[VB.NET] Copy files in a folder depending on file size

Hi OCN members smile.gif

I'm trying to make a little app that will scan our shared drive (X:) and copy all the AVI and MP4 files that are over 100MB to a folder on my C drive.
The point of this is to convert them into a smaller size to save space and it gets tiring scanning that drive everyday for files and copying them back and fourth.
Any ideas on how to do it? I've tried using the FileInfo.Length and FileCopy but that only works with one file and cannot find a way to make it work with multiple files.

If you need any more information then just ask smile.gif

You just need to recursively / loop around the directory.

from site.
Code:
void DirSearch(string sDir) 
{
        try     
        {
           foreach (string d in Directory.GetDirectories(sDir)) 
           {
                foreach (string f in Directory.GetFiles(d, txtFile.Text)) 
                {
                   lstFilesFound.Items.Add(f);[B]  // you can then search this list for the files with a for loop.[/B]
                }
                DirSearch(d);
           }
        }
        catch (System.Exception excpt) 
        {
                Console.WriteLine(excpt.Message);
        }
}

Its c#. But I was more posting that as a consept/general design.

I have no interest in VB or C# to be honest, both are useless, don't see the point in C#, for running in vm java is fine plus is xplatform. And VB erh. why?

Because im just starting out and I need a basic language, I've looked at python but it looks like it doesn't really work out for application programming

Learn java then (look at c/c++ after). vb is a waste of time.

VB.NET is fine to learn application programming.

There's a lot of snobbishness regarding Visual Basic (and given the early versions, you'd be right). But these days it's a pretty powerful language.
