Files and Folders - Introduction

Introduction

Files are one of the most important thing on any computer. Without them you could not store any data, or preferences. A computer would be useless without them. Folders are just important, allowing you to add structure to your hard disk. In VB, there are many functions which allow you to edit, create, rename and move files and folders, but the MSDN library does not do a very good of explaining them. This tutorial intends to cover the basics of these functions, and will hopefully do better!.

James first started writing tutorials on Visual Basic in 1999 whilst starting this website (then known as VB Web). Since then, the site has grown rapidly, and James has written numerous tutorials, articles and reviews on VB, PHP, ASP and C#. In October 2003, James formed the company Developer Fusion Ltd, which owns this website, and also offers various development services. In his spare time, he's a 3rd year undergraduate studying Computer Science in the UK. He's also a Visual Basic MVP.
