I'm working on a project that needs to copy from 1 directory 10MB to a second directory (second directory is created in earlear code by combining textboxes and strings, this works fine)

When I start a timer befor copying for a progres bar that increases the value every 25 ms it wil only start with the timer after de copy ' job' is done but the ENABLE timer is given before the copy job, is there a way to use the progress bary while copying data..?

Thanks!

(Sorry for my bad english.. I'm a Dutch one!)

Hi, Robbin AB-SYSTEMS

There's a piece of code for your information:

void readFiles()

{

// Sets the progress bar's minimum value to a number

// representing the hard disk space before the files are read in.

// You will most likely have to set this using a system call.

// NOTE: The code below is meant to be an example and

// will not compile.

progressBar1.Minimum = AvailableDiskSpace();

// Sets the progress bar's maximum value to a number

// representing the total hard disk space.

// You will most likely have to set this using a system call.

// NOTE: The code below is meant to be an example

// and will not compile.

progressBar1.Maximum = TotalDiskSpace();

// Uses a for loop to iterate through the operations to be

// completed. In this case, five files are to be written

// to the disk, so it will execute the loop 5 times.

for (int i = 1; i<= 5; i++)

{

// Insert code to read a file into memory and update file size.

// Increases the progress bar's value based on the size of

// the file currently being written.

progressBar1.Increment(FileSize);

// Updates the label to show available drive space.

label1.Text = "Current Disk Space Used = " + progressBar1.Value.ToString();

}

}

Hope it helps.
Best Regards.
Ye

Unfortunaly the diskspace is not a thing to work on, there are a 30 other peoples that or working on that same disk so that will increase also when copien wil not be don (errors or something..)
