FileType 1

[guitardave78]

In vb6 i used to use the FSO which had a FileType property.
What is the equivilent way of doing it in .net using the preferred getfiles stuff?

Thank

You can use the SearchPattern parameter of GetFiles()

That just lets me search for extensions. I want to look at the actual file type.

Doesn't really matter. You can open a text file in binary mode. Do you mean known file types? VB6 didn't do that either.

This is what I mean

set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
set fldr = fso.getfolder("c:\deploy")
for each file in fldr.files
	msgbox(file.type)
next

This will work in .net may not be .nettish way.

    Sub findFiles()
        Dim fso
        Dim fldr
        Dim file
        fso = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
        fldr = fso.getfolder("c:\Zameer")
        For Each file In fldr.files
            MsgBox(file.type)
        Next file
    End Sub
