There is an ListBox in the form then

I am listing Folders Way in Listbox With FolderBrowserDialog as this ;

C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\TestA '(Has 4 Folders 27 Files)
C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\TestB '(Has 5 Folders 30 Files)

I can get the folders and files count when I listed one bye one.

if I listed only this ;

C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\TestA

in listbox the result is
27 Files / 4 Folders

but when I listed both folder way I can get only last listed folders count result

if I listed

C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\TestA
C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\TestA

then result is last listed as this

30 Files / 5 Folders

How can I get all folders files and subfolders count which together listed in listbox ?

What I have tried:

VB

<pre>Private Sub Button11_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
        For z = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            Dim TheSize As Long = GetDirSize(ListBox1.Items.Item(z)) '("C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\Deneme")
            Dim counterDir As Integer = IO.Directory.GetDirectories(ListBox1.Items.Item(z), "*.*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length 'counts the number of files
            Dim counterFile As Integer = IO.Directory.GetFiles(ListBox1.Items.Item(z), "*.*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories).Count 'counts the number of files
            Label5.Text = counterFile & " Files" & " / " & counterDir.ToString & " Folders"
        Next z
       
    End Sub

Check this:

VB

Private Sub Button11_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button11.Click
        Dim currpath As String = ""
        Dim TheSize As Long = 0
        Dim counterFile As Integer = 0
        Dim counterDir As Integer = 0
        
        For z = 0 To ListBox1.Items.Count - 1
            currpath = ListBox1.Items.Item(z).ToString()
            TheSize = GetDirSize(currpath) '("C:\Users\Yaman\Desktop\Deneme")
            counterDir += IO.Directory.GetDirectories(currpath, "*.*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories).Length 'counts the number of files
            counterFile += IO.Directory.GetFiles(currpath, "*.*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories).Count 'counts the number of files
        Next z
       Label5.Text = counterFile & " file(s)" & " in " & counterDir.ToString & " folder(s)"
       
    End Sub

Take a deep look at the changes ;)
