.NET Matters: IFileOperation in Windows Vista

  • Article

Say you'd like to execute a bunch of file operations as a batch. You'd like some extra doo-dads like a standard Windows progress bar for the operation. What's the best way to approach this problem?

Be sure to browse Steve's sample code online, or grab the download from the article online.
