I need to copy all files, folders etc. within a specific folder to another folder. How do I accomplish this with C# in .net? I was trying to use the Directory class, but can't see any method for this purpose. I'm using .net 2.0 Hope you can help...

System.IO.File.Copy(sourcepath,destinationpath) .... System.IO.Directory.Move(sourcepath, destpath) .... string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(path) foreach(string path in files) { System.IO.File.Copy(path,destinationpath) } string[] dirs = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories() foreach(string dir in dirs) { destdir = destinationpath + "\\" + dir; System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(destdir); } Somathing like this.

Thanks ddrakonn. I though there would be a command to do this without having to loop through all the files and folders manually. I understand the principle of what you posted, but your code doesn't look completely tested. I mean how does it copy files or folders within folders. I think it lacks recursiveness. But I did find a method that does what I wanted and looks similar to yours: http://xneuron.wordpress.com/2007/04/12/... public static void CopyAll(DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo target) { // Check if the target directory exists, if not, create it. if (Directory.Exists(target.FullName) == false) { Directory.CreateDirectory(target.FullName); } // Copy each file into it’s new directory. foreach (FileInfo fi in source.GetFiles()) { Console.WriteLine(@”Copying {0}\{1}”, target.FullName, fi.Name); fi.CopyTo(Path.Combine(target.ToString(), fi.Name), true); } // Copy each subdirectory using recursion. foreach (DirectoryInfo diSourceSubDir in source.GetDirectories()) { DirectoryInfo nextTargetSubDir = target.CreateSubdirectory(diSourceSubDir.Name); CopyAll(diSourceSubDir, nextTargetSubDir); } }
