What is the easiest way to delete a read-only file?

File.Delete doesn't work if it's read only ?

Nope, it throws UnauthorizedAceesException. It came as a surprise to me, too.

Remove the readonly attribute by using File.SetAttributes:
string file = @"C:\temp\somedir\somefile.txt";<br />
FileAttributes fileAtts = File.GetAttributes(file);<br />
File.SetAttributes(file, fileAtts & ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly);<br />
Directory.Delete(@"C:\temp\somedir",true);

Hi,
We have a situation where we need to 'move' a file from one location to another. We are using the moveTo method of fileInfo class for this. But the issue with this is that when we execute it, the file, after it has been moved to the destination folder retains the previleges of the source folder whereas it should have gotten the previleges of the destination folder. copyTo method of the same object does not have this problem.
One alternative is to use the copyTo method and then delete method but that becomes a little risky and we do not want to go that route.
Any ideas how we could acheve 'moving' a file in VB.NET without using the fileInfo.moveTo()?
we are using .Net 1.0
Responses will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering if there's a way to obtain user input without using a Form KeyDown event. I'm specifically looking for a method to get printable characters no matter which keyboard layout.
I'm developing an user interface for a graphical engine and I'm coding a textbox from scratch. I'm currently using GetKeyboardState, MapVirtualKeyEx and ToAsciiEx from user32, but sometimes I get odd repeated characters and I have no means to tell the repeated characters from the actual input.
Is there a managed way to get the same functionality?
Thanks in advance,
Rob

No, not without digging deep into the bios.

Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to hear since this is going to be problematic. I was pretty much sure I'd have eventually found a .net counterpart for the user32 methods I mentioned.
I'm curious to know how user interface developers in the .net era address to this issue. After all, text input is a basic feature.
Thanks again.

I have always thought the OS takes care of any internationalization.

But it does. The scanToAscii method returns modifier-aware input. If you press shift and then a, you get "A". It's indeed very handy.
My main problem is that it behaves oddily. So, to reiterate, I was wondering how this can be done in a managed way - I don't care if it eventually boils down to those user32 calls. I think WPF has an Input.Keyboard class somewhere, I was looking for something similar for previous .net versions.
Still, thanks for your reply. I will check the google groups for info as well.
Regards.

Hello,
Is there a way for me to use the cool LINQ syntax to query XML using VS2005? Or do I need VS2008 for that?
i.e.:
XElement xml = new XElement("contacts",<br />
from c in db.Contacts<br />
orderby c.ContactId<br />
select new XElement("contact",<br />
new XAttribute("contactId", c.ContactId),<br />
new XElement("firstName", c.FirstName),<br />
new XElement("lastName", c.LastName))<br />
);
Thanks!

There isn't a way to access this syntax in VS2005. You need VS2008 (such as the free Express edition) to do that.
|
|
|
|
|
To be exact: you need C#3, VB9 and the .net 3.5 framework. All that comes with VS2008.

I want to write code to download pages from BBS and then analyze the data. The first step is to retrieve the structure of the page. "webBrowser" has many methods and properties that sounds help.
The main loop should be sth like this:
foreach (HtmlElement elem in elemColl)
{
}
I can get the elements easily. But how can I get the structure among the elements? How to get the user submitted info from the advertisements, signatures, links......
Thanks.

You can't do this with pure .net.
You will have to go deep into the windows kernel (I guess you will have to write a kernel driver / rootkit to do this stuff).
Normaly this is not a good idea. Better use your admistrator to enforce some constrains on those files/folders and use the existing system.

What are some advantages of using Forms over MessageBoxes?
And, is a return statement required in a method that returns the type void?

Well, the obvious one is that you can design a form any way you like, a MessageBox is very limited.
cmh623 wrote: And, is a return statement required in a method that returns the type void?
This is the sort of question where it would make sense to try it and so. The answer is no. You'd only use it to terminate execution based on a condition such as if (i <0) return;

If you adopt the

So have I, and that may have colored my response, but all I meant was, you can use it in the middle, but if it's not used around a condition, then the middle will become the end, and using it at the end, is pointless.
Yes, I didn't confuse things by mentioning 'yield'  )
