I m currently rewriting a file deletion tool with safe deleting algorithm and stuff. Wenn I m trying to browse through a directory recursivly and to delete all files in there and all subdirs etc. the debugger will throw a stackoverflow exception.
private void wipeFile(string file)
{
bool ret = false;
switch (m_algo)
{
case Algorithms.fastAlgo:
ret = FastWipe.WipeFile(file);
break;
case Algorithms.safeAlgo:
ret = CleanWipe.WipeFile(file, m_timesToWrite);
break;
}
handleFileWiped(file, DateTime.Now, ret);
}
/// <summary>
/// Wipes a directory recursively
/// </summary>
/// <param name="directory">Given subdir</param>
private void deepWipe(string directory)
{
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(directory))
{
wipeFile(file);
}
foreach (string subdir in Directory.GetDirectories(directory))
{
deepWipe(directory);
}
try
{
Directory.Delete(directory);
handleDirectoryWiped(directory, DateTime.Now, true);
}
catch { handleDirectoryWiped(directory, DateTime.Now, false); }
}
