How to fix the copy file problem in C#

photo © 1918 National Library of Scotland | more info (via: Wylio)The Problem: You need to copy a file from one location on the server to another and cannot remember how.

The Cause: It is too short and simple, and easily forgotten

The Solution: Just use the following code:

public static void CopyAndRenameFile(string OldPath, string OldFileName, string NewPath, string NewFileName)
    {
        if (File.Exists(OldPath + OldFileName))
        {
            File.Copy(OldPath + OldFileName, NewPath + NewFileName, true);
        }
    }

That’s it!
