I tried:...

I'm trying to write a static member function in C# or find one in the .NET Framework that will re-case a file path to what the filesystem specifies. Example: string filepath = @"C:\temp.txt"; filepath = FileUtility.RecaseFilepath(filepath); // filepath = C:\Temp.TXT // Where the real fully qualified filepath in the NTFS volume is C:\T...
My problem is :: From a string like "/usr/folder1/folder2/filename.ext" I have to extract out file name only for display (filename.ext only). My question would be how should I do it? Splitting on "/" and taking the last element is one way but doesn't smell nice to me. I have to create a hyperlink which uses URI of the file as the de...

Is it possible to prevent a user from typing in a file input text box in IE? The reason I ask is that if a user enters text that does not look like a file system path (eg. doesn't start with something like c:...) then when the user clicks the submit button nothing will happen. I would either like to not allow the user to type in the bo...

The .mdb files are opened and edited in the VB.NET app. Once editing is completed, the users will need to import the data into our SQL Server database.

I have files on my file system, on Windows XP. I want to parse them using Java (JRE 1.6). Problem is, I don't understand how Java and Xerces work together when the file path has spaces in it. If the file has no spaces in its path, all works fine. If there are spaces, I may have this kind of trouble, even if I call the parser with a Fi...
