I want to be able to copy a directory of files (all .HTM files) from a
network drive to a local drive on the machine c:\HTMFiles , How can i do
that?
I tried File.Copy(sourc e, dest) but i need to put the file name in the dest
section. I just want to copy the entire directory since I don't know all the
file names just the extensions. Would
File.Copy("\ser vername\folder" , "c:\\HTMFiles\* .HTM") work or no?
thx

No, I wouldn't expect it to. File.Copy expects the name of *a* file.
You need something like Directory.GetFi les to find out which files to
copy, and then copy each of them in turn.

So i can't just copy all the files from one spot to another?
I need each file name? If so that won't work for me since the file names
will be different everytime

Not in one call to File.Copy, no.

That's why you use Directory.GetFi les to find out what the files are
first...

So since I just need only the files with .HTM extensions, i just can't use a
wildcard?

No, you can't. File.Copy copies *a file*, not a whole load of files.

Yes, you can. Very easily. Just not in one line of code.
I repeat:
Use Directory.GetFi les to find the list of HTML files.
Go through each of the files it returns, and call File.Copy with it.
What's the matter with that solution?

Then you presumably either want the version that will overwrite
existing files, or check whether or not the destination file exists
first, and ignore that file if so.

vice versa.

Using .NET 2.0 is it more efficient to copy files to a single folder versus
spreading them across multiple folders.
For instance if we have 100,000 files to be copied,
Do we copy all of them to a single folder called 'All Files'
Do we spread them out and copy them to multiple folders like
Folder 000 - Copy files from 0 to 1000
Folder 001 - Copy files from 1000 to 2000
Folder 002 - Copy files from 2000 to 2999

I am using standard File.Copy(source,dest,true) method in C# and I have
problem with copying large number of files.
Here is my code:
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{
File.Copy(file.FullName,destPath+ "\\" + file.Name, true);
}
This code copies only 5 or 10 files but in "files" collection there is 60
files.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
