Help if you can(C# simple file stuff)

I FUCKING GOGLED IT SO DONT SAY "google it" Ok im wanting to know how to open and delete files in a c# wpf... i want to open the files as if you clicked on them and delete the files to recycle bin.can someone help?

Maybe google didn't understand what you were trying to do either, because I sure as hell don't. Maybe spend less time making big words and more time explaining what your trying to do.

EDIT: Are you saying you want to programmatically delete files?
BTW: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=delete+files+in+c+sharp

Google
have fun...

We share nothing more but basic syntax in common with C# coders, we should send them to their VB bretheren...

Im trying to open a file and delete some but all i know is:

Code:

Process.Start("lol.exe");

i dont know how to open the file its self and i dont know anything about deleting files.

Code:

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("openfile.bat");
tw.WriteLine("@echoff\nfile.txt");
tw.Close();
TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("deletefile.bat");
tw.WriteLine("@echoff\nECHO Y | DEL *.*");
tw.Close();

Process pOpenFile = new Process();
pOpenFile.Start("openfile.bat");
pOpenFile.Start("deletefile.bat");

Give that a shot.

It failed....just so you know im trying to get it in c# on a wpf app...like a button opens the file.

zhaoyun's code should work... but hey. what do i know about c# and c++...

im a vb noob. lol

I don't see how the button is important. If you know how to make buttons and know how to write code adding the two together shouldn't be a problem. The The System class should include any function you need to move files. Try searching MSDN. idk C#, but it looks remarkably just like Java. If you can find the function and can make the button urself then I can help on the structure of the code. Otherwise tough luck. can't be that hard. If all else fails try using command-line system(); like we sometimes do in C++.

Ok will do thx for the help.

Use your coding skills to create a search engine that is superiour to google than enter your question in there =) its brilliant!

God Forbid you try something obvious like oh I don' tknow.. File.Delete?

Open a process: (you will need to add the header "using System.Diagnostics;")

Code:

Process.Start("app.exe"); // will open the process with no arguments
Process.Start("app.exe", "arg0 arg1 arg2"); // will open the process with the args "arg0", "arg1" and "arg2"

Open a file: (you will need to add the header "using System.Diagnostics;")

Code:

Process.Start("wordfile.doc"); // will open the file with the associated process, in this case Microsoft Office Word

Delete a file: (you will need to add the header "using System.IO;")

Code:

File.Delete("filename.fileextension"); // will delete the file but will not send it to recycle bin
