  Hi,
  
  Do you mean you wish to move all files from a directory in one go
  
  You could use Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.MoveDirectory()
  
  but remeber to add Microsoft.VisualBasic as a refrence.
  
  Regards

  ok well you can use the System.IO.File.Move(sourceFile, DestinationFile); method to move the file from one directory to another.

  you really shouldnt be adding references from a different language/using a different language assembly. It's not recommended.

  you can move all files from a directory, by going through each file/folder and moving it/copying it. Take a look at this:

  the above link copies files and directories.

  To move directories:

   

  System.IO.Directory.Move(Source, Destination)
