List storage (folder)

The following example shows you how to get storage and list its content.

C# example

using System;
using Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            CompoundFile file = new CompoundFile("c:\\temp\\test.bin");

            //list root storage
            foreach (DirectoryEntry entry in file.Root.DirectoryEntries)
            {
                if (entry is Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Stream: " + entry.Name);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Storage(Folder): " + entry.Name);
                }
            }

            Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------------------");

            //get storage and list content
            Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Storage storage = (Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Storage)file.Root.DirectoryEntries["myfolder"];

            foreach (DirectoryEntry entry in storage.DirectoryEntries)
            {
                if (entry is Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Stream: " + entry.Name);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Storage(Folder): " + entry.Name);
                }
            }

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit!");
            Console.Read();
        }
    }
}

VB example

Imports System
Imports Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage

Namespace Sample
    Class Module1
        Shared Sub Main(ByVal args As String())

            Dim file As New CompoundFile("c:\temp\test.bin")

            'list root storage 
            For Each entry As DirectoryEntry In file.Root.DirectoryEntries
                If TypeOf entry Is Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream Then
                    Console.WriteLine("Stream: " + entry.Name)
                Else
                    Console.WriteLine("Storage(Folder): " + entry.Name)
                End If
            Next

            Console.WriteLine("-----------------------------------------------")

            'get storage and list content 
            Dim storage As Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Storage = DirectCast(file.Root.DirectoryEntries("myfolder"), Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Storage)

            For Each entry As DirectoryEntry In storage.DirectoryEntries
                If TypeOf entry Is Independentsoft.IO.StructuredStorage.Stream Then
                    Console.WriteLine("Stream: " + entry.Name)
                Else
                    Console.WriteLine("Storage(Folder): " + entry.Name)
                End If
            Next

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit!")
            Console.Read()
