I've created a copy utility in c# (.NET 2.0 Framework) that copies files, directories and recursive sub directories etc. The program has a GUI that shows the current file being copied, the current file number (sequence), the total number of files to be copied and the percentage completed for the copy operations. There is also a progress ...

I need to get the File version information from an exe file originally written in C++ from a C# program. Using Assembly.LoadFile(fullpath).GetName().Version results in a BadImageFormatException. Can anyone help? Cheers, Dan ...
I can't seem to change the read only flag on a file. I've tried this on Vista and XP with the same result, so I don't think it's a UAC related issue. Nothing I've done seems to work though. See the sample below. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? public bool UpdateResFile(string fileName, string language, string objectName, stri...

Well, the title says it all. When passing a file name to a method, should I use a FileInfo object or a plain file name (string)? Why would I prefer one to the other? Some of my colleagues like to write method like this: void Export(FileInfo fileInfo) Is it better than: void Export(string fileName) Thanks! ...
Hello, I am using the FileInfo class. However, the file info cannot find the file. The file is called log4Net.config and I have added it to my project. I have set the properties to build action = 'Content' and copy output = 'copy always' When I run the following code: FileInfo logfileInfo = new FileInfo("Log4Net.config"); if (!log...
We're creating a FileInfo object in C# using the following code: if (planConfig->OrganisationsFilePath != nullptr) { FileInfo^ file = gcnew FileInfo(planConfig->OrganisationsFilePath); //Do some stuff here } and our customers are reporting that they see an ArgumentException with “The path is not of a legal form” as the message b...

When eg. the destination directory is a directory on a removable drive (usb), I can not remove the ...
I get a string that more or less looks like this: "C:\\bláh\\bleh" I make a FileInfo with it, but when I check for its existence it returns false: var file = new FileInfo(path); file.Exists; If I manually rename the path to "C:\\blah\\bleh" at debug time and ensure that blah exists with a bleh inside it, then file.Exists starts...
I want to be able to show basically the same list that the Windows Screen Saver dialog shows, with the name of each screen saver. The problem I've run into however is that the names that show up in the drop down list on the dialog don't seem to correspond to the filename, embedded file information, anything in the registry, etc. For ex...

I used to do this by including a reference to <%= LastModified %> at the bottom of my WebForms master page which would return the last modified date of the current .aspx page. My code would even check the associated .aspx.cs file, compare the last mo...
Currently I have a bash script which runs the find command, like so: find /storage/disk-1/Media/Video/TV -name *.avi -mtime -7 This gets a list of TV shows that were added to my system in the last 7 days. I then go on to create some symbolic links so I can get to my newest TV shows. I'm looking to re-code this in Python, but I have a...

I am just learning C# (have been fiddling with it for about 2 days now) and I've decided that, for leaning purposes, I will rebuild an old app I made in VB6 for syncing files (generally across a network). When I wrote the code in VB 6, it worked approximately like this: Create a Scripting.FileSystemObject Create directory objects for ...
