Add progress bar to FTP upload. Code works but no progr.bar

thiago costa

Hello there guys, Below is my working code...

It works, it uploads 2 files to my FTP server...

I want to add a progress bar, is it too hard ??? It doesn't matter if it is individual stats for each file, or one for both, which ever is less code :D

Thank you so much guys.

I know there are other ways to upload more than one file, but this is the easiest way I found.

I am hoping I can add a progress bar to the existing code, rather than making fresh code... Only because this code here I am understanding well.

Thanks again !!!!

private void button4_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

string FileName = "c:\\slides\\" + TB_slideid.Text + ".gif";

string FileName2 = "c:\\slides\\" + "descript2.png";

if (TB_itemid.Text != "")

{

try

{

WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("ftp://2wheelsgonewild.com/public_html/ebay/" + TB_itemid.Text + "/");

request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.MakeDirectory;

request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("wijjsufc", "password");

using (var resp = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse()) ;

}

catch

{

MessageBox.Show(" =D Folder already exists, select a new ITEM ID ...lol" + TB_itemid.Text + " is already exists in server :D ");

}

Upload(FileName);

Upload(FileName2);

FACE_upload.Text = ": D";

FACE_upload.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Green;

}

else

{

MessageBox.Show("Make sure ITEM ID is not empty. -.-''");

}

Lol I think this worked but I am honestely not sure...

The progress bar moves but the files im uploading are kind of too small to tell.

// If a process is already running, warn the user and cancel the operation
if (isProcessRunning)
{
MessageBox.Show("A process is already running.");
return;
}

// Initialize the thread that will handle the background process
Thread backgroundThread = new Thread(
new ThreadStart(() =>
{
// Set the flag that indicates if a process is currently running
isProcessRunning = true;

// Iterate from 0 - 99
// On each iteration, pause the thread for .05 seconds, then update the progress bar
for (int n = 0; n < 100; n++)
{
Thread.Sleep(50);
progressBar1.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => progressBar1.Value = n));
}

// Show a dialog box that confirms the process has completed
MessageBox.Show("Thread completed!");

// Reset the progress bar's value if it is still valid to do so
if (progressBar1.InvokeRequired)
progressBar1.BeginInvoke(new Action(() => progressBar1.Value = 0));

// Reset the flag that indicates if a process is currently running
isProcessRunning = false;
}
));

// Start the background process thread
backgroundThread.Start();
}

Thanks ... the first way didnt work.

The second way doesn't really encourage me. it is way too much to be even worth it..
It was really easy with DOWNLOADING from ftp.

WebClient Client = new WebClient();
Client.DownloadFileCompleted += new AsyncCompletedEventHandler(Completed);
Client.DownloadProgressChanged += new DownloadProgressChangedEventHandler(ProgressChanged);
Client.DownloadFileAsync(new Uri("http://mywebsite.com/update.zip"), "update.zip");}

//The code below, goes after the top one (different block)

private void ProgressChanged(object sender, DownloadProgressChangedEventArgs e){
progressBar1.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;}

//The code below, will do what ever happens after the file completes put code between {}
//Make sure you drag a progress bar named progressBar1
private void Completed(object sender, AsyncCompletedEventArgs e){}//what ever to do after completed

So there is no way to do the upload some way similar ?

Thanks

----EDIT----

Thanks very much for the effort, I am not too fluent, and it's a shame I gave up.
But I think I might declare myself beat by a upload progress bar for the moment lol.

Thanks again

Ok, I added background worker,

Added the event,

Errors don't exist...

How how do I make it so, it will detect my upload ?

I uploaded the file, and it didn't move the bar.

Hi,
Please refer the below link. You need to use Thread for uploading the file.
