Hello all,

Can any body helps me to find a code for getting files from subfolders or files inside that subfolder.

i know code to get files from folders and subfolders. But if many folders are there, my code fails i.e. folder/subfolder/subfolder/...

i am not sure how many subfolders are there inside a folder
i need the code for getting file from folder/subfolder/subfolder/subfolder..

i am using these code for getting files inside subfolder

For Each fld In path.SubFolders
For Each fil In fso.GetFolder(fld.path).Files
If Right(fil, 3) = "txt" Then
fileNameArray1(fileCounts) = fil
fileCounts = fileCounts+1
End If
Next
Next
please try give the code for getting files inside folder/subfolder/subfolder/subfolder/..

Thanks and regards
Jishith

You need a recursive function. This[^] KB article show how to do it in C#. Same can be ported to VB.NET.

The article mentioned in previous reply is perfect call for this situation.
But, Now .NET supports recursive search by using simple code snippet. Have a look in following code snippet :

 Dim myFiles() As String = Directory.GetFiles("C:\Temp", "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)

If myFiles.Length > 0 Then
       'Do process list of files retrieved          
End If

Does VB support partial classes? [modified]

I'm beginning to work on a piece of code generation. It's primarily for C#, but I thought I'd include support for VB because I'm a nice guy. Big Grin | :-D

Do I understand correctly that VB doesn't support partial classes?

Add: Thanks for the answers, guys.

3rd party software suggestions.

I am posting this questions here because I am a vb .net programmer that is writing a vb .net program that needs a third party software.

I was wondering if anyone here knew of any software that can do the following.

I have a PDF with and image of a shipping label. I want to read the hub number from it.

My proposed solution: Find 3rd party utility that i can call from my program to read the image and get me the hub number data. But, I have search many hours trying to find a software that has commandline plus use ocr to read image plus be able to red image from a pdf.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

There is a free OCR project called Tesseract that was done by UNLV in C, and was eventually ported to C++ and they now have a .NET version called Tessnet2. I believe it was also picked up by Google, or soemthing like that. Anyhow, I've not used it myself, but was looking into it a while back. Our project was cancelled, so I never got to play with it Frown | :(

Embedded resource problem

Hi,

I have created a custom resx file. And I am trying to add it to my project as embedded resource...

There are two identical files (except for the file name)
prolang.cz.resx
prolang.hr.resx

prolang.cz.resx is embedded OK (checked it with MSIL dissambler) but the other one just won't...

I have tried cleaning, restart IDE, restarting computer, deleting bin and obj folders...

no luck.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Try changing the name of the second one so it is not prolang.*.resx.. try prolandhr.resx, perhaps it doesn't like the double extension.

How to convert VB 6.0 application to support Greek Regional settings?

Our application has used date format function, decimal separator and thousand separator in many places and database is MS Access. So, we want to know if there is any straight conversion technique that would enable our application to support Greek regional settings.

Google for "VB6 localization" for some tools that will help you do this. Of course, you may have to re-write some of the code depending on how data was stored in your database and if you have any hard-coded formatting strings.

Thanks Dave Kreskowiak. we could get help from the your reply. But still we need to know the regional settings support for dateformat. Can you please suggest a tool which is best in the industry in terms of performance to convert the existing vb6 application to support international languages (Greek for instance).

Thanks,
Solomon.S

Are you saying you want this tool to modify the existing .EXE?? There isn't one. Well, not in that sense anyway.

You'll have to rewrite the code to support it, compile that into a new .EXE, then you can use any installer creation software to generate a patch using only the differences between the two .EXE's. You can then apply the patch to the old version of the installed app.

Honestly, I haven't touched VB6 in over 7 years, so I have no idea what tools are even still around for it.

Hi Dave Kreskowiak,
Thanks a lot for eagerness to help me. I google for help for unicode conversion and regional settings for VB6.

Thanks,

All string in VB6 is already Unicode. Google for "VB6 localization". If you use "Greek" in the search terms, you'll make the search way too specific and probably not get any results.

Please download mono from URL : mono-downloads[^]

And compile your vb.net project using mono vb compiler then you can port compiles executable onto Mac as well other Linux flavors.

For more info :

You cannot run the same .EXE file on a Mac and expect it to work.

There are two possibilities. You can run Windows inside a virtual machine on the Mac. You'll need virtual machine software and a licensed copy of Windows, then install the .NET Framework on it, and you'll then be able to run your app in the virtual machine.

The second method is what has already been proposed. Get Mono and compile your code using that framework. You'll, more than likely, have to rewrite parts of your app to get it to work completely, since Mono is NOT a 100% replacement for the .NET Framework.

the dmg file is for the mac OS, not for windows.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
