Copy the entire contents of a directory in C#

Question

I want to copy the entire contents of a directory from one location to another in C#.

There doesn\'t appear to be a way to do this using System.IO class

Answer 1

Or, if you want to go the hard way, add a reference to your project for Microsoft.VisualBasic and then use the following:

Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.CopyDirectory(fromDirectory, toDirectory);

However, using one of the recursive functions is a better way to go since it won't have to load the VB dll.
