    In This Topic
    Copies the item to another folder.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overloads Function CopyTo( _
       ByVal destinationFolder As AbstractFolder, _
       ByVal replaceExistingFiles As Boolean _
    ) As FileSystemItem
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As FileSystemItem
    Dim destinationFolder As AbstractFolder
    Dim replaceExistingFiles As Boolean
    Dim value As FileSystemItem
     
    value = instance.CopyTo(destinationFolder, replaceExistingFiles)

    Parameters

    destinationFolder
    An AbstractFolder object into which the item will be copied. Cannot be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
    replaceExistingFiles
    true if existing items in the destination should be replaced; false otherwise.

    Return Value

    A FileSystemItem object that represents the newly copied item.
    Remarks

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

    If this FileSystemItem object represents a file, the physical file is immediately copied to the destination folder.

    If it represents a folder, the folder and all it's content (files and subfolders) is immediately copied to the destination.

    When replaceExistingFiles is true, any item in the destination that has the same name as an item being copied is automatically replaced.

    When replaceExistingFiles is false, an exception is thrown whenever the destination contains an item with the same name as an item being copied.

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