Question

I’m making server-client application. Client can manage server files (rename/copy/delete etc.) When I select more than one like (n) files to copy/paste it starts (n) threads of pasteC

I need a way to make them in a queue. How do I do that???

private void Paste()
{
    foreach (ListViewItem item in copiedItems)
    {
        Thread pasteC = new Thread(unused => fmc.PasteFromCopy(item.Text, somePath));
        pasteC.Start();
    }
}

the code down is in fmc class..

public void PasteFromCopy(string source,string dest)
{
    if (IsFolder(source))
    {
        CopyDirectory(source, dest);
    }
    else
    {
        CopyStream(source, dest); 
    }
}

Answer 1

i’ve figured it out

public void PasteFromCopy(string source,string dest)
{
    lock(this)
    {
        if (IsFolder(source))
        {
            CopyDirectory(source, dest);
        }
        else
        {
            CopyStream(source, dest); 

        }
    }
}
