C# Get Directories runs slow
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
foreach (string directory in Directory.GetDirectories(SearchDirectory, "*",SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
//This is slow i have many files/directories here.
i Search through many directories checking textfiles for small amounts of information and the code works fine i just would like to be able to loop through all the directories with a progress bar of some sort that is not lagging the program does not seem to keep up with Directory.GetDirectories. Thanks in advance

@TimSchmelter That wouldn't help with having a progress bar though.

@Adam Is your problem that callingGetDirectoriesis slow or that your processing of each one takes time and that's why you want a progress bar?

progressbar.Invoke a change in value on a progress bar. Calculate a percent based on the number of directories. WinForms or WPF should probably be specified.

You would need something like a BackgroundWorker to thread the UI interface. There are numerous ways to thread a UI, theBackgroundWorkeris just one of the easiest to implement in my opinion. Here's a tutorial on how to use it
