Im working on a program and I get this "Value of type '1-dimensional array of String' cannot be converted to 'String'."
heres the code that gets this error:
Label4.Text = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(Backup)
And heres the string
Dim Backup As String
Backup = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\.MineRbu"
The GetDirectories() method returns an array of strings. You're setting that to a string property (.Text).
Try this instead:
Dim dirs() As String = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(Backup)
Label4.Text = string.Join(vbCrLf, dirs)
This will extract all the directories into an array, then put each item onto your label (separated by a new line).
The System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(Backup) returns an array of strings.
You probably need to change it to this:
'This will insert each value returned from GetDirectories'
For Each Dir as String in System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(Backup)
Label4.text &= Dir & VbCrLF
Next
'Alternatively, if you just need the first result:'
Label4.text = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(0)
