Next thing to look at is the System.IO.FileInfo class. Below uses this to extract the filename from the path. // extract filename from path System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(TextBox1.Text); string filename = fi.Name; // create destination filename by combining path and name string yourdestination = yourdestinationpath + fi.Name; // copy System.IO.File.Copy(TextBox1.Text, yourdestination); Note: make sure that yourdestinationpath ends with a path separator ('\' in windows). Note: Both this and the previous post are not tested :-)

private void button2_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { System.IO. FileInfo fi = new System.IO. FileInfo (textBox1.Text); string filename = fi.Name; string yourdestination = @"C:\Users
ab\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\proj" + fi.Name; System.IO. File .Copy(textBox1.Text, @"C:\Users
ab\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\proj" ); my path exist :( }

Your destination path does not exist ;-) Time to show the declaration of the destination path and how you assign a value to it.

Look at the OpenFileDialog; something like OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog(); openFileDialog1.InitialDirectory = "c:\" ; openFileDialog1.Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*" ; openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2 ; openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true ; if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { TextBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName; } For the copying, look at System.IO.File.Copy. e.g. System.IO.File.Copy(TextBox1.Text, yourdestination);
