XCopy not performing process - need help

[vinayakkatkam]

public bool ProcessXCopy()
{
string XCopyArguments = "C:\\Docume nts and Settings\\Vinay ak.Katkam\\Desk top\\SYNCHRONIZ ATION\\BASE-VERSION\\SDDS\\ *.* " + "C:\\Docume nts and Settings\\Vinay ak.Katkam\\Desk top\\SYNCHRONIZ ATIONBACKUP\\BA CKUP";
Process XCopyProcess = new Process();
ProcessStartInf o XCopyStartInfo = new ProcessStartInf o();

XCopyStartInfo. FileName = "CMD.exe ";

XCopyStartInfo. RedirectStandar dError = false;
XCopyStartInfo. RedirectStandar dOutput = false;
XCopyStartInfo. RedirectStandar dInput = false;

XCopyStartInfo. UseShellExecute = false;
//Dont show a command window
XCopyStartInfo. CreateNoWindow = true;

//XCopyStartInfo. CreateNoWindow = false;

XCopyStartInfo. Arguments = "XCOPY " + XCopyArguments ;

XCopyProcess.En ableRaisingEven ts = true;
XCopyProcess.St artInfo = XCopyStartInfo;

//start cmd.exe & the XCOPY process
XCopyProcess.St art();

//set the wait period for exiting the process
XCopyProcess.Wa itForExit(); //or the wait time you want

int ExitCode = XCopyProcess.Ex itCode;
bool XCopySuccessful = true;

//Now we need to see if the process was successful
if (ExitCode > 0 & !XCopyProcess.H asExited)
{
XCopyProcess.Ki ll();
XCopySuccessful = false;
}

//now clean up after ourselves
XCopyProcess.Di spose();
XCopyStartInfo = null;
return XCopySuccessful ;


// XCopyStartInfo. Arguments = " XCOPY " + @"'C:\Docume nts and Settings\Vinaya k.Katkam\Deskto p\SYNCHRONIZATI ON\BASE-VERSION\SDDS'" + " " + @"'C:\Docume nts and Settings\Vinaya k.Katkam\Deskto p\SYNCHRONIZATI ONBACKUP\BACKUP ' /D /E /c ";
//XCopyStartInfo. Arguments = "/D /c /E /-Y XCOPY " + XCopyArguments;
//
}

I took this code from another discussion and made minor modifications. Looks like it worked for everybody. Can any one help me with this. Thanks

Well if it matters, this section will never be true since you are already doing a blocking call until exiting.

//Now we need to see if the process was successful
if (ExitCode > 0 & !XCopyProcess.HasExited)
{
XCopyProcess.Kill();
XCopySuccessful = false;
}
 

What is the problem you have? are there any error messages? Are you sure it's understanding your path and everything correctly?
Try actualling looking at it's StandardOut and StandardError streams to see what messages you are being given.

Also, in general, you would usually want to make the command be "XCOPY" and not "CMD.exe", as that seems a bit redundant and could be the cause of the error.
