on a disk?

I converted the C# code...

Private Function DirSize(ByVal path As String) As Long

Dim sz As Long = 0
Dim d As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(path)

' get file length
Dim f As FileInfo

For Each f In d.GetFiles()
sz += f.Length
Next

' recurse into directories
Dim dx As DirectoryInfo

For Each dx In d.GetDirectories()
sz += DirSize(dx.FullName)
Next

Return sz

End Function

Thank you for doing that! The next time this question is posted we have
a solution written in VB.NET.
