将ListView中选择的文件复制/移动到通过FolderBrowserDialog选择的文件夹失败

Question

help is really needed) In listView2 there is a list of files which, by clicking on button5, should be copied / moved to the folder selected in FolderBrowserDialog.

Here is what it is:

private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {
        foreach (ListViewItem item in listView2.SelectedItems)
        {
            if (!File.Exists(Path.GetFullPath(item.Text)))
                return;
            File.Copy(Path.GetFullPath(item.Text), 
                Path.Combine(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath, Path.GetFileName(item.Text)),
                true);
        }
    }
}

the problem is that the files are not copied to the folder

Answer 1

It seems you are giving the wrong path to your instructions because you are manipulating wrong type of paths. There are two types of path :

• Absolute path : full path to the file, containing drive and all folders to it, pros are you can access the same path from EVERYWHERE
• Relative path : path relative to the executable, if exe is located in "C:/Temp", you can access "C:/Temp/foo/bar" by using a relative path like "foo/bar" and it will work since you are in "C:/Temp"

---

In your case, you choose a directory from FolderBrowserDialog which will return an absolute path like :

folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = "C:/users/myname/mydir"

Then you will iterate through your list which should contain absolute path of your files.

Working with absolute paths, you don't need to combine any path, just use them

foreach (ListViewItem item in listView2.SelectedItems)
{
    if (!File.Exists())
        return;

    File.Copy(item.Text, folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath, true);
}
