I am wanting the most efficient way to copy a file with a progress bar updating the copy percentage.
This is the standard copy code I am using:
System.IO.File.Copy(source,target)
This is very fast and efficient. However, I cannot report the copy percentage.
I have tried many functions that read and save a file by opening up the filestream and then looping while reading/writing the data. This enables me to report the progress.
Here are the functions that I am using:
Public Sub SaveBinaryFile(strFilename As String, bytesToWrite() As Byte)
Dim position As Integer = 0
Dim BufferSize As Integer = 4096

Alright, so in yesterday's thread, I asked for the codes to copy the contents of a directory to a separate directory. The code:
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory( , , )
worked fine.However, I have decided that I wish to add a progress bar into the mix so that the user can see the progress of the transfer copy. So far:
Looked through many tuts, can't find one.

During the file copy, Label2 isn't being updated. In fact, my whole form goes non-responsive. How can I fix this?
I have created a simple Backgroundworker process to copy a large file (30GB). Is there any way to report the progress of that file copy?
I'm using System.IO.File.Copy to perform the copy. I've seen a few posts/blogs that suggest comparing the bytes copied with the size of the source file but that seems like a huge overhead in this case.
i am trying to figure out how to copy a file in the background and monitor its progress.
in VB6 i used the FileCopyEX API
so i wrote a quick application in VB6 that used the API, then opened it in VB2008, so it ran the upgrade wizard
i get one error message after the wizard runs

What is the best/efficient way to copy a file showing the copy progress?
I copied the code here and translate the code to vb [URL]it is working fine but there is one small problem but I cannot solve? Here is my code: SyncClientVB Another Source The scenario is... the progress is reported by an event (OnCopyingFile event)
Public Sub OnCopyingFile(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As CopyingFileEventArgs)
If pbFileTransfer.Value <> e.PercentCopied Then
If txtCurrentFile.Text <> e.FilePath Then
txtCurrentFile.Text = e.FilePath

The problem is that it is ok when runned but when I click the form it starts to hang but in the console... it is still continuing.

So as it says in title i need to copy several files from one folder to another. But i dont need to copy folder with files. i need to copy several files to another folder..
And show progress in progressbar.. is there a way how to do it, cos i found only how to copy 1 file showing progress..
I'm trying to write a program where people can click a browse button, click a file to copy, and then click a second browse button and click a destination folder. I've tried
My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(TextBox1.text, TextBox2.Text)
and get the error "Could not complete operation since a directory already exists in this path 'C:UsersSamDesktop'."
FileCopy TextBox1.Text, TextBox2.Text
gives me "The target file "C:UsersSamDesktop" is a directory, not a file."
Both methods work if I put C:UsersSamDesktop'filename'.'extension' in the destination. But I want the user to be able to select the destination without having to type a new file name.
I'm trying to do a multiple file copy and I can't seem to get anything to work properly. Currently I just have one form with a source selection which is an open file dialog and I can select multiple files. But I'm not too certain where to go from there. What should I be using for the actual file names them selves?I'm not sure what I need to do in order to get the file names of the open file dialog in order to copy them.
View 3 RepliesI found this code which alows you to copy files using the windows api, this code works perfect untill the directory that you are copying from contains sub folders (which i need to be able to do). I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction if not sugets an alternative.

I am making a program where I want to copy & rename a file. I want to copy a file from a directory which I can choose (by OpenFileDialog1.FileName), then copy or move it to a directory. This directory has been newly made and named (progdirCollin). Let's say the file is called cv.pdf then I want it to be moved to the new dir and rename it Collin.pdf. The extensions can also be .rtf or .doc and I want them to be left unchanged. So I want to copy or move a file, rename it, but keep the extension of the file, which can be all kinds of file (vb.pdf to collin.pdf or vb.txt to collin.txt.)
Explained :
1. Put in the name of the person = V
2. Pick a file with the openfiledialog = V
3. Make a directory with the name of the person in the appdir = V
4. Copy / Move the file to the new directory = V
5. Then rename the file to the persons name, but keep the .doc / .pdf / .rtf etc = ?
All V = Done
What this code will do to the copy?
vb
Using source As New IO.FileStream("source path here", IO.FileMode.Open)
Using target As New IO.FileStream("destination path here", IO.FileMode.Create)
Const BUFFER_SIZE As Integer = 1024

Before I begin I would like to mention that I am not a noob in VB, it's just I've never had to do anything this complex before.Basically what I want is to have a program that you can load a txt file in, have it copy key words, and paste it in a textbox so I can use it later on.So in this text file, there is a bunch of info, but I am only needing a certain part.Here is an example of a text file (actually a .dat file, but is easily read):

I have a program that uses IO.File.Copy to copy files from point a to point b. Its slow, which is fine because there rather large files. I was wondering if there is way to get an estimate time to copy a particular file(s).
Example: File a will take 1 hour to copy, File B will take 30 minutes to copy. Estimate Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes.
how can i either copy/move/rename & delete a file in program files directory? [c ode]i already have the form which grabs the updated file and it save it to temp directory ready for copying, just stuck here as of the access denied.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to create a log file which I am going to use to populate some controls (DataGridView or Treeview). I am trying to figure out if should use text files or XML files to do so. Effectively the log will highlight multiple phases in a client-side app. The log will be written to at various phases when the project is running. The user will always have the options move on to the next phase or save progress and exit the project. As such, I want the log file to highlight how far the user has progressed throught the various phases AND I want the log to highlight varous information from each phase. Whenever the user starts the project, they will be given the option to load existing log files. So the project will have to read these log files and append them where necessary as the user progresses.
I am not sure what the best way to do this is and below is a rudimentary approach using text files. As you can see, the top of the file would have a summary of all the phases and whether or not the user completed each phase. Next each phase would have a data section highlighting what data was stored along the way. I have used a ":" to denote each section. Then within each section I would obviously need to use a delimeter for all my data. So if Phase1 = True, then I would load all the pertinent data from "Phase1:" into the desired control. Can anyone provide an efficient way of doing this and provide some insight as to whether I should use XML instead. The phases my change during development and I am not sure yet which controls I will be using. Does XML provide more flexibility.
In summary I am looking to create, read/write and append log files and populate controls with the data in varous sections of the log file. Example:
Phase1 = True
Phase2 = True
Phase3 = False
Phase4 = False
