Hi,

I want to copy a complete folder from the Pocket PC to PC.
The connection between the Pocket PC and the stand-alone Pc is via RAS.

Up to now, I use to try the system.io.file.copy(x,y) function. For a only FILE is this alright, but if i want the complete Files of the folder.

For example:

Folder:
my Documents
Files init: ikoiko.txt, kali.txt, ....

I want to do: file.copy("\my documents\*.*", "\\demo\*.*")
Which function can do that ?

My Codelanguage are vb.net,
PPC: Pocket Pc 2003 mobile Edt,

Thanky alto and maybe anybody can help me.

regards

André
 
You can use System.IO.Directory.GetFiles to return an array of filenames in
a specific folder. Then for each of these perform a file copy.

Since you don't tell on which line the code fails and what is the error
message, I can only guess that the problem is in this:
dest = "\\pc010\mda\" + fi.FullName()

fi.FullName() returns a path like \Windows\tada.wav, hence you can't use it
in this context. Use instead:
dest = "\\pc010\mda\" + fi.Name

Note that this is insufficient if you have nested subdirectories - you will
need to rewrite your code to handle that recursively
Also, not every file can be copied off the device - files in ROM generally
cannot be copied

Hi @all,

now, already is fine.
I 've found the mistake.

Dim FileFolder As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("\pictures")

fails. The constructor could not found the Order.

I 'm very happy.

Mostly thanks for your helps.
