Directories that exist - Visual Basic 2008

Question

Hello

How would I be able to make a variable that holds the value of the directories that exist in the C:\ Simple question to answer...

Thanks

Kevin

Answer 1

The DirectoryInfo class has member functions to do that - GetDirectories in this case.

Imports System.IO

Dim fTarget As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\")
Dim arrAnswer as DirectoryInfo()
arrAnswer = fTarget.GetDirectories()

Answer 2

The simplest option is to call GetDirectories on the static type Directory. This can be found in System.Io. It returns a string array of directories that it finds. You can also specify if it should drill down into subcategories when it is called
