Ok, So at my job we do a lot of formats, and to save time I thought I would make a simple c# console app that would copy the users data to a usb or portable hard drive to save us time.
When copying the contents in the pictures folder
string SourcePathPIC = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures);
There are no problems, however when trying to copy the music folders contents, It tells me that it Can't find path, but when trying the same program on Windows 10, it works.
There is the music part of the Cs file.
//MUSIC
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Downloading Music...");
string SourcePathMUSIC = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyMusic);
string DestinationPathMUSIC = DRIVELOCATION + @"\DOWNLOADEDDATA\music";
foreach (string dirPath in Directory.GetDirectories(SourcePathMUSIC, "*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(dirPath.Replace(SourcePathMUSIC, DestinationPathMUSIC));
}
foreach (string newPath in Directory.GetFiles(SourcePathMUSIC, "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories))
{
File.Copy(newPath, newPath.Replace(SourcePathMUSIC, DestinationPathMUSIC), true);
Console.WriteLine(newPath);
}
Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------------------------");
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
Console.WriteLine("Music Downloaded");
Console.ForegroundColor = CONSOLECOLOUR;
Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------------------------");
}
catch
{
string SourcePathMUSIC = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyMusic);
string DestinationPathMUSIC = DRIVELOCATION + @"\DOWNLOADEDDATA\music";
foreach (string dirPath in Directory.GetDirectories(SourcePathMUSIC, "*", System.IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(dirPath.Replace(SourcePathMUSIC, DestinationPathMUSIC));
}
foreach (string newPath in Directory.GetFiles(SourcePathMUSIC, "*.*", System.IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
{
File.Copy(newPath, newPath.Replace(SourcePathMUSIC, DestinationPathMUSIC), true);
Console.WriteLine(newPath);
}
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Black;
Console.WriteLine("Unable To Copy Some Files, User Has Proctection On Music, You Will Need To Manually Copy The Remaining");
}
Console.ForegroundColor = CONSOLECOLOUR;
Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------------------------");
Console.ForegroundColor = CONSOLECOLOUR;
Console.WriteLine(" DOWNLOAD COMPLETE....");
Console.WriteLine("------------------------------------------------------------------");
Console.ReadKey();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
var CONSOLECOLOR = Console.ForegroundColor;
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
Console.WriteLine("");
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.ForegroundColor = CONSOLECOLOR;
//System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
//Environment.Exit(1);
Console.ReadKey();
}
If you need to see the pictures section, let me know and I can update my question, I didn't add it because i didn't want to add too much code.
Thanks!
OK, I'm posting my answer just in case someone else comes across the same issue I had.
I ended up changing the framework from 3.5 to 4.6.1 compiling and then switching the framework back to 3.5 and hooray, it works!.....WEIRD! since i did't change any code.
