C# search directory paths

This is not the correct forum for this question; try the VB.NET forum, and please fix the formatting of your message.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I am working on setting up a C# 2010 application that will search directory file paths to see when there has been a files added
to the directory since the last time the directory was searched. I basically want to look for the following:
1. files that end with *.xls or *.xlsx.
2. I will look for files in the 'highest' level directory path and serach for new files that have been added since the last time the search was made.

Thus I am hoping you can tell me how to accomplish this goal and/or point me to referneces that will let me how to accomplish this goal.

..divide it into smaller pieces that can be conquered. Aint' that hard.

I foresee a Sqlite-database (or similar) that holds all those names and the date/time they were encountered. Ideally, it'd also provide a hash-value of it's contents.

Did you have a database-structure in mind for that? Smile | :)

Directory.GetFiles()[^] will help you find the list of names in the directory. From there you can check details such as date created etc.

How do you tell when a new file has been added to a selected directory path?

You can either keep a list of existing files and compare with that, or check the creation date to see whether it is newer than the last time you searched.

int a = 1;
int b = 2;
Console.Write("{0} + {1} might be equal to {2}", a, b, a + b);

I know homework is boring, but you won't learn much if I just give you the answer.

You're cheating when you should be workin'. You'd better do your homework next time and learn the syntax of Console.WriteLine, because those kind of questions are often ignored here. There ain't no free lunches out there.

Google for 'MSDN Console WriteLine', and bookmark the thing called documentation; it might be your bread and butter one day.

That is one of the most trivial applications you could write. The fact you could not manage it suggests that you need to buy this[^] book.

If we tell you how to solve your homework, it isn't helping you to learn how to code. If you want to do this professionally, you have to learn how to do this for yourself.

There is no need to data Adapter , see this :

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = 
    new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection("YOUR CONNECTION STRING ");

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand();
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
cmd.CommandText = "delete from Inquiry_management where Inquiry_ID='" +listBox1.SelectedIndex + "'";
cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1;

sqlConnection1.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
sqlConnection1.Close();

Inverse? You mean from right to left? Most of us can't read Arabic, might be handy to have an English example.

Could you try the setting the RightToLeft[^] property and see if it helps?

It is printing in reverse the OP's example, "Muhammed" is doing the equivalent of:

"mhmd" is displaying as "dmhd"

I've left the vowels out in the above, as these are written as diacritic marks over/under the main characters for [short] vowels and are customarily left out for most texts. The irony is, I can't speak any other European languages except some schoolboy French and German. Oh and some words in Norwegian, Danish and Dutch are the same as the dialect of English that I speak.

Have you set the RightToLeft property to true? IIRC you will get exactly the problems you describe (the letters being displayed in the reverse order) if you don't. If you can, set the property in the designer, not code.

I'm not sure about the print dialog, the RTL support in winforms is pretty poor.
