DirectoryInfo and FileInfo

Hi.

I have a strange problem around DirectoryInfo and FileInfo of C# (c-
sharp). I have a File Watcher which automattically imports files from
a network drive to a directory on the local machine. Here is the code
I used:

DirectoryInfo dir = new
DirectoryInfo(S APImportPath);
FileInfo[] fileList = dir.GetFiles("* .txt");

foreach (FileInfo f in fileList)
{
f.CopyTo(Import Path +@"\"+f.Name) ;
f.Delete();
FormImport frmImport = new FormImport(conn ection, ImportPath
+@"\"+f.Name) ;
}

All works fine, until I come to a certain problem. When the directory
I import to comes to 3,909 files, the program refuses to do anything
further, until I remove those files, then it continues further. If
anyone know about this strange behaviour, I would like to know the
solution, plese.

Thank you in advance.

Hi, I want to get a list of files matching certain extensions, such as "*.jpg;*.gif" (i.e. all files ending with .jpg and .gif). I was using DirectoryInfo.GetFiles(string) method. Unfortunately it appears that I cannot have something like: dirInfo.GetFiles("*.jpg;*.gif"); // where dirInfo is of type DirectoryInfo

I am recursing through ALL folders and sub-folders below a certain level to list all the files of a certain type in those folders. I use two ArrayLists, alFiles and alFolders, to track matching files and my progress in the recursion. I use a while loop to manage the folder-subfolder drill-down. Each pass through the while loop creates a new DirectoryInfo object named currentFolder. Is there are problem with that? Does this create...

I have an aspx page that is set up to copy backed-up DB files from a shared directory to a local folder. For some reason, it is being denied access to the network share.

Even when I grant full control to everyone on the share and the underlying folder itself, I still can't access...

I have code that retrieves all of the file names within a directory. After retriving them, I display the information in a datagrid. What I would like to do is add an extra output column on the directory info that would contain the file name without the extension. Can I add an attribute or an entry to accomplish this? If so, how, if not, is there anything I can do to do this. Here is my code that i am using; Dim dirInfo as New...

Hello everyone. I'm working on a simple utility that lists all files in a given directory with a given extension and outputs the results to a text file. I'm encountering issues while testing where the DirectoryInfo.GetFiles returns nothing. When I put a break in and check it out further, it looks like I'm getting ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED when the GetFiles hits certain directories (for example, a System Volume Information directory). If this were...

I am having the following problem: I create a FileSystemWatcher and wait for events. When the event does happen I refresh a FileSystemInfo list and set properties accordingly (IsFile, IsDir, ReadOnly, etc.). The problem I'm having is in identifying when a FileSystemInfo entry is a FileInfo or a DirectoryInfo type. I get the rare, and yet oddly common, "setup.inf" file that for some inexplicable reason passes the standard...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
