Programer help

[KING_OF_SAND]

As the title says I need help developing a program. It is a Map Manager for a specific game (TOP SECRET for now). I am developing this program in C# and I can not for the life of me figure out how to get the 'CheckedListBox' to display what I have in a folder. The folder will contain .zip or .exe files, I have not decided yet. But I want the box to display those files.

How do I do this?

 

[Youngie1337]

System.IO.DirectoryInfo DAN = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("PATH HERE (example c:\)");

System.IO.FileSystemInfo[] files = DAN.GetFileSystemInfos();

CheckedListBox1.Items.AddRange(files);

Replace the DAN with something more relevant.

Hope this helps.

Rough code as I do not have C# installed...

Work on this code if need be.

using System.IO;

Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\DIRHERE\");

you can always expand it by using , "*.bmp"); at the end so you can filter out filetypes

So.

string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\DIRHERE\", "*.bmp");

Remember to include

using System;

using System.IO;

Thank you. I will give this a try.

Clearer code:

 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

//contents of directory stored in "strPath"

DirectoryInfo dirinfoz = new DirectoryInfo(strPath);

//create array that holds requested files from folder stored in "dirinfoz" variable

FileInfo[] rgFiles = dirinfoz.GetFiles("*.*");

//move through FileInfo array and store in new array of fileinfoz

foreach (FileInfo fileinfoz in rgFiles)

{

checkedListBox1.Items.Add(fileinfoz.Name); //list files in CLB

}

}

}

I noticed you had the code under "button_1" shouldn't this be under chcheckedListBox1?

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

NVM!

button1 was an example mate, you just need the code below that. You could use it for example on form load, on button press or using a timer, it's up to you.

This may come across as a stupid question as their has got to be an easy way to do this. How can a move a .cs file to another folder?

in a project???

just drag and drop it

if it from another external project.... just "add existing file" and change the namespace

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

It's from another project, Yea i just figured it out like a minute before you got back to me lol.

 

[Youngie1337]

Move the file into the required folder, then add the file then alter the NS.

edit... nvm I didn't see last 2 posts
