Total number of files and directories

AtulSureka

Hi,

I want to determine the total number of files and folders in the given
directory.
I have a solution to go recursively on each folder and make a count . But I
do not want to go recursively as it may reduce the performance.

Is there any direct function or property to detmine the numbers.

Nop and yes, you could avoid the recursion but you will still would have to
"visit" each directory no matter what. You would just convert the recursion
to an iterative method.
