使用进度条将文件从一个目录复制到另一个目录 C# WPF

Question

I am using the Following Code for Copying the Files from one directory to Another Directory

private void CopyFilesRecursively(string serverDirectorty, string localDirectory)
    {
        serverDirectorty = settings["baseDocPathSource"] as string;
        localDirectory = settings["baseDocPath"] as string;

        //Now Create all of the directories
        foreach (string dirPath in Directory.GetDirectories(serverDirectorty, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(dirPath.Replace(serverDirectorty, localDirectory));
        }

        //Copy all the files & Replaces any files with the same name
        foreach (string newPath in Directory.GetFiles(serverDirectorty, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
        {
            File.Copy(newPath, newPath.Replace(serverDirectorty, localDirectory), true);
        }
    }

I want to Integrate the Progress bar to my code ie when I click the copy button I want to show the progress bar moving from 0 to 100 and when copying of the files is done I want to hide the progress bar.

Below is my XML File

    <Grid>
    <ProgressBar Visibility="Hidden" Name="pbCopy" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="65" Margin="127,151,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="485"/>
    <Button Content="Copy Files" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="283,253,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="164" Height="66"/>

</Grid>

I want to Hide the Progress Bar from my Form Initially and want to set the Visibility "Visible" after clicking on the Button.

Try to use the Progress class. Pass it to your method.

private void CopyFilesRecursively(string serverDirectorty, string localDirectory, IProgress<double> progress)
{
    serverDirectorty = settings["baseDocPathSource"] as string;
    localDirectory = settings["baseDocPath"] as string;

    //Now Create all of the directories
    foreach (string dirPath in Directory.GetDirectories(serverDirectorty, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
    {
       Directory.CreateDirectory(dirPath.Replace(serverDirectorty, localDirectory));
    }

    //Copy all the files & Replaces any files with the same name
    var files = Directory.GetFiles(serverDirectorty, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

    double processed = 0;
    //Reset progress value to 0.
    progress?.Report(0);
            
    foreach (string newPath in files)
    {
        File.Copy(newPath, newPath.Replace(serverDirectorty, localDirectory), true);
        //Report in percentage 1-100%. If you have a ton of files, you should reduce the number of calling progress?.Report() e.g. using dividing by modulo.
        progress?.Report((++processed / files.Length) * 100);
    }
            
    //If files weren't found.
    progress?.Report(100);
}

Give the ProgressBar a name in your XAML markup:

<ProgressBar x:Name="pb" ... />

...and set its properties in your method. Something like this:

private void CopyFilesRecursively(string serverDirectorty, string localDirectory)
{
    serverDirectorty = settings["baseDocPathSource"] as string;
    localDirectory = settings["baseDocPath"] as string;

    //Now Create all of the directories
    foreach (string dirPath in Directory.GetDirectories(serverDirectorty, "*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(dirPath.Replace(serverDirectorty, localDirectory));
    }

    //Copy all the files & Replaces any files with the same name
    string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(serverDirectorty, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
    pb.Dispatcher.Invoke(() =>
    {
        pb.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
        pb.Maximum = files.Length;
        pb.Value = 0;
    });
    for (int i = 0; i < files.Length; i++)
    {
        string newPath = files[i];
        File.Copy(newPath, newPath.Replace(serverDirectorty, localDirectory), true);
        pb.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => pb.Value += i + 1);
    }
    pb.Dispatcher.Invoke(() => pb.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed);
}

Also make sure that you are running your copy method on a background thread:

private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    Task.Run(() => CopyFilesRecursively("...", "..."));
}
