Question

I want to transfer files from one directory to another using streamreader and writer class. Now i want to add a statusbar to show the filename on statusbar along with the remaining percentage. It will reach 100 when file has been moved to new directory. Any suggestions please?

  Dim ioFile As New System.IO.StreamReader("C:\sample.csv")
  Dim ioLine As String
  Dim ioLines As String
  ioLine = ioFile.ReadLine
 ioLines = ioLine
 While Not ioLine = ""
     ioLine = ioFile.ReadLine
     ioLines = ioLines & vbCrLf & ioLine
  End While
 Dim ioWriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter("C:\new.csv")
 ioWriter.WriteLine(ioLines)
 ioFile.Close()
 ioWriter.Close()

Saif Kahn is right, if you are just copying a file, then just copy a file. But to answer your question, here is a progress bar:

Dim tmpLines() as String = File.ReadAllLines("c:\sample.csv")
ProgressBar1.Maximum = tmpLines.Count - 1
ProgressBar1.Value = 0
For tmpRun As Integer = 0 To tmpLines.Count - 1
  ProgressBar1.Value += 1

  'Copy Stuff
