Copying Directorys

[m1la]

Hi,

I want to include a function in my program that involves my copying files from my cd drive D:/ to my hard drive C:/.

The code I'm using is below but it isn't working. The first one came up with an error, and the second one didn't come up with an error but didn't copy the files, I've searched round the internet but can't find anything.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(foundFile, destPath & foundFile, True)
Dim srcPath As String
        Dim destPath As String
        srcPath = ComboBox1.Text & "Web Browser"
        destPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles)
       My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(srcPath, destPath, True)
 
Dim srcPath As String
        Dim destPath As String
        srcPath = ComboBox1.Text & "Web Browser"
        destPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles)
        ' set the current directory to the source
        My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory = srcPath
        ' loop through the files in the directory
        For Each foundFile As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFiles _
        (My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory)
            ' strip off the directory    
            foundFile = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(foundFile, Len(foundFile) - 3)
            ' check for .bmp extension    
            If Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(foundFile, 4) = ".bmp" Then
                ' copy the file        
                My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(foundFile, destPath & foundFile, True)
            End If
        Next

The combo box allows the user to select which drive the cd is in, incase you were wondering.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Isn't working isn't much help. A LOT more detail of the problems you are having is needed.

The error for the first section of code is "IOException was unhandled" and the error was about the last line of text in the first piece of code:

"My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(srcPath, destPath, True)"

I think it's because you can only use this code to copy directorys on C:\ to C:\.

Is there a way to get around it?

The second segment of code is another piece of code I tried, it didn't come up with a error but didn't copy the files.

Is there anything else you need to know?


Thanks,
