Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction to see code on exactly how to copy a large binary object using vb.net quickly?

Thanks.

Hi,

Just from c:\ drive to c:\ drive

Try this:

Imports System.IO

Dim SrcPath, DestPath As String

Try
   SrcPath = "C:\SomeBigFile.bin"
   DestPath = "C:\Subdirectory\SomeBigFile.bin"

   File.Move(SrcPath, DestPath)

Catch ex As Exception
   ' Log Error

End Try

This will use Win32 operating system calls under the hood to move the file, so it's as fast as you'll get.

if you use File.Move it will actually move the file instead of copying it. File.Copy(srcpath,destpath) copies.
