Hi all

Any of you lovely people know of a good C# / .net forum? One where you can ask questions, swap ideas/code etc.

Reason I'm asking is that I've started work on updating the Files plugin. I'm using the nice and simple File.Copy() method to copy files. Is there a way of getting feedback when the file has been copied? Any Ideas?

you could look into the FileSystemWatcher (i think thats what its called), it can monitor a folder for moves, copies, deletes etc, so add a watcher to the dest dir and then that should fire an event when the file copy is COMPLETE.

i use the filesystem watcher to monitor and refresh dir lists when that directory changes.

codeproject.com
expertexchange.com
those are the main ones i use

Also useful are C# Corner and dotnetjunkies which both have forums.

Couldn't you set a flag (or trigger an event, or something) on the line after invoking the File.Copy() method? That line won't get executed until the copy has successfully completed (and an IO error would throw an exception).

I don't use this forum very often, but The Daily WTF has a coders help forum that I've found extremely useful.
