The static method File.Copy(String, String)
doesn't return a value. How can I know programatically if that function succeeded or not ? If there is no thrown exception, File.Copy
goes well. But I am asking about how to put "no exception" as a condition.
Something like this:
if(no exception happened){
//my code goes here
}
Edit: I have solved the problem using a simple counter as following:
int i=0;
try{
File.Copy();
}
catch(e1){
i++;
}
catch(e2){
i++;
}
if(i==0){
//my code goes here
}
Thanks for all contributors. I will go through your answers to choose the best.
If the operation doesn't throw any exception, it means that it was successful. The list of the possible exceptions is available here :
- The caller does not have the required permission.

- sourceFileName or destFileName is null.
- The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters.
- The path specified in sourceFileName or destFileName is invalid (for example, it is on an unmapped drive).
