How to move the text file or Notepad file or.txt file in VB.NET or C# windows forms

Hi Friends, in this article I will explain about how to move the text file or Notepad file or.txt file in VB.NET or C# windows forms.
I already explained in the previous article How to Create, Read, Write, Copy, Move and Delete a Text File or notepad file using C# and VB.NET

                           For moving the text file we have to using or imports the System.IO namespace. Because the all file classes and methods are located in System.IO namespace. We use the System.IO.File.Move() method to move the text file.

Let we know how to move the text file with the below example.

VB.NET Code:

Imports System.IO Imports System.Text Public Class Form2     Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load         Dim FileToMove As String         Dim MoveFileLocation As String         FileToMove = "C:\temp\filetomove.txt"         MoveFileLocation = "C:\temp\Move\filename.txt"         If System.IO.File.Exists(FileToMove) = True Then             System.IO.File.Move(FileToMove, MoveFileLocation)             MessageBox.Show("File Moved Successfully")         End If     End Sub End Class

C# Code:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic; using System; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data; using System.Diagnostics; using System.IO; using System.Text; Public Class Form2 {      private void Form2_Load(System.Object sender, System.EventArgs e)      {           string FileToMove = null;           string MoveFileLocation = null;           FileToMove = "C:\temp\filetomove.txt";           MoveFileLocation = "C:\temp\Move\filename.txt";           if (System.IO.File.Exists(FileToMove) == true) {               System.IO.File.Move(FileToMove, MoveFileLocation);               MessageBox.Show("File Moved Successfully");           }      }     Public Form2()      {           Load += Form2_Load;      } }

                          When we execute the above code the file filetomove.txt located in the temp folder will move to the move folder as filename.txt. If the move folder does not exists then the file will not moved and will arise the 'System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException’  error.
