delete file

[ADO DOT NET]

Hi,

I want to check if there is any text file in the application path, then delete all of them.

So I use this code:

If System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath, "*.txt").Length > 0 Then
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath + "\*.txt")
End If

But I get error:

A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

you are trying to delete the path name with \*.txt attached to the end of it there, not the actuall files, also you need to delete them 1 by 1

it can be done easily like this...

       For Each f As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath, "*.txt")
           My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(f)
       Next
