Copy file and then rename file

I tried doing it a different way but it didn't work, I don't understand why I'm having so much trouble with this I have been able to work out how to do other stuff :(

I don't get what it means here in the msdn definition for copy.move,

I have tried doing

string path = selectedFile;
string path2 = path + "temp"

what is the code actually doing here? Am I missing something? All I want the code to do is copy a file to another folder called something like copiedfiles and then allow the user to rename the copied file.

string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
        string path2 = path + "temp";

        try
        {
            // Create the file and clean up handles.
            using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path)) {}

            // Ensure that the target does not exist.
            File.Delete(path2);

            // Copy the file.
            File.Copy(path, path2);
            Console.WriteLine("{0} copied to {1}", path, path2);

            // Try to copy the same file again, which should succeed.
            File.Copy(path, path2, true);
            Console.WriteLine("The second Copy operation succeeded, which was expected.");
        }

        catch
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Double copy is not allowed, which was not expected.");
        }

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. I copied and pasted the parts of the code to fit in with my program but get this error:

On this line when I click the Open button,

string[] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(this.folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath);

how can I change this to specify a location such as G:\ ?

Thanks it looks like you know your stuff, but that seems more difficult to do for some reason. I think I'll try and do it the way I was trying to do before.

I have the following code:

A button to get the files from the specified location and put them in the list box called filesListBox

DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo(FilePath);

this.filesListBox.Items.Clear();

this.button1.Enabled = false;



From this point, how can I?

Step 1) Allow the user to select a file in the filesListBox, click a button called copy which copies the file to a directory

Step 2) Once the file has been copied, the copied file name is displayed in a box which the user can use to rename the file, when they press update file name button it changes the file name to the name they entered

Step 3) The user clicks a button and the newly copied and renamed file is sent to a directory

Can you help with this?

private void btnOpen_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.lbFiles.Items.Clear();
            if (this.folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                string[] fileEntries = Directory.GetFiles(this.folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath);

                this.lbFiles.Items.AddRange(fileEntries);
            }
        }

        private void btnCopy_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string selectedFile = this.lbFiles.SelectedItem.ToString();
            FileStream fin = new FileStream(selectedFile,FileMode.Open);

            if(this.saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                FileStream fout = new FileStream(this.saveFileDialog1.FileName, FileMode.Create);
                try
                {
                    int i;
                    do
                    {
                        i = fin.ReadByte();
                        if (i != -1) fout.WriteByte((byte)i);
                    } while (i != -1);

                    fout.Close();
                }
                catch (IOException exc)
                {
                } 
            }
            fin.Close();
        }

Thats a good idea! :-) But I don't know how to do that, I could probably find out how to do the save dialot part but the reason I am asking in this forum is because I have tried a few times to get this to work but can't, and was hoping someone could provide me with some code?
