Hi all. Now I am processing data in folders. I get a listing of folder
contents and have to test to determine whether item is folder or
file. I have this routine:

strPath is previously set with valid data, strType is previously defined.

Dim objDI As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(strPath)

For Each objFSI As System.IO.FileSystemInfo In
objDI.GetFileSystemInfos()

If objFSI.Attributes() And IO.FileAttributes.Directory Then
strType = "Folder"
Else
strType = "File"
End If

Next

My question is whether this is the best way to do this. I "explored" a bit
and
did not find any other obvious way. Any feedback is welcomed! Thanks, Saga

I'd do it your way - and switch Option Strict On.

This method will work fine and is as good as any.

If you only need a list of files you could just do something like this:

Dim di As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(strPath)
For Each fi As FileInfo In di.GetFiles("*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
'do some work
Next

Thanks for your reply...

I have to process all files and folders, so I need a listing of both types
of items. When it is a file I check its creation date to determine if I
need to delete it. If it is a folder, I call this routine recursively to
process
that folder. Regards, Saga

Thanks for the reply. Option strict ON? I have been lax with this. I
can only wonder what changes I'll have to do to the code, luckily I
just started o this project in Feb 2010, so if I am going to do this
it is best to do it now before I accumulate too many lines of code.
Thanks, Saga
