-using dropbox.net SDK
-CodeSnippet
ListFolderResult listFolderResult;
listFolderResult = dropboxClient.Files.ListFolderAsync(controlpath,true, false, false, false, true, 200).Result;
var listfoldercontinuearg = new ListFolderContinueArg(cursor);
var listFolderResult = dropboxClient.Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(listfoldercontinuearg).Result;

Make sure you're retrieving and processing all of the pages from ListFolderAsync and ListFolderContinueAsync. You're not guaranteed to get everything back by just calling each one once. You need to keep calling ListFolderContinueAsync with the latest cursor until ListFolderResult.hasMore is false to be sure you've retrieved all of the entries. Refer to the ListFolderAsync documentation for more information.
If you're already doing so, please share the rest of the relevant code for reproducing this issue.

hello Thanks For your response here is my code
ListFolderResult listFolderResult;
listFolderResult = dropboxClient.Files.ListFolderAsync(controlpath,true, false, false, false, true, 200).Result;do
{var listfoldercontinuearg = new ListFolderContinueArg(previousDeltaLink);
listFolderResult = dropboxClient.Files.ListFolderContinueAsync(listfoldercontinuearg).Result;foreach (var entry in listFolderResult.Entries){}
if (listFolderResult.HasMore)
{
previousDeltaLink = listFolderResult.Cursor;}
} while (previousDeltaLink.IsNotNullOrEmpty());

Can you clarify where/how the initial value of previousDeltaLink is being set though? In this code, it only seems to be set after each ListFolderContinueAsync call. I don't see where you're setting it from the initial call.
It looks like you are correctly setting the recursive parameter to true on the ListFolderAsync call, but you need to make sure you use that resulting cursor. Also, make sure you read out the entries from each page, including ListFolderAsync. I don't see you doing so in this code; you're only reading out the entries from ListFolderContinueAsync in this code.
