Now I have a folder in my project I would like to copy to an optional location. How do I set the "Folder from" const to a location inside my project and how can I set an optional location to copy the folder to at runtime?
Try to understand:
1. User Downloads Application
2. User copies files to either desktop or my documents (lets say desktop)
3. User Opens application
4. User clicks the copy button (which is then supported by the COPY code)
The problem is that the copy code supports a Location such as; FileCopy C:UsersAdminFile.txt, E:File.txt
When the user copies the Files to desktop (lets say DIM), they have a different username so if they click Copy the copy code was set for C:UsersAdmin not DIM. I would like the code to be general so whoever copies the files wherever (Desktop, C:, Documents) and they click the copy button, the file is then copied to the Disignated Location.
I've been working on some code to rename files and have being doing so by copying them to the same location under a different name and then removing the original. When I do this for files I use the code ...
Dim file As New System.IO.FileInfo(lstFiles.SelectedItem.ToString)
Dim strNewFile As String
Dim strRename As String
Dim strMask As String = ""
[code]....
This will obviously not work as it will try to copy the folder into itself which is not allowed.
I saw a post from 3 years ago (copy folder content to other location) that looked like the "state of the art" way to copy a folder was to just copy all the files recursively. Has vb.net 2008 introduced a function to do this? I still dont see a System.IO.Directory.Copy...

Does anyone know how to copy a control (button, panel etc...) and place the control with the same click event on another part of a form while keeping the original in the same location? I have a custom user control that I created that has special features on click. If I have the control on the left side and want to drag it over to the right side I want the control duplicated, as this control can be duplicated unlimited times, and still have the same click event.

I'm developing an application which relies on several files to be copied over to a specific location on the users hard drive ("C: est") when they run the program for the first time, and am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to account for the fact that the original location may be in a different location for each user.
Any ideas for either getting the path where the files would be and then copying them to the desired destination?
What I am trying to figure out is a way to copy a file and paste it in another location. So that there will be the original file in the user set location, and then a duplicate of that file in, say, the "Program Files" folder. I would also need some way to check if the file exists to, so that it doesn't keep creating a new file each time the program starts up.
to sum it up: I need to be able to copy a file to a predetermined location and check if the file exists, and if it doesn't, it will copy the file over to the location.

I'm using System.Management.ManagementScope to connect to a remote computer and install an MSI package. This works great if the MSI is located on the remote computer, but it fails if I try to use a network location to run the MSI from. The UNC path is correct because if I manually type it from the remote computer it runs fine. There must be a limitation (security I'm thinking) that prevents things from running via WMI if the exe isn't local to the remote machine.My last hope will be to copy the MSI from the network location, store it locally on the remote computer, then run it - but I'd really rather not have to do that.

How can I search the local disk for a file type and copy the full path to a new location. I am trying to write a backup program that will copy all pst files to the server while maitaining the structure, so if there is a pst located in "C:pstuserpersonal1.pst" it would create the folder "\serverpstuserpersonal1.pst" and copy the file to the correct location. I would need it to do this for each pst on the hard drive no matter the location. The user running the program will not have admin rights, so it will need to skip files it cannot access.
