I need to show multiple file copies and the progress of each copy with progress bars. I have done something like this before when downloading from the web using a WebClient. I was trying to do this with the windows API CopyFileEx, but the information I found on this (in two places) must be old as it does not work correctly. Rather than waste more time trying to fix it I was just going to modify my download file progress I made using a WebClient to work for this.

My question is there any problems anyone can think of with doing it by this method? I did a quick test and at least for just the copy portion it worked fine, but I wanted to check if someone might know differently.

Should I take it my god like programming genius stuns everyone to silence or no one has an opinion on this?
