copy structure of the sourcefolder to destinationfolder?

Indra R

I am working on C#.net console application in my app i have two folders
1)D:\Working Projects\Alticore\AssetXML\LIS,
2)D:\Working Projects\Alticore\AssetXMLProcessed.

I want to copy only sub-folder(i.e LIS) from D:\Working Projects\Alticore\AssetXML\LIS to D:\Working Projects\Alticore\AssetXMLProcessed.

This should exactly like this `"D:\Working Projects\Alticore\AssetXMLProcessed/LIS" and Source folder should be remain same i.e don't want to move source folder to destination folder.

Any solution to this problem I'll be appreciate.

Hope above solution helped you, also remember to do a directory already exists check before creating a new one. If already exists then you need to only copy the files, instead of overwriting entire folder.

Hi,

The idea is get all subdirectories by using below logic-:

DirectoryInfo dInfo = new DirectoryInfo();
DirectoryInfo[] subdirs = dInfo.GetDirectories();

and the create them in your desired folder by looping above subdirs -:

string folderName = @"c:\Top-Level Folder";

// To create a string that specifies the path to a subfolder under your
// top-level folder, add a name for the subfolder to folderName.
string pathString = System.IO.Path.Combine(folderName, "SubFolder");

// You can write out the path name directly instead of using the Combine
// method. Combine just makes the process easier.
string pathString2 = @"c:\Top-Level Folder\SubFolder2";

// You can extend the depth of your path if you want to.
//pathString = System.IO.Path.Combine(pathString, "SubSubFolder");

// Create the subfolder. You can verify in File Explorer that you have this
// structure in the C: drive.
// Local Disk (C:)
// Top-Level Folder
// SubFolder
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(pathString);

Hope this helps

First of all I can see a difference in the directory structure given in second paragraph. Also, your thread required more details to support you.
