsCourseVB"
If countNumberOfFolders > 0 Then 'if there is a folder then
' make a reference to a directory
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(path)
Dim diar1 As IO.DirectoryInfo() = di.GetDirectories()
[Code].....
How can you convert DirectoryInfo such as a GetDirectories into a string. I can run the following just fine.
For Each m In Movies
lbMovies.Items.Add(m)
Next
But I really want to store something like m.GetDirectories.ToString into a structure I've built.
How do I (i) sort the array of type FileInfo returned by the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles method by (file) CreationTime in descending order and (ii) once the array is sorted efficiently load it or convert into a Queue object (of type FileInfo) for subsequent processing. I thought of using the queue object as it handles things on a FIFO out basis and I'll be adding to the queue as new files arrive.
View 4 RepliesI am populating a datagrid control using files in a specified path (DirectoryInfo).I would like to filter the files based on a user specified date range (start date & end date). While search S/O, I found this post, but I am getting an error on DateComparer ("'DateComparer' is a type and cannot be used as an expression.")
Here is my code:
Dim dirInfo As New DirectoryInfo(strDirectoryPath)
Dim dStartDate As DateTime = "03/01/2011"
Dim dEndDate As DateTime = "6/30/2011"

how can I sort (not filter) directoryinfo files by date (oldest to recent) ? I am using asp.net and visual studio 2008
View 2 RepliesI need to count the number of files in a specific folder. The folder I need is in the directory path of ApplicationData. The only method I could think of to grab the path, is to combine it via a string, like this: vb.net

I have a project where I am looping thru specific files in a directory using a For Each FileInfo in DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() statement. My question is if I overwrite the current FileInfo object, will it still retain the reference to the object even though the file is no longer the same?
Code Snippet:
For Each fi In folder.GetFiles("*.idx")
Dim reader As IO.StreamReader = fi.OpenText()
index = reader.ReadLine()
values = index.Split(",")

I am new to programming. I wrote this simple code but it seemed not working at run time. I mean not selecting particular file extensions when I am selecting the particular radio buttons. By default each radio button is set to false on Checked property. Also there is no syntax error.

Assuming I have a folder structure like:

This works fine, unless I have Windows Explorer open and I'm looking at the 'MySubFolder' directory. Then I get an IOException The directory is not empty. - clicking OK dismisses this and then the folder structure is not deleted. Any thoughts on how I can get this to perform correctly (i.e. delete), even when running this code while having the folder struture open in Windows Explorer?
