[RESOLVED] Moving Files Problem

[Bill Crawley]

Hi ALL,

I'm using C#4.0

When I try to run the following :

File.Move(@file, @ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CompletedFolder"]);

I receive the error:

Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

However the files do not exist in the destination folder.

Any ideas?

Assuming you have double checked everything I would hazard a guess that the command expects a full path for the destination (or perhaps a destination terminated with a backslash). I think it is currently interpreting the destination folder as the new name for the file.

Yes, You are right, it wasn't enough for me to just give a destination folder. I needed to give it the name of the file as well.......

foreach (string @file in workLockton)
                    {
                        String[] fileName = file.Split('\\');

                        File.Move(@file, @ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CompletedFolder"] + "\\" + fileName.Last());
                    }
