Visual Basic Help Please - Deleting A Selected File
6 Answers
Hello hope everyone is well.
I've created a form with buttons and text boxes, with the buttons browsing, saving or opening a file, for example after a file has been opened, the browse button will open the contents and display it in the text box.
However, how would i go about deleting the selected file from my area? I mean can someone give me or start me off on the code please as i've been searching for ages.
Many thanks

Help, Index, under File.Delete method gives this example
Imports System
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Text
Public Class Test
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim path As String = "c:\temp\MyTest.txt"
Try
Dim sw As StreamWriter = File.CreateText(path)
sw.Close()
Dim path2 As String = path + "temp"
' Ensure that the target does not exist.
File.Delete(path2)
' Copy the file.
File.Copy(path, path2)
Console.WriteLine("{0} was copied to {1}.", path, path2)
' Delete the newly created file.
File.Delete(path2)
Console.WriteLine("{0} was successfully deleted.", path2)
Catch e As Exception
Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString())
End Try
End Sub
End Class
