It does not really exists a class that does this out of the box in .NET (as
far as I know ;-) )
However, here is a sample:
You should replace the BTException class (my custom exception class by
yours...)

public static void CopyDirectory(string sourceDirectoryName, string
targetDirectoryName)
{
try
{
// Create directory if needed
Directory.CreateDirectory(targetDirectoryName);
// Treate all the file under current source directory
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirectoryName);
foreach(string fileName in files)
File.Copy(fileName, targetDirectoryName +
Path.DirectorySeparatorChar +
Path.GetFileName(fileName),true);
// now treat all subdirectory and their related files (called this
routine recursively)
string[] directories = Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDirectoryName);
foreach(string directory in directories)
CopyDirectory(directory, targetDirectoryName +
Path.DirectorySeparatorChar +
Path.GetFileName(directory));
}
catch (BTException ex0)
{
// This is an exception thrown while recursively be called. Just throw
further
throw ex0;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw new BTException("Unable to Copy Directory " + sourceDirectoryName
+
" to " + targetDirectoryName + ". Check Path/File names. Err:
" + ex.Message,
Status.Stat.ECannotWriteFile, Severity.Level.Error);
}
