Delete File

[shapper]

Hello,

I am moving a file to a folder as follows:

Dim file As New System.IO.FileI nfo(Server.MapP ath(path))
file.MoveTo(Ser ver.MapPath(new path))

This is working but if there is already a file with the same name in
the destination folder I get an error.

I would like to replace the file if one exists.

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

Re: Delete File

I think you'd have to use file.CopyTo(new path, true) to overwrite an
existing file, and then use file.Delete() to delete the original.
