Parameters

events

A object that will be used to raise events. Cannot be .Opaque data that will be passed back to the event handler when an event is raised.if empty subfolders should be included in the copy operation.An array of objects that can be used to filter the items to be copied.

userData

options

destinationFolder

recursive

includeFolders

replaceExistingFiles

filters

If the physical folder specified by destinationFolder does not exist, it is created.

The difference between CopyItemsTo() and CopyFilesTo() is how empty sub-folders are handled. CopyItemsTo() includes empty sub-folders in the copy operation while CopyFilesTo() only includes files and files found in sub-folders in the copy operation. Unless you specifically want to copy empty folders, it is best to use CopyFilesTo().

The folder's content (files and subfolders) that matches the provided filters is immediately copied to the destination.

When replacingExistingFiles is true, any file in the destination that has the same name as a file being copied is automatically replaced.

When replacingExistingFiles is false, an exception is thrown whenever the destination contains a file with the same name as a file being copied.

To filter a list of files or folders, you can pass a variable number of objects in the filters parameter. These objects may be of the following types:

.NET: net5.0, net5.0-windows, net6.0, net6.0-macos, net6.0-windows, net7.0, net7.0-macos, net7.0-windows, net8.0, net8.0-browser, net8.0-macos, net8.0-windows, net9.0, net9.0-browser, net9.0-macos, net9.0-windows, net10.0, net10.0-browser, net10.0-macos, net10.0-windows.

.NET Standard: netstandard2.0, netstandard2.1

.NET Framework: net20, net35, net40, net403, net45, net451, net452, net46, net461, net462, net463, net47, net471, net472, net48, net481.
