Hi,
        You can all files of sub folder like this

string path = @"C:\Test";

DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(path);

var files = dinfo.EnumerateFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

//var files = dinfo.GetFiles("*");

List<FileData> fileDatas = new List<FileData>();

foreach (var fileInfo in files)

{

                var filePath = fileInfo.FullName;

                //DateTime dt;

                //using (var textFile = File.OpenText(filePath))

                //{

                //    dt = GetDateValue(textFile.ReadLine(), fileInfo.Name);

                //}

                //var fileData = new FileData { FileName = fileInfo.Name, FilePath = filePath, FileModifiedDate = dt };

                //fileDatas.Add(fileData);

}

I put those, so that you may incorporate this for your earlier requirement. Otherwise you can remove it. I believe you want the same as you asked on Friday.

Yes they have different extention but with same name.

Answer 5

hi,

need more clarity in your question..

you have mentioned that multiple sub folders contains file with same name..

but i don't think you can copy all of them together into a single folder because only a unique file name(with same extension) can exist in a folder.. either it will be overwritten or it will throw error..
