Moving all files in a directory vb.net

[smreid]

Hi,

I am a newbie to vb and am having a few problems with a simple application I am writing. The application shows some radio buttons on a form and creates a directory based on the the selected buttons. What I want to do next is move files from one directory into the created directory. I do not know the filenames or the amount of files in the directory.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

/// <summary>
/// Moves the path dir to the destination dir.  For the destination dir you must include a new folder name. 
/// You cannot just move to an existing folder.  Returns true if successful.  Another thing to remember is that
/// if a folder is empty it will not create it in the destination if the destination is another drive. For errors,
/// it produces a log called DeleteDirLog. You test to see if it has any errors by if its length is greater than
/// the static variable accessError. Ex: if(DeleteDirLog.Length > accessError.Length). Note, that log is the log
/// that is produced by DeleteDir() because this method uses it. So, it is only for files that werent deleted.

			{
				string[]Fs= Directory.GetFileSystemEntries(sourceDir);
				foreach(string x in Fs)
				{
					if(!Directory.Exists(destination))  Directory.CreateDirectory(destination);
					if(Directory.Exists(x))

C# is almost just like vb.net and there are C# to VB translators on the net you can use to get the VB.net equiv of that code.
