FileMove Method (String, String)

public static void Move(
	string sourceFileName,
	string destinationFileName
)

Public Shared Sub Move ( 
	sourceFileName As String,
	destinationFileName As String
)

public:
static void Move(
	String^ sourceFileName, 
	String^ destinationFileName
)

static member Move : 
        sourceFileName : string * 
        destinationFileName : string -> unit 

Parameters

sourceFileName

Type: SystemString
The name of the file to move.

destinationFileName

Type: SystemString
The new path for the file.

This method works across disk volumes, and it does not throw an exception if the source and destination are the same.

Note that if you attempt to replace a file by moving a file of the same name into that directory, you get an IOException.

You cannot use the Move method to overwrite an existing file.

Whenever possible, avoid using short file names (such as XXXXXX~1.XXX) with this method.

If two files have equivalent short file names then this method may fail and raise an exception and/or result in undesirable behavior.
