Hi all
I would just like to know how can I copy a file to a specified folder and the user chooses the file say via a openfiledialog. Now I cant specify a file because the folder is empty so I cant make use of the File.Copy method but there can be a vast amount of files copied to the folder. But not at once though. I have been busy searching the internet a while now and still I cant get something that tells me how to do it. Any help would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Weppies

I'm not quite sure what your asking. Why can't you use File.Copy()?
You can select a file from a dialog using OpenFileDialog object, this will give you the file selected, having paths and file name then it's just a matter of copy...
You could use a function to copy like this:

public bool CopyFileTo(string filepath, string topath)
    {
        try
        {
            File.Copy(filepath, topath);
            return true;
        }
        catch (IOException ioe)
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
