How to Upload a Folder Recursive to FTP and display the Progress

I found a nice open-source FTP-Library that can upload files, change the directory etc.  (ftpLib.cs was originally written by Jaimon Mathew and modified by Dan Rolander and others).

But it lacks the feature to upload a Directory recursiv, therefore i coded a class with some Extension Methods.

I also made up a small Example:

SaveProgress Example for DotNetZip

When i was coding Send2FTP i needed a ZIP-Library that would be able to notify me about the progress while the compression.

After a littlebit research i found DotNetZip a really impressive ZIP Libary for dotNet.

So i made a small WinForms Example for implementing the SaveProgress Event of the DotNetZip Library and want to share it with you:

RarClicker

How to get Main Window Handle of the last active window

While developing a litte application for Windows 7 in C# i encountered the problem that i needed to focus the last window after i started my application.

In almost every thread, it was recommended to “listen” to window activation changes, and save the previous handle in a variable or so. But in my case, i wanted to avoid, running the programm permanently, or run anything in the background..
