However if I exit the app before all files are loaded, the thread doesn't respond to the .Join() until the call t...
Is there an asynchronous version of DirectoryInfo.GetFiles / Directory.GetDirectories in dotNet? I'd like to use them in an F# async block, and it'd be nice to have a version that can be called with AsyncCallbacks.

I am just learning C# (have been fiddling with it for about 2 days now) and I've decided that, for leaning purposes, I will rebuild an old app I made in VB6 for syncing files (generally across a network). When I wrote the code in VB 6, it worked approximately like this: Create a Scripting.FileSystemObject Create directory objects for ...

I am a little confused about setting NTFS Permissions to a directory after I created Active Directory Groups (both programmatically). When I created the Active Directory Objects then I have to wait a few seconds to set the NTFS Permissions.

If there a more efficient way to do the following: DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\"); newFileName = Path.Combine(di.FullName, "MyFile.Txt"); I realise that it’s only two lines of code, but given that I already have the directory, it feels like I should be able to do something like: newFileName = di.Combine(“MyFile.txt”); ...
