File.Move Does Not Work - File Already Exists

Question

I\'ve got a folder:

c:\\test

I\'m trying this code:

File.Move(@\"c:\\test\\SomeFile.txt\", @\"c:\\test\\Test\");         


        

Answer 1

Personally I prefer this method. This will overwrite the file on the destination, removes the source file and also prevent removing the source file when the copy fails.

string source = @"c:\test\SomeFile.txt";
string destination = @"c:\test\test\SomeFile.txt";

try
{
    File.Copy(source, destination, true);
    File.Delete(source);
}
catch
{
    //some error handling
}
