Hi, Joe--
Thanks.
I am actually using the CellTag now, for another part of the code.
What I'm doing is comparing two folders and checking each for discrepancies
(files which exist in one folder but not in the other). The method has been
to add everything to two dictionaries, then add all files found in each
folder to a listbox. I then compare the two dictionaries for the entire list
of each folder, and see if each dictionary contains the same files. If one
doesn't, I call that up and add it to the listbox for the folder missing the
file, and mark it as missing.
The problem is that the paths to the files in the dictionaries, as you
suggested, are completely wrong. I'm getting the correct missing filenames
allright, and that is found by the index but when using the code below, the
Path comes out wrong.
I'm not sure I understand why this happening. The relevant code is:
If not TargetDictionary.HasKey(SourceDictionary.Key(j)) then
TargetList.AddRow SourceDictionary.Key(j)
f=SourceDictionary.Value(SourceDictionary.Key(j))
where SourceDictionary.Key(j) is the name of the file, and f is the
folderitem which I earlier assign to that key's value. In that case,
shouldn't
TargetList.Cell(TargetList.LastIndex,1)=f.absolutepath
give me the absolutepath of the folderitem for that key?
All My Best,
Jeffrey
