I'm not writing the code for you
Awww c’mon now. I'm sure you don’t mind writing hours and hours worth of code for somebody who you don’t even know.
Seriously, I’m going to give it a shot. I appreciate what you have told me so far. It gives me a good place to start.

Why not use a tree view? It's much easier.

I have directory names listed in a Rich Text Box. An indented line means that-that particular name will be a sub-directory of the line (directory name) above it.
Here is some blatant self-promotion, but anyway here goes:
I have some code that does something similar in a recent article I wrote for code project, it is not creating directories but populating a tree view (which is a similar heirarchical structure to directories). Take a look at the Word and Category classes to get an idea of how you may implement your solution - it works on a plain text file rather than RTF, and in place of indents I've used $ symbols.

The .NET Compact Framework is a subset of the full .NET framework so the code there will work on a desktop application also.
I hope this helps.

I need to actually create the directory structure on the hard drive so that I can place items within the directories.

Okay, I thought you needed help with figuring out how to take the tree structure from your file and interpret that within .NET.
What you need is the System.IO.DirectoryInfo class.
The following has an example on how to instantiate the DirectoryInfo object, check if the directory exists and if not then create the directory.
MSDN: DirectoryInfo.Create()[^]
Does this help?

Thanks Colin. Dave also suggested the System.IO earlier. I was using FSO but System.IO seems to be a bit better.
Thanks for the link! I sometimes forget about all the good resources at MSDN.

A wee tip for searching MSDN. Use Google! In the Google search box type:
site:msdn.microsoft.com Insert your search string here
I find Microsoft's own search engine is slow and pulls up lots of rubbish I don't want. I've always found the thing I'm looking for in the first few entries of a Google search.

Hi All!
Can anybody tell me if VB.NET applications can be compiled to use with Linux?
If so, how and are there any negative aspects?
Thanks

Thanks. Mono sounds interesting...something to learn about this weekend, if it rains again.
I was kind of hoping that there was a way to do this from within VB.NET.
I’m currently trying to write a program in C++ (so I can compile Linux) and I’m using QT Designer to help with the GUI’s. Problem is that I know very little about C++. I know a bit more about VB.NET so I wanted to try and stay within my comfort zone.

The problem your facing is that there is no offical .NET Framework for Unix/Linux. Mono is that project. Once you have a working Framework, you can use VB.NET on it.

While I have no personal interest in coding for linux, it is certainly picking up steam. I have heard of mono being widely talked about at MS developer conferences. Almost as if it is gaining corporate acceptance. Only time will tell.

Oh, I see...
So, will I be able to use Mono to open an existing VB.NET project and then compile it for Linux?

Don't know. Never tried it. You'll have to depend ENTIRELY on the developers of Mono for support and what the procedures and pitfalls are.

Mono is a framework, like .NET is a framework. There is a VB.NET compiler for mono, but it is not as advanced as the C# compiler. However, it is under active development.
Mono is not 100% compatible with .NET, especially when it comes to WinForms. My impression is that you will never be able to take a Windows Winform app and have it compile directly under Mono. You can compile a GTK Forms app (approx Mono equivalent to WinForms) in Mono, and have it run on Windows, using Mono.
Part of the WinForms problem is that in Linux, forms have some significant differences to forms in Windows, most notably that they do not use absolute positioning. There are other factors as well, some of them legal (licensing and patent issues etc).
Mono 1.0 beta 2 is out at the moment, and it does not have official support for windows forms. They have concentrated on other aspects of the framework for this version. ASP.NET works, as do other console, or non-visual DLLs. The Mono framework also has additions that .NET does not have, such as native support for several more databases.

It's very rude to post the same question 4 times! Don't!
Try here[^] for a start on DataSet.Merge.
