AsyncCopyTo

A small CopyToAsync() extension for C# Streams that features progress monitoring.

Features:

• Reports progress to a user provided IProgress instance.
• Reads new chunks from source stream concurrently to writing the previously read chunks to the destination.

Usage

Stream sourceStream;
Stream destinationStream;
IProgress<long> progress = new SomeProgressImplementation();
int bufferSize = 1024; // optional

sourceStream.CopyToAsync(destinationStream, progress, bufferSize);

// continue work while source gets copied to destination and with regular progress reports after each bufferSize bytes
