Hi,

How to get a path in a selected folder from folderbrowserdialog?
Example:
1) User select D:\Content\Data
2) Inside folder "Data" there's contain some files and folder
3) I check all the files contains in the directory and want to copy it to new destination. But failed
4) How to get the file path from the selected folder?

eg:
"D:\Content\Data\ABC.ai" and get "ABC.ai" only
"D:\Content\Data\Cfg.ini" and get "Cfg.ini" only
"D:\Content\Data\Debug\App.exe" and get "Debug\App.exe" only
"D:\Content\Data\Debug\DB.mdb" and get "Debug\DB.mdb" only

VB

Assume Dim filename as String = 'Data from above'

Because the destination path is given as "\\user-pc\files".So I want to use

VB

Assume Dim strDestinationFolderPath as String = 'Path from above'

So the copied code will be as below

VB

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(fileName, strDestinationFolderPath & "\" filename & , True)

I just got the thing:

VB

Public Sub ProcessDirectory(ByVal targetDirectory As String)
        Dim f As New DirectoryInfo(targetDirectory)
        Dim dirs() As DirectoryInfo = f.GetDirectories()
        For Each d As DirectoryInfo In dirs
            Try
                My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(strDestinationFolderPath & "\" & d.Name)
                txtevents.Text &= "Folder " & d.Name & " created" & Environment.NewLine
            Catch ex As Exception
                txtevents.Text &= ">> Error: Folder " & strDestinationFolderPath & "\" & d.Name & " failed to created" & Environment.NewLine
            End Try
        Next

        Dim fileEntries As String() = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory)
        Dim fileName As String
        For Each fileName In fileEntries
            Try
                Dim strNewFile As String = fileName.Replace(strSourceFolderPath & "\", "")
                My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(fileName, strDestinationFolderPath & strNewFile, True)
                txtevents.Text &= "File " & fileName & " copied" & Environment.NewLine
            Catch ex As Exception
                txtevents.Text &= ">> Error: File " & fileName & " failed to copied" & Environment.NewLine
            End Try
        Next fileName
        Dim subdirectoryEntries As String() = Directory.GetDirectories(targetDirectory)
        Dim subdirectory As String
        For Each subdirectory In subdirectoryEntries
            ProcessDirectory(subdirectory)
        Next subdirectory
End Sub
