Hide Folder in VB.NET

Submitted by donbermoy on Sunday, May 3, 2015 - 21:31.

Today, I will teach you how to create a program that can hide folder in VB.NET. Now, let's start this tutorial! 1. Let's start with creating a Windows Form Application for this tutorial by following the following steps in Microsoft Visual Studio: Go to File, click New Project, and choose Windows Application. 2. Next, add only one Button named Button1 and labeled it as "Browse Folder to Hide" and FolderBrowserDialog named as FolderBrowserDialog1 for browsing a folder. You must design your interface like this: output

3. Next, we will code for clicking the Button. Here's the code:

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim FolderToHide As String
        If FolderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            'Choose the Folder To Hide
            FolderToHide = FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath.TrimEnd
 
            Dim ToHideDir As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(FolderToHide)
            'Then Change the Attribute To Hidden Which will Hide the Folder
            ToHideDir.Attributes = IO.FileAttributes.Hidden
        End If
    End Sub

As you can see the above code, we only trigger to use the IO.FileAttributes.Hidden to hide the folder to its directory. Choose any folder from your pc then it will hide it.
