Hi everyone,
I am a rusty VB6 programmer trying to finally take a serious plunge into .NET. I apologize for this basic request in advance. Heres what Im trying to accomplish under VB.NET:
* Assume MyFileTest.ini can occur in multiple subfolders
Loop through a series of folders/subfolders looking for a specific file name: MyFileTest.txt for example.
Found file results might look like this:
C:\MyFileTest.txt
C:\A_Directory\MyFileTest.txt
C:\A_Directory\ABDirectory\MyFileTest.txt
C:\F_Directory\MyFileTest.txt
And have a variable (function?) return only the most recently modified file found (e.g., newest version of MyFileTest.txt from any location)
Bonus Request: Dump each file found result (MyFileTest.ini) into a List Box with column headings File Name, File Extension, File Path, Last Date Modified (historically I use 10Tec.com iGrid ActiveX grid control which is just awesome but want to start off more simply here).
Thank you for any general guidance or sample code sets - kind of getting excited about delving into .NET but have a lot to learn.
As an aside - any maybe should be for a different post... But if anyone has come across a particularly good help/support resource that kind of structures things like "In VB6 you used to do this, in VB.NET it's now done like this) please let me know.
Thank you!
