Moving it in C#

Hey, Just thought I would show you all how to move a file in C#. As I'm sure you can imagine, this can be used for many different things. You could use it for malware, or even legitimate reasons.

I'm sure someone here can come up with something!

Probably, a lot of what is posted on this forum can be found by a simple Google search. However, I would think me being here to help as well as posting a simplified way of doing it (compared to MSDN), would make it a bit easier on beginners.

Thanks for the comment. 👍

I doubt 90% of the people on this forum even know that MSDN even exists.

This is not a tutorial. Nothing is explain here.

This is not a tutoria. Nothing is explain here.

It is not a step by step tutorial, however, it does show you how to do something.

So, maybe consider it a "guide" on how to move a file.

Also, thanks for the positive comment Mr. Anderson.

No, it's not a guide, it's a snippet.

No, it's not a guide, it's a snippet.

Okay, a snippet then.

Why does it matter?

Well, if someone wants to see a tutorial for moving a file, he expects the real tutorial with explanations. 🙂

Well, that makes sense. However, I never specified that it was a tutorial in the OP :D

I'm going to add in that it is just a snippet. Thanks for the comments :D
