I am very new to VB.net and anything I do know is self taught so please bear with me

I am trying to develop a program that will allow a user to select files using the open file dialog. The files will then be copied into multiple directories that the user selects from another open file dialog. All selections are listed in a list box. When the user hits the Go button the selected files are copied to all the selected directories.

At least that is my intent.

I have struggled with this and looked at a bunch of sample code and just cannot get it put together.

The code I have so far is:

Imports System.IO



	Dim File2Copy As String

	Private Sub Close(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
		Me.Close()
	End Sub

	Private Sub File(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
		OpenFD.Multiselect = True

		If OpenFD.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
			For Each s As String In OpenFD.FileNames
				ListBox2.Text &= s & Environment.NewLine
				System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(s)

				'File.Copy(s, File2Copy & "\" & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(s))
			Next
		End If
	End Sub

	Private Sub Directories(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
		OpenFD.Multiselect = True

		If OpenFD.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
			For Each s As String In OpenFD.FileNames
				ListBox1.Text &= s & Environment.NewLine
				System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(s)
				File.Copy(s, File2Copy & "\" & System.IO.Path.GetFileName(s))
			Next
		End If
	End Sub

	Private Sub Go(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button4.Click

	End Sub
End Class

Are you receiving any error message? If not, what is this code doing versus what you want it to do?

I am not getting an errors at all. Absolutly nothing happens other than being able to open the dialog.

You never assign File2Copy a value, so the files created will be in your Bin directory. Give it a path to where you want the files created.

Also you need a String to hold the value that you get back from GetFileName method. Don't use the GetFileNameWithoutExtension method because you need the file extensions in order to save the file. Then uncomment and modify the File.Copy statement and modify it to use the filename and extension stored in result.

I'm not sure why you have two different buttons that are trying to do that same thing, but your Directories click event is using the same code to do the same thing, with the same problem.

Is there a reason that you have two buttons doing the same thing?
