I'm trying to copy and rename a file

Here is what I've tried to do so far(and it's obviously does'nt work):

VB

.
.
.
Else
        Dim diMyDir As New DirectoryInfo(My.Settings.ImgOutput + "/" + IDnumU.Text)
        diMyDir.Create()
        diMyDir.Attributes = FileAttributes.Hidden
        For c As Integer = 0 To lstFiles.Items().Count
            System.IO.File.Copy(lstFiles.Items(c).ToString(), diMyDir.FullName.ToString() & "/" & c.ToString())

        Next
    End If

End Sub

I must copy the file, AND THEN rename it, because this program is handling the Phone's file.

It found the file path that I want but it does'nt copy it, it displays a Runtime error name:

NotSupportedException was unhandled

Thank you in advance, Tsahi.

Solution 1

VB

Dim dir as new DirectoryInfo(myfoldername);
Dim files as FileInfo() = dir.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)

At this point, you can iterate through the files found in the specified folder.

VB

foreach file as string in files
    ' do something with "file"

What are the values stored in lstFiles.Items(c).ToString() and c.ToString()

File's Path's, and lots of them they are all in jpg, jpeg or bmp Format

Solution 4

Tsahi,

According to MSDN documentation[^] for the System.IO.File.Copy method, when you get a NotSupportedException exception, it means "sourceFileName or destFileName is in an invalid format. "

Have you done debugging to ensure that you have valid file names listed? If possible, can you edit your question with the Visual Studio output of the error message after you have ensured that the file names are indeed valid.

Your problem is that lstFiles.Items(c) is of the type ListViewItem. Thus you'll have to use the property Text to retrieve the path. ToString() will return something that will contain the type information including the actual path information and thus will not be suitable for your purposes.

I hope this helps you clear the issue!

[Edit]
This small code sample may be in C#, but it works like charm in copying all the files from D:\Test\Test into the subdirectory D:\Test\Test\Test where they are stored as 0, 1, 2, etc. :

C#

static void Main(String[] args)
{
    string[] entries = Directory.GetFiles(@"d:\Test\Test\");
    for(int c = 0; c < entries.Length; c++)
    {
        System.IO.File.Copy(entries[c], String.Format(@"D:\Test\Test\Test\{0}",  c.ToString()));
    }
    Console.ReadLine();
}

Maybe a piece of working code will show you where you went wrong!
