Copy a directory to a different drive

How do I copy a directory to a different drive开发者_JAVA百科 in C#?

You can use this code to perform your operation:

public static  void CopyAll(DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo target)
{
    // Check if the target directory exists, if not, create it.
    if (Directory.Exists(target.FullName) == false)
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(target.FullName);
    }

    // Copy each file into it’s new directory.
    foreach (FileInfo fi in source.GetFiles())
    {
        Console.WriteLine(@”Copying {0}\{1}”, target.FullName, fi.Name);
        fi.CopyTo(Path.Combine(target.ToString(), fi.Name), true);
    }

    // Copy each subdirectory using recursion.
    foreach (DirectoryInfo diSourceSubDir in source.GetDirectories())
    {
        DirectoryInfo nextTargetSubDir =
            target.CreateSubdirectory(diSourceSubDir.Name);
        CopyAll(diSourceSubDir, nextTargetSubDir);
    }
}

below one is also good:

    static public void CopyFolder( string sourceFolder, string destFolder )
    {
        if (!Directory.Exists( destFolder ))
            Directory.CreateDirectory( destFolder );
        string[] files = Directory.GetFiles( sourceFolder );
        foreach (string file in files)
        {
            string name = Path.GetFileName( file );
            string dest = Path.Combine( destFolder, name );
            File.Copy( file, dest );
        }
        string[] folders = Directory.GetDirectories( sourceFolder );
        foreach (string folder in folders)
        {
           string name = Path.GetFileName( folder );
           string dest = Path.Combine( destFolder, name );
            CopyFolder( folder, dest );
        }
    }

you can use this function also:

FileSystem.CopyDirectory(sourceDir, destDir);

FileSystem.CopyDirectory(sourceDir, destDir);

FileSystem.CopyDirectory is in a VB namespace and assembly, but that probably doesn't matter.

C# Copy Folder Recursively
http://www.csharp411.com/c-copy-folder-recursively/

Here's an extension that will work in .NET 4.0+

var source = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Test");
var destination = new DirectoryInfo(@"E:\Test");
source.CopyTo(destination);

Include this file in your project

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;

namespace System.IO
{
  public static class DirectoryInfoExtensions
  {
    public static void CopyTo(this DirectoryInfo source, DirectoryInfo target)
    {
      if (!target.Exists)
        target.Create();

      foreach (var file in source.GetFiles())
        file.CopyTo(Path.Combine(target.FullName, file.Name), true);

      foreach (var subdir in source.GetDirectories())
        subdir.CopyTo(target.CreateSubdirectory(subdir.Name));
    }
  }
}

    private String path;
    public int copyAllContents(String destinationFolder, ProgressBar progressBar)
    {
        int countCopyFiles = 0;
        if (!Directory.Exists(destinationFolder))
        { Directory.CreateDirectory(destinationFolder); }
        String[] allFilesForCurrentFolder = Directory.GetFiles(path, "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
        String[] subFoldersAllpath = Directory.GetDirectories(path);
        for (int i = 0; i < allFilesForCurrentFolder.Length; i++)
        {
            try { File.Copy(allFilesForCurrentFolder[i], destinationFolder + "\\" + Path.GetFileName(allFilesForCurrentFolder[i])); countCopyFiles++; progressBar.Value++; }
            catch (Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString()); }
        }
        if (subFoldersAllpath.Length == 0)
        { return allFilesForCurrentFolder.Length; };
        for (int i = 0; i < subFoldersAllpath.Length; i++)
        {
            this.path = subFoldersAllpath[i];
            String[] subFoldersAllpathLastFolder = subFoldersAllpath[i].Split('\\');
            countCopyFiles += this.copyAllContents(destinationFolder + "\\" + subFoldersAllpathLastFolder[subFoldersAllpathLastFolder.Length - 1], progressBar);
        }
        return countCopyFiles;
    }

Here's an approach that copies a directory recursively as an async function:

public static async Task CopyDirectoryAsync(string sourceDirectory, string destinationDirectory)
{
    if (!Directory.Exists(destinationDirectory))
        Directory.CreateDirectory(destinationDirectory);

    foreach (var file in Directory.GetFiles(sourceDirectory))
    {
        var name = Path.GetFileName(file);
        var dest = Path.Combine(destinationDirectory, name);
        await CopyFileAsync(file, dest);
    }

    foreach (var subdir in Directory.GetDirectories(sourceDirectory))
    {
        var name = Path.GetFileName(subdir);
        var dest = Path.Combine(destinationDirectory, name);
        await CopyDirectoryAsync(subdir, dest);
    }
}

public static async Task CopyFileAsync(string sourceFile, string destinationFile)
{
    using (var sourceStream = new FileStream(sourceFile, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read, 4096, FileOptions.Asynchronous | FileOptions.SequentialScan))
    using (var destinationStream = new FileStream(destinationFile, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None, 4096, FileOptions.Asynchronous | FileOptions.SequentialScan))
        await sourceStream.CopyToAsync(destinationStream);
}
