    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As AbstractFile
    Dim destinationFile As AbstractFile
    Dim replaceIfExists As Boolean
    Dim value As FileSystemItem
     
    value = instance.CopyTo(destinationFile, replaceIfExists)

    Parameters

    destinationFile
    An AbstractFile object that represents the file to which the current file's data must be copied. Cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
    replaceIfExists
    true if the destination file should be replaced if it exists; false otherwise.

    Return Value

    A reference to a FileSystemItem object that represents the destination file.
    Remarks

    This method only copies the data of a file to another file.

    If the file specified by destinationFile does not exist, it is created. If it does exist, an exception is thrown if replaceIfExists is false, or it is overwritten if replaceIfExists is true.

    FileSystemItem.ApplyPropertiesTo is called on the destination item; therefore, the attributes and dates of the original item are applied to the destination item.
