what is teh most efficient way for calculating the size of a big folder or a Drive itself.
Right now I am calculate the folder or drive size by calculating each file size inside that drive.
Now if I calculate a folder size like this it takes hell lot of time.
And if I try to calculate drive size a deadlock occurs. It gives error like
Error : ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x1a0858 to COM context 0x1a09c8 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping
Is there some system functions which I can use to calculate drive and big folder size.
Plz do help....
