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" );

FileSystem = null;
