i have a a list of files that i get from a drop panel
i.e
later on i need to run throught each of these files and perform a copy of them using a backgroundworker based on there file extension to filter if they are files or folders if they are files i start the files BGW if they are folders i start the folder BGW.
this is what i tried
However as i expected this works great for the first file but then i get an error about how the background worker is already in use.
So i guess i need help in trying to work out how to add these files to a que of some sort and run them in a background worker 1 at a time.
i.e
Code:
theFiles = CType(e.Data.GetData("FileDrop", True), String())this is what i tried
Code:
Private Sub Run_btn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Run_btn.Click
''Get Destination if HDD
If Not Directory.Exists(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "/Backups/" & Prifle_NameTextBox.Text) Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "/Backups/" & Prifle_NameTextBox.Text)
di = New DirectoryInfo(My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "/Backups/" & Prifle_NameTextBox.Text)
Dest = My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "/Backups/" & Prifle_NameTextBox.Text & "/"
Else
Dest = My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory & "/Backups/" & Prifle_NameTextBox.Text & "/"
End If
Dim File_Type As String
For Each theFile As String In theFiles
File_Type = Path.GetExtension(theFile)
If TextFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or AudioFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or VideoFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or VectorFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or CompressesFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or DiskImageFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or DeveloperFiles.Contains(File_Type) Or MiscFiles.Contains(File_Type) Then
Me.Copy_File_BGW.RunWorkerAsync()
Else
Me.Copy_Folder_BGW.RunWorkerAsync()
End If
Next
End SubSo i guess i need help in trying to work out how to add these files to a que of some sort and run them in a background worker 1 at a time.
