If you use the "/z" option on your copy, it reports percentage progress to the console screen.

copy /z sourcefile.ext destfile.ext

You could capture the text output and process it into your own progress bar, but there is no "tidy" way to do it - it won't call a delegate, or signal an event because it's an OC command line operation, not intended to be used from your code.

can you give a example ?

No, because I have no need to do that - I don't use CMD commands to copy in my code (I use File.Copy which does the same job but doesn't require and external process)
But it should be simple - just capture the process STDOUT (or STDERR - I haven't checked) and examine it. The MSDN Process documentation should show you how.
