Hi
I'm looking to migrate a set of files named in a single format to a location in another drive.

For eg., if I have a set of images, named in a format that contains name and date like:NAME_DDMMYY in a D:// and I want to migrate them to E://., how can I do that?

I would like to use C# with .net framework 4.0.

Well you would write some code that creates a list of filenames in your format and then "migrate" them to your E drive. Perhaps something in the System.IO namespace could help you out with this....

The same question is asked many time in codeproject itself.

Belowing Code Will Help you............

VB
Private Sub btnBackup_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnBackup.Click
          Dim sourcepath As String = "C:\temp\test\1.txt"
    Dim DestPath As String = "D:\Data\"
    CopyDirectory(sourcepath, DestPath)

End Sub

Private Shared Sub CopyDirectory(sourcePath As String, destPath As String)
    If Not Directory.Exists(destPath) Then
        Directory.CreateDirectory(destPath)
    End If

    For Each file__1 As String In Directory.GetFiles(sourcePath)
        Dim dest As String = Path.Combine(destPath, Path.GetFileName(file__1))
        File.Copy(file__1, dest)
    Next

    For Each folder As String In Directory.GetDirectories(sourcePath)
        Dim dest As String = Path.Combine(destPath, Path.GetFileName(folder))
        CopyDirectory(folder, dest)
    Next
End Sub

C#
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"Z:\", "*.bak");foreach (string file in files)
{
File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(@"E:\", Path.GetFileName(file)) , true);
}

Hope this helps you.

Try this code.

C#
public class SimpleFileCopy
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string fileName = "test.txt";
        string sourcePath = @"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder";
        string targetPath =  @"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\SubDir";

        string sourceFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(sourcePath, fileName);
        string destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);

        if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(targetPath))
        {
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(targetPath);
        }

        // To copy a file to another location and
        // overwrite the destination file if it already exists.
        System.IO.File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile, true);

        // To move a file or folder to a new location:
        System.IO.File.Move(sourceFile, destinationFile);

        if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(sourcePath))
        {
            string[] files = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(sourcePath);

            foreach (string s in files)
            {
                fileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(s);
                destFile = System.IO.Path.Combine(targetPath, fileName);
                System.IO.File.Copy(s, destFile, true);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Source path does not exist!");
        }
    }
