Simple File Manager Using Visual C# . NET

[@bentko]

Thank you. It is a very explainable tutorial for C# file system.

[@mikusz3]

Oh boy, I just can't wait to "remake" the Volkov/Norton Commander on Visual Studio. That'd be awesome.

[@SnatchDreams]

That's cool 😎

[@JohnnySix]

This was very cool, really like the explanation of the image-list for the icons. It'd be cool if windows forms had a control out-the-box though. :)

[@SnatchDreams]

happy that you liked it :)

[@Hai-v1w]

How did you get that icon pack?

[@SnatchDreams]

I used free resources from flaticon.com

[@annaovchinnikova3303]

How to create delete, rename, remove buttons for files and folders in this example? and a box where i can search files or folders using name or extension?

[@johanvancoppenhagen2795]

Very informative. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. How easy would it be to add a search function to this?

[@SnatchDreams]

To find files? Yes it's kinda easy to implement

[@jackofalltrades1249]

Hi Is this also possible in c# WPF? do you have any tutorial for WPF? Thank you!

Hello , where to get those icons 20:43

[@SnatchDreams]

most of them are from flaticon.com

[@DogeCharger]

Very useful tutorial! I'm working on an AES File Safe program using C# and was wondering how I could display a directory and show the files within. Thanks!

[@shreyashmutyalwar]

Damn, i was thinking of that too

[@SnatchDreams]

Glad it was helpful!😍

[@ankushj4129]

I have done this exactly like it is in the video, but the pdf files cannot be opened, plz suggest me

[@SnatchDreams]

Please let me know the error that you are getting while trying to open pdf files. Please share details via mail Or reply to this comment. I hope u have an pdf reader installed on ur windows.

[@lestermanguiat4463]

It is for external storage only?

[@swixx8910]

when he put D: you can change it to whatever your main drive is d is usally a usb or something like thay C is a ssd and E is a hdd

[@SnatchDreams]

You could put any drive.. I didn't use C: because it requires the app to ran an administrator

[@SnatchDreams]

D drive is my second partition related to work 😇 and u answered correctly for his question bro thank you 😍

[@xandro8309]

Why in the function goBack() you didn't use the path = Path.Combine(path,"@..\\")

[@lechampi2237]

I really liked your video on the file manager but I have a problem is that nothing is executed when I code maybe Because I have a hard drive E: instead of D: .

[@БезумныйПетя]

NotSupportedException. In this FileAttributes fileAttr = File.GetAttributes(filePath + "/" + currentlySelectedItemName); I don't know why Visual Studio get me this error System.NotSupportedException: "This path format is not supported."

[@wojtekgame]

Will you add a part 2 of the VB one to make more icons and making it openable in places

[@SnatchDreams]

I will try to do one bro 😊

[@wojtekgame]

@@SnatchDreams (it will be openable in notepad and edge)

[@SnatchDreams]

U mean when u double click the file? The process or application in which the file is to be open is completed decided by Windows not by us.. So if u double click a txt file it would open in notepad or ur default text editor .. Same with other extensions

[@wojtekgame]

@@SnatchDreams Yes and with a open in box if it's like a .txt file or .url files and they show icons than a paper icon

[@SnatchDreams]

Icons can be customized and even we show the icons that actually windows uses for those extension itself... For the tutorial simplicity I limited it to few custom icons

[@le_Bizarre]

Thanks. Is it possible to do the same with the newer .NET instead of of the .NET framework?

[@SnatchDreams]

Sorry bro Didn't understand ur question

[@le_Bizarre]

@@SnatchDreams At the beginning of the video you started a .NET framework project, but now we have .NET 6 framework, so can we use the same code?

[@SnatchDreams]

Yes bro you should be able to use the same code.. If find any functions got deprecated kindly let me know 😇 I will be happy to help u with

Hi ji could u send the same snippet over mail [e-mail]. and before that try adding a print statement to print the length of dirs and files array also add a print statement inside the catch block to see of any exception is happening. We discussion this over email.. Going through such a big snippet over comments is quite difficult 😇 thank you

Sir, can i view images using this approach?

[@SnatchDreams]

Yes bro we can.. U mean thumbnail preview right?

[@AmanKumar-bi4jl]

@@SnatchDreams yes, But thumbnail preview is not good for large amount of data, whan i load thousand plus large size image then it throw out of memory exception, also rotate potrait image in landscape . Are you have any solution for this?

[@SnatchDreams]

Instead of loading everything manually actually we can directly use the thumbnail used by windows instead of having a custom icons that we use.. I will try to share the code for that in one or two days please send a mail

[@diyhub2986]

This is Amazing! the tutorial is very clear! +1. Btw. is it possible to filter the files that you want to view? ex. only MP3 files will be listed in listview. Thank you so much!

[@kacchanmissions2628]

May I ask how to define the File Type? Because the one showing in the File Type is File extension. Nice videooo!

[@SnatchDreams]

Thank you bro 😍 .. Could u make ur question more clear so I could help u out if u are still stuck.. Sorry about late reply

[@ElektrischInkorrekt]

Have to do some research. With the parts I copied into my project it didn't work yet. (It didn't open the D:\ - Directory, instead it opened the Debug-Path)

[@ElektrischInkorrekt]

Nevermind. This seems to work as intended. If you don't enter the correct string, the function will try to generate a relative path starting from the project-root-Direktory (e.g. the Debug-Path). I was needing the backslash and needed a ten year old stackoverflow-question to solve it.

[@payback2crashes]

right click on your project, click on add and create an application.manifest file in your project and then go to RequestedExecutionLevel then, change the asInvoker to highestAvailable and that should be it. It will auto run as the highest permissions an app can have in windows.
