Reading the contents of a DVD and writing to a database.

[JC - home]

Hello all,

I've been tasked with the project of reading the content of data DVD's
and writing the file and directory information into a database. Writing
to the db is no problem, but for some reason I seem to be having major
problems getting a recursive directory search happening...

Basically I need to read from the root of the volume, and make an entry
to the db of: <filename> <filepath from root>
Anyone give me a pointer on this one?

Many Thanks,

JC

See my post "Re-Declare" from a short while ago. It contains the code for a
recursive loop.

Hi,

Take a look at the directoryinfo and fileinfo classes.
