That code works for me - the true at the end allows File.Copy to overwrite existing files.

So, it's probably a permissions, bad file path, or "file in use" problem. Check for exceptions and look at what is being returned. For example, it could be that PhotoPath already includes a trailing '\' so your source path is invalid.

Use the debugger in cases like this: we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind so we can't just give you a solution!

Solution 2

Try like this

C#

System.IO.File.Copy(Path.Combine(PhotoPath,filename), P_Path, true);
