The file to copy.
- destFileName
Type: System. . :: . .String
The name of the destination file. This cannot be a directory or an existing file.
Remarks
This method is equivalent to the Copy(String, String, Boolean) method overload with the overwrite parameter set to false.
The sourceFileName and destFileName parameters can specify relative or absolute path information. Relative path information is interpreted as relative to the current working directory. To obtain the current working directory, see the Directory..::..GetCurrentDirectory method.
