C# Simplified, part 5: Error Handling and Files - Copying a file

(Page 8 of 8 )

C# enables you to copy the entire contents of a file to another file with the help of the Copy() method of the File class. In listing 5.12, the content of Hello.cs is copied to a file named Hello_new.cs located on the same drive.

Listing 5.12

using System;

using System.IO;

      class FileCopy

      {

            public static void Main()

            {

               try

               {

                 

                  File.Copy("G:\\Hello.cs", "G:\\Hello_new.cs");

                 

               }catch(Exception e)

               {

                  Console.WriteLine("Error occured " +e);

               }

            }

      }

You cannot copy a file which already exists. That’s why I have applied an exception to the above code.
