Copying lots of files

[CheeseBoy]

Hi all.

I have written a program that extracts mp3 files from playlists and then copies them to a set directory. Now the whole thing works fine but as its copying, the whole application just goes blank. On closer inspection the task manager says the program is Not responding although this isnt the case as its happily copying files...

I have written progress bars and text box progress to show each file as its copied but this cannot be seen until the end of the copying..

Is there a way to get focus back to the main window and display these progress tools in real time...

Try adding:
Application.DoEvents
to let your app refresh while it is running.

Thanks for that will give it a go. On another note when copying files can you trigger the windows copying status box???

As far as I know, there aint any predefined copy-dialogs in .net, but it should be no problem rebuilding it.

If you need help with the coding just ask.

File Triggering

Hi, I am using C#.

I would like know whether it is possible to build a folder monitoring service. The service can trigger a process/program when there is a file copied into a specified folder.

Is it possible to trigger the process after the big file(200M) is copied into the folder completely?

Could you provide some codes sample?

Thanks

You could add a FileSystemWatcher to your application from the toolbox, that will allow you to monitor file system events.

Created even

I tried to copy a big file into the monitored folder, but the file has not been copied completely, the "Created" even already triggered.

How to know when the file is "completely created"?

Thanks
