Topic: Batch processing files example [generic example]

[exmachina]

It is only an (C#) example of how to process a lot of files using the Backgroundworker component.
Uses the Windows API to enumerate files because for this purpose I think it works better than .NET functions. Also shows you how to cancel the process correctly if the form is closed, and some things more.

It is a an WinForms application , but the Backgroundworker component can also be used in AutoCAD with a modal form.
The application is just one example, does not alter any file.

I'm not a programmer and I've never read any book about programming, but I think it is a good example



The project must be compiled before opening the main form. Usually, if you see this icon you must compile before opening a form to avoid errors

Updated
I apologize. The code contains an error, I forgot to add these lines inside worker.cs.


This does not affect the execution, but the application does not show the actual status in the GUI.

A more complex example
Files can be filtered by type, size or date (take a look at  DateTimeInterval.cs)

Perfect, but be coherent: In this case, do not read my posts and do not use my code.

Thumbs up. This material is great for anybody wanting to start with this topic

...start with this topic ?
Can you share some example like this?

Is a rhetorical question, I know the answer

Thanks for your "interest".

Do I miss something here? I've read your code and next week I'll have a closer look to see if I can implement this in one of my projects. It is really interesting and it might help me with some problems.

Why do some users do not like your posts? I've not read all topics lately so I missed something?

Do not worry about that, It's not your problem, nor my problem
I'm glad that my code has been useful to you.
