How to Move files into trashbox?

[Jianren Lu]

Dear all,
Could you please tell me how to move files into trashbox?
FileInfo.Delete () will delete files completely. But I want to get
files back if necessary. I searched document of .net framework 1.1,
but it seems like no such information.

Jianren,

You will have to use the SHFileOperation function through the P/Invoke
layer. You will need to define the SHFILEOPSTRUCT structure. Once you do
that, you can create an instance, and set the wFunc field to FO_DELETE and
the fFlags field to FOF_ALLOWUNDO. The pFrom field should be set to the
name of the file to delete.

For a VB example, check out knowledge base article 154005, located at
(watch for line wrap):

If you need help converting the code for use in C#, let us know.

Hope this helps.

I am a newbie to C#, and I don't know VB, so if possible, could you
