Question

While trying to complete a duplicate file software I noticed there was an issue with the Directory.GetDirectories() method. When the folder was not accessible for whatever reason (most of the time it was due to the folder being a system folder) the loop would stop since an exception would be thrown.

After some research trying to figure out what would be the best method to do the recursion manually I found Marc Gravell’s example which worked perfectly for my needs.

My issue with the above method is that I can’t figure out how it will be possible to know when the recursion method has finished processing any files/folders. So any insights on the matter would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Put a message box after the operation comepletes:

static void Main()
{
  string path = ""; // TODO
  ApplyAllFiles(path, ProcessFile, FolderProcessed);
  MessageBox.Show("Operation complete.");
}
