Copy a directory recursive

Ultima oara cand a fost nevoie sa fac asa ceva a fost in timpul facultății. In seara asta aveam de lucru la un proiect ce se ocupa cu un deploy si supriza, aveam nevoie de acest mecanism. Speram ca .NET 4.0 sa fie plin de surprize, dar din pacate nu. Asa ca am inceput sa implementez de manuta si uite ce a iesit:
public static class DirectoryHelper
{
///
/// Copy recursive a directory to a specific location.
///

/// Source directory.
/// Destination directory.
public static void Copy(string sourceDirecotry, string destionationDirectory)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(destionationDirectory))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(destionationDirectory);
}
//Copy all files from the current directory.
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirecotry))
{
var fileName=Path.GetFileName(file);
File.Copy(Path.Combine(destionationDirectory,fileName), Path.Combine(destionationDirectory, fileName));
}
//Copy files from the subfolders.
foreach (string folder in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDirecotry))
{
var directoryName = Path.GetFileName(folder);
Copy(Path.Combine(destionationDirectory,directoryName), Path.Combine(destionationDirectory, directoryName));
}
}
}
M-am gandit si la o varianta LINQ, sa folosesc ForEach si expresii lambda, dar nu e la fel de rapid ca un foreach scris de mana. Un For ar fi si mai rapid, dar nu cred ca e cazul, prefer sa las codul sa fie cat mai usor de inteles. Avantajul la LINQ ar fi fost ca se poate scrie fara apeluri recursive( o sa revin maine si cu varianta aceasta).
Dezamagirea mea a fost in momentul in care am vrut sa il pun ca extension method la System.IO.Directory. Nu se poate asa ceva din cauza ca System.IO.Directory este o clasa statica. Asa ca trebe sa ne multumim cu clase helpere sau sa adaugam aceasta metoda ca extensie la DirectoryInfo.

Atentie, codul nu functioneaza daca unul din path-uri este subpath pentru celalat path. In cazul meu validarea pentru acest caz se face in alt loc.

Why Database Modernization Matters for AI

  When companies transition to the cloud, they typically begin with applications and virtual machines, which is often the easier part of the process. The actual complexity arises later when databases are moved. To save time and effort, cloud adoption is more of a cloud migration in an IaaS manner, fulfilling current, but not future needs. Even organisations that are already in the cloud find that their databases, although “migrated,” are not genuinely modernised. This disparity becomes particularly evident when they begin to explore AI technologies. Understanding Modernisation Beyond Migration Database modernisation is distinct from merely relocating an outdated database to Azure. It's about making your data layer ready for future needs, like automation, real-time analytics, and AI capabilities. AI needs high throughput, which can be achieved using native DB cloud capabilities. When your database runs in a traditional setup (even hosted in the cloud), in that case, you will enc...

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

[Post Event] Azure AI Connect, March 2025

On March 13th, I had the opportunity to speak at Azure AI Connect about modern AI architectures.  My session focused on the importance of modernizing cloud systems to efficiently handle the increasing payload generated by AI.
