“Move will not work across volumes” - Why? And how to overcome?

Question

Why is it that File.Move(sourceFileName, destFileName) works fine when the source file and destination files are in different partitions, but Directory.Mo

Answer 1

I had same problem in VB.NET and instead of "Directory.Move" I used MoveFolder with "FileSystemObject". You can preserve creation dates with this method.

Scripting.FileSystemObject oFSO = new Scripting.FileSystemObject();
oFSO.MoveFolder(sourceDirName, destDirName)
