FileMove Method (String, String, MoveOptions, CopyMoveProgressRoutine, Object, PathFormat)

[AlphaFS] Moves a specified file to a new location, providing the option to specify a new file name.

Return Value

Type: CopyMoveResult
A CopyMoveResult class with the status of the Move action.
Remarks

This method works across disk volumes.

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.
