Network Programming in .NET

Just a simple PHP script to list directories two level deep:

$dir = dirname(__FILE__).’/’;

// Open a known directory, and proceed to read its contents
if (is_dir($dir))
{
if ($dh = opendir($dir))
{
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false)
{
if (filetype($dir . $file) == “dir” && $file !== “.” && $file !== “..” && $file !== “images”)
{
echo “<li>$file</li>”;
$dh2 = opendir($dir . $file);
echo “<ul>”;
while (($file2 = readdir($dh2)) !== false)
{
if ($file2 !== “.” && $file2 !== “..”)
{
echo “<li><a href=’$file/$file2′>$file2</a></li>”;
}
}
closedir($dh2);
echo “</ul>”;

}
}
closedir($dh);
}
}

I’ve used this to help index the 80 GB or so files I’ve now recovered from the GEOCITIES torrent

Which I’ve indexed from A to Z

If you want to list all the values of options in a HTML drop down list, from a webbrowser control in VB.NET or C#, here’s how to do it:

Dim hoeDest As HTMLOptionElement
For iDest = 0 To hseDestinations.options.length – 1
hoeDest = hseDestinations.options.item(iDest)
tbOutput.Text += hoeDest.value
Next iDest

Or in C#

for (var iDest = 0; iDest <= destinationSelect.Children.Count – 1; iDest++)
{
var hoeDest = (HTMLOptionElement)destinationSelect.Children[iDest].DomElement;
tbOutput.Text += hoeDep.value;
}
