c# - How to move image files from one folder to another -

i looking way move file 1 directory using c#. have forms application have user select file using file chooser , upon clicking "set background" button have file transferred location specified within application.

upon trying answer provided @vulgarbinary getting following exception:

system.io.ioexception: cannot create file when file exists. 

you need ensure program has appropriate permissions write files but:

if (file.exists(sourcepath)) {    file.move(sourcepath, destinationpath); } 

this should work wanting do.

example:

var sourcepath = "c:\users\someuser\pictures\vulgarbinary.jpg"; var destinationpath = "c:\whatever\path\you\want\vulgarbinary.jpg";

given comments below answer running problem file creating exists. if replace can simple do:

if (file.exists(sourcepath)) {    if(file.exists(destinationpath))       file.delete(destinationpath);    file.move(sourcepath, destinationpath); } 

if don't care output file's name , want write can like:

var outputdirectory = "c:\\whatever\\path\\you\\want\\";  if (file.exists(sourcepath)) {    file.move(sourcepath, outputdirectory + guid.newguid().tostring() + ".jpg"); } 

the latter copy file (all-be-it different name). first solution replace file same name new file.

cheers!
