I have a file cope command in my app when I use the folderBrowserDialog an select a folder it copies the file to rhe wrong dir and add the dir path to the filename i.e \gcmfg\dir testFilename, I have looked aroun and have found nothing hope some one has an idea ,code below.

String folderpath="Null";

FolderBrowserDialog folderBrowserDilog1= new FolderBrowserDialog();

If folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK()

folderpath=folerBrowserDialog1.SelectPath();

MessageBox.Show (folderpath) ; This Shows the path correctly

File.Copy ("C:\\users\gcmfg\\Downloads\\Documents\\65 Cluch Rods.jpg",folderpath+"65 Cluch rod.jpg";

It copies in dir \gcmfg\dir test65cluchrods.jpg when folder select is \gcmfg\dir test.

would appreciate any help.

Thank You

1. string sourceFile = "C:\\users\gcmfg\\Downloads\\Documents\\65 Cluch Rods.jpg"
3. string destFile = Path.Combine(folderpath, Path.GetFileName(sourceFile));
5. File.Copy(sourceFile, destFile);

You need a dir seperator missing File.Copy ("C:\\users\gcmfg\\Downloads\\Documents\\65 Cluch Rods.jpg",folderpath+"\\65 Cluch rod.jpg";

test this

string DestinationFolder= folderpath;
string destFile = @"C:\users\gcmfg\Downloads\Documents\65 Cluch Rods.jpg";
File.Copy(destFile , DestinationFolder+ Path.GetFileName(destFile));
