That will only get the files in that one directory. If you have sub-folders and want them included in your size then you will need to implement a recursive algorithm to go through all subfolders.

Hi Within MSDN it says that you can use Directory class to get the size of the folder. But i can't find the way of doing it. Maybe you can do a looping on the files within that folder and get the sizes of it. Then you have to do manual calculation. But it will be super slow if you have many files + directories. Maybe someone here can share their experiences :)
