code and its description

When we try to copy a file using File.Move method it is required that the destination should exist. If it doesn't, then DirectoryNotFoundException is thrown. You can overcome this problem using filesystem object as follows:




            FileSystemProxy FileSystem = new Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Computer().FileSystem;
            FileSystem.MoveFile(@"C:\myfolder\myFile.txt",@"D:\yourFoldr" );
