Answer 1

I use the following extension method to do that:

    public static long Size(this DirectoryInfo Directory, bool Recursive = false)
    {
        if (Directory == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("Directory");
        return Directory.EnumerateFiles("*", Recursive ? SearchOption.AllDirectories : SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly).Sum(x => x.Length);
    }
