Here's the simple custom File class. If you'd like to copy any of the code, simply double-click in the code to select all of it, then use Ctrl/Cmd-C to copy.
Public Class FileI started with the great code from the Java2S Site, which searches a directory recursively. For this project, I considered using an ArrayList, because these data structures have great, built-in search functions. A closer examination and some research revealed a better solution: the .NET Dictionary class, which provides great performance for searches.
Private myFilePath As String
Private myFileName As String
Private myTopLevelFolder As String
Private myCurrentFolder As String
Public Property FilePath As String
Get
Return Me.myFilePath
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.myFilePath = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property FileName As String
Get
Return Me.myFileName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.myFileName = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property TopLevelFolder As String
Get
Return Me.myTopLevelFolder
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.myTopLevelFolder = value
End Set
End Property
Public Property CurrentFolder As String
Get
Return Me.myCurrentFolder
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.myCurrentFolder = value
End Set
End Property
End Class
The Dictionary object stores name-value pairs and functions much like a hash table, but with one major difference: no overhead for boxing and unboxing, as is the case with hash tables. It required just a few changes to the code to use a Dictionary to store the values, and then to search on the filename and path (the same filename might be in multiple directories, so we need to use the path as well to uniquely identify the file).
Here's the main form's code:
