Is there an asynchronous version of DirectoryInfo.GetFiles / Directory.GetDirectories in dotNet? I’d like to use them in an F# async block, and it’d be nice to have a version that can be called with AsyncCallbacks.
Problem is I’m trying to suck in a bunch of directories, probably on SMB mounts over slow network connections, and I don’t want a bunch of thread pool threads sitting around waiting for network reads when they could be doing other work.
No, I don’t think there is. The pool thread approach is probably the most pragmatic. Alternatively, I guess you could drop down to P/Invoke – but that would be a lot more work.
