Ignore errors when scanning for files in C:\
- by Shane
I am trying to search the C:\ drive for all files with a certain extension. I am using the following code which is working fine, however when it encounters an error the whole process stops rather than continuing with the scan. (running in backgroundworker, hence the invoke)
Private Sub ScanFiles(ByVal rootFolder As String, ByVal fileExtension As String)
'Determine if the current folder contains any sub folders
Dim subFolders() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(rootFolder)
For Each subFolder As String In subFolders
ScanFiles(subFolder, fileExtension)
Next
For Each file As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(rootFolder, fileExtension)
lb.BeginInvoke(New AddValue(AddressOf AddItems), file)
Next
End Sub
How can I make this code continue once an error is encountered? Thanks for your help.
