Copy paste error

Hi,

I'm trying to copy a picture from one location and paste it into another location however VB throws out the following error

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A0046 (CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED)

both locations are on my local computer. So not sure what is causing the problem.

Here's the code



Module CPASU_SPC

Sub Main()
Console.Title = "MOARW Programs"
Console.WriteLine("Begin Application" & vbLf)
Console.Beep()
Console.ReadLine()
Dim objFSO
Dim CPASU_Journal, vSharePoint, fsoSource, fsoDest
objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
CPASU_Journal = "C:\XX\XXX\Documents\Team docs\JMP Analysis\HTML"
vSharePoint = "C:\XXX\XX\Documents\Team docs\JMP Analysis\Sample"

Console.WriteLine("Begin pic upload... " & vbLf)
fsoSource = CPASU_Journal & "\gfx\Image1.png"
fsoDest = vSharePoint
Console.Write(fsoSource)
Console.Write(fsoDest)


objFSO.CopyFile(fsoSource, fsoDest)
Kill(fsoSource)
End Sub

End Module

Why are you creating a FileSystemObject using late-binding when .NET has two different ways to copy files using only managed code? If you're using .NET then use .NET. Either use File.Copy or My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile.

To be honest I was looking at a sample code and tried to replicate it...Appreciate it if u can tell me when to use filesystmobject code and when to use managed code...Also the differenced...

thank u

Always use managed code, i.e. .NET, if you can. Only use unmanaged code if there is no managed option.

Ok here's an update.

The destination is actually a sharepoint site. However it was not working with the FileStreamObject that I used earlier. At the same time this below code din't work either.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile( _
CPASU_Journal & "\gfx\Image1.png", _
"http://moss.dell.com/sites/mscontacts/CPASU/default.aspx\Image1.png", _

as it says links cannot be used in the syntax. Can anyone please tell me what function should I use for saving the file/image to a sharepoint site.

Thanks,
A

Here;s the code that I'm trying to use.

vb Code:

Module CPASU_SPC
 
    Sub Main()
        Console.Title = "MOARW Programs"
        Console.WriteLine("Begin Application" & vbLf)   'Writes text to console in a new line
        Console.Beep()
        Console.ReadLine()
        Dim objFSO
        Dim CPASU_Journal, vSharePoint, fsoSource, fsoDest
        objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
        CPASU_Journal = "C:\Users\**\Documents\Team docs\JMP Analysis\HTML"
        vSharePoint = "http://moss.****/sites/***/***/Shared Documents"
 
 
        fsoSource = CPASU_Journal & "\gfx\image1.png"
        fsoDest = vSharePoint & "/image1.png"
        objFSO.CopyFile(fsoSource, fsoDest)
        Kill(fsoSource)
    End Sub
 
End Module

However I get the following exception when I run this program.

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A0034 (CTL_E_BADFILENAMEORNUMBER)


Please help.

"to a sharepoint site." --- ahhh.... that's the key right there...

You're getting errors because you can't copy to an HTTP address... it simply doesn't work that way... if it did, people could upload all kinds of crap to websites everywhere.

See if this is any help:

Something I jsut remembered... SP libraries are just shared folders that are formatted by the SP server... if you can get to the library, you should be able to View As Folder, from which you can get the //server/share/folder/subfolder/uh_huh_right_here path... which you can then use with your System.Io.File.Copy

-tg

I tried using the folder location than as the server address but the System.Io.File.Copy won't allow http locations as its parameters. I tried taking out the http but it doesn't do any pasting work.
