Hi,
You can all files of sub folder like this

string path = @"C:\Test";
DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(path);
var files = dinfo.EnumerateFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
//var files = dinfo.GetFiles("*");
List fileDatas = new List();
foreach (var fileInfo in files)
{
var filePath = fileInfo.FullName;
//DateTime dt;
//using (var textFile = File.OpenText(filePath))
//{
// dt = GetDateValue(textFile.ReadLine(), fileInfo.Name);
//}
//var fileData = new FileData { FileName = fileInfo.Name, FilePath = filePath, FileModifiedDate = dt };
//fileDatas.Add(fileData);
}

I put those, so that you may incorporate this for your earlier requirement. Otherwise you can remove it. I believe you want the same as you asked on Friday.

hi,

need more clarity in your question..

you have mentioned that multiple sub folders contains file with same name..

but i don't think you can copy all of them together into a single folder because only a unique file name(with same extension) can exist in a folder.. either it will be overwritten or it will throw error..
