Re: How to get DirectoryInfo to use ShortPathNames?

15-Dec-06 7:43

Nope. Like I said, the first thing the DirectoryInfo object does is normalize the path to its full length, so you can't use it for what you're doing.

You can try to use the the static methods (Directory class, not DirectoryInfo) and try to use the return path from GetShortPathName as the directory to search. But, I'm seeing code in there that looks like it might also normalize the path too, though it might not.

You'll have to ask this in the ASP.NET or Web Development Forums. THis will require client-side JavaScript. You can't do it using VB.NET on the server-side.

Somewhere in your code you used AddHandler to wire up the Click events of the button. Before you reload the data into the grid, use RemoveHandler to unwire those buttons before you destroy them.

I have an array of objects. Each object refers to an mp3 file as follows:

mp3file.Title
mp3file.Artst
mp3file.Album
mp3file.TrackNumber

My question is, how can I sort the array by a specific item of the object, eg. Sorted by Artist, sorted by Album etc.

Make a custom comparer for your class, and use that in a call to Array.Sort.

Thanks for the quick reply.

You say, 'Make a custom comparer for the class'. I'm fairly new to VB.net and don't quite understand what you mean. Please could you explain a little more.

Thanks again

Something like this. Say you want to sort by Artist name.
Make a function:

Function CompareArtist(ByVal Artist1 As String, ByVal Artist2 As String) As Boolean
IF (Artist1>Artist2) Then
Return True
Else
Return False
End IF
End Function

Then when you do your sort, have something like this:

If CompareArtist(mp3file(1).Artist,mp3file(2).Artist) Then
//Do you sorting here depending on the result of the compareartist function.
End If

You could make a seperate comparison function for each member of the object, or just 1 or 2 depending on the type's of the object's members (if they are all strings for example). I hope that makes some sense.
