I was wondering if anyone knew how to move some files across volumes. I made a program that will allow for 3 simple clicks to transfer all of my camera's pictures to my computer, and I get an error saying that I can't go across volumes (transfer from the F: drive to the C: drive). I'm using the system.IO and the command directory.move. Is there any other way?

You should investigate the My.Computer.FileSystem.MoveFile method.

Hmm, can't seem to find out any info in the mdsn library. I've found it for visual basic, but not for visual c#. Can you elaborate on where to find it?

Well, VB.Net and C# for .Net are both using the same libraries, so...

Yes, vb and c#, but vc# and c# don't seem to use the same libraries... I'm realy having problems with this, and I can't find anything. Searched the vc# library over 20 times, and there's nothing but the Directory.Move that I have come across. Is there anyway to bypass the error somehow?

"Visual C#" is just another way of saying "C# with Microsoft's libraries".

There was no C# prior to Microsoft's obsession with the word "visual".

Thinking
There's a C# and a VC#? Isn't C# a Microsoft-only language, hence being known as VC#? Or am I just confused?

Microsoft is not the only company using C#. Research "Mono" for more information. Smile
