Is there an easy way to copies all files in a directory into another
directory?
What about coping subdirectories too?

Thanks in advance for any info

You mean like XCOPY?

Open VS Help and search on File Class.

And you asked an easy way and the answer was XCOPY. Did you try it?

(You did not ask for the most controlled way)

I've used the File class before but never to copy an entire folder contents.

Just looked again and do not see a method for copying entire folder.
Am I missing something or are you suggesting I use the Copy method to copy
the files one at a time?
Thanks

PS

I'm presently using the FileSystem's FileCopy method to copy them one at a
time and am wondering if there is a better way.

Yes, I've used XCOPY since DOS.

Yes, I've used XCOPY since DOS. And always liked it.

What is the most controlled way to copies all files in a directory into
another directory?

Thanks for the implied suggestion.

Great on two accounts:
1) Answers my question: No there isn't an easy way!
2) Gives me a general solution that I can use.

Thanks a lot

Attached is some code that copies one directory to another recursively so
as
to include subfolders. Hopefully it will get you started.

Than why not try it. It is not nice as I wrote and withouth any control,
however it goes and easy. You can hide the Dos window if you want.

\\\
Dim p As New Process
p.StartInfo.Arg uments = "C:\Test1 C:\TestA\"
p.StartInfo.Fil eName = "xcopy"
p.Start()
///

I hope this helps,

You got from Bill and easy solution 7 minutes after that you placed your
question here.

The way you replied on that did him probably not give you any more
information.

I asked again why it did not fit, and got a same kind as answer as you gave
to Bill.

In my opinion not the best way to get some help in a newsgroup.
However feel free to continue that.

By the way the message I have sent with the complete Xcopy code was before I
had read you message I am answering now.
