Dim dlg as New OpenFileDialog if dlg.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Ok then System.IO.File.Copy(dlg.FileName, "C:\a.txt") EndIf Yah, this will create a text file in C:\...but what if the user chooses other types of files? (.exe, .pdf) I tried choosing an .exe file, but it creates a .txt file, using notepad to read the .exe file. :( Dim dlg as New OpenFileDialog if dlg.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Ok then System.IO.File.Copy(dlg.FileName, "C:\" + dlg.FileName) EndIf I tried this, but it gives an error indicating "The given path's format is not supported".

Do you mean you want do copy file dynamically, where the user can choose which file to be copied and where? :confused: If the file you want to copy is .exe then the destination file must also .exe so

Ahh i guess my first post was horribly phased ;P Anyway yah, users can choose from the dialog box which files to be copied, but the location where the files are copied to is fixed. With "Files", i mean any types of files.. e.g. User chooses Example.txt from C:\, and it is copied to D:\.So now there's C:\Example.txt and D:\Example.txt. The 1st question here is that i don't know how to do it.

The following code will handle copying of any file extension.
Dim FileDialog As New OpenFileDialog 'FileInfo class has Dim myFile as System.IO.FileInfo With FileDialog if .ShowDialog() = DialogResults.Ok then 'create FileInfo instance where .Filename is the fullpath of source 'file. For example: C:\Example.txt myFile = new System.IO.FileInfo(.Filename) 'FileInfo.Name property indicates the file name 'For example: If the source file is C:\Example.txt than the FileInfo.Name 'property is Example.txt myFile.CopyTo("D:\" & myFile.Name, false) 'syntax: FileInfo.CopyTo(destfilename as String, forceoverwrite as Boolean) End If End WithI hope this makes sense :-D A.S.
