    Delete File Net
AI Thread Summary
When attempting to delete files and folders using Visual Basic 2008, users may encounter errors indicating that the file cannot be accessed. This issue often stems from insufficient access rights, which can lead to an UnauthorizedAccessException when attempting to delete a file. Additionally, if the file has its read-only attribute set, it may also prevent deletion. To resolve these issues, users should check the file's permissions and attributes to ensure they have the necessary rights to perform deletions.

Even if I use correct method or code for deleting files and folders, when debugging I get error saying that it cannot access file and hence cannot delete it. What setting of computer I should inprove to enable the delete feature through visual basic 2008

It also might be that the file you want to delete has its read-only attribute set.

The .csv importer node allows you to bring in a .csv file and use the data in it to control aspects of your model. So for example, if you...

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
