When you enter "C#" as the syntax language it strips the pound sign and you end up with C. You have to write it as "csharp".

There seems to be an error, you use filearray like a string when it should be used as an array. and your for loop does the same thing over and over again, it should be

string[] fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(sourcePath);
            string fileName = null;
            for (int i = 0; i < fileArray.Length; i++)
            {
                fileName = Path.GetFileName(fileArray[i]);
                File.Copy(fileArray[i], destinationPath + "\\" + destinationFolder + "\\" + fileName, true);
            }

even then you are creating and assigning an unnecessary variable. should simply be.

string[] fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(sourcePath);
            for (int i = 0; i < fileArray.Length; i++)
            {
                File.Copy(fileArray[i], destinationPath + "\\" + destinationFolder + "\\" + Path.GetFileName(fileArray[i]), true);
            }

Furthermore, another way would be to use the FileInfo class for copying files. Regardless, Thanks for sharing.

string filename;
            string dpath = @"D:\TNP Project\TnP\Resources\";
            if (openFileDialog1.FileName != "")
            {
                
                filename = openFileDialog1.SafeFileName;
                File.Copy(openFileDialog1.FileName.ToString(), dpath + filename);
            }

This is sufficient for copying file from one location to another
