I want to copy all files in one directory to another directory

[Frank]

I'm using VB .NET and I'm finding that CopyTo will not help me copy all the
files in one directory to antoher directory at one time. Which command (if
that's the word) do I use to copy ALL the files at one to another directory?

Thanks (Novice)

'fromDir is the source folder and toDir is dest folder

Dim f() As String = Directory.GetFiles(fromDir)
For i As Integer = 0 To UBound(f)
File.copy(f(i), toDir & "\" & fileNameWithoutThePath(f(i)))
Next

'********************
Public Function fileNameWithoutThePath(ByVal b As String) As String
Dim j As Int16

j = Convert.ToInt16(b.LastIndexOf("\"))
Return b.Substring(j + 1)

End Function

Easier to use System.IO.Path.GetFileName(), which does the same thing
without requiring you to implement it yourself.
