I already have the code that will copy over any files listed in a listbox but i just need help on how to adapt it to also copy over directories.

Ex. of Listbox

  1. Z:\Test\TestFile.exe
  2. Z:\Test\TestFolder

This is the code i have so far... thank you in advance 

For Each item As String In FilesList.Items
    Try
        If IO.File.Exists(item) Then
        My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(item, 
                 FolderChosenText.Text & "\" & IO.Path.GetFileName(item))
        End If
    Catch ex As Exception
        MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
    End Try
Next

You have to use the same logic that you did with files, instead of copying files change it to copy directories. Below is the code:

            If IO.Directory.Exists(item) Then
                My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(item,
                FolderChosenText.Text & "\" & IO.Path.GetFileName(item))
            End If

  • Awesome that was too easy. Thank you for your help. Now is there an easy way to track the process with a progress bar? Sorry for my ignorance – Jordan Paris Jan 22 '16 at 03:43

You have to assign the minimum and the maximum value for the progress bar control. For instance: 0 as the minimum and the total number of items you have in your ListBox as the maximum. In a loop the progress bar value is going to increase by one until it reaches its maximum. Below is the code:

            ProgressBar1.Minimum = 0
            ProgressBar1.Maximum = FilesList.Items.Count - 1

            For i = 0 To FilesList.Items.Count - 1
                ProgressBar1.Value = i
            Next
