I want to copy the entire contents of a directory from one location to another in C#.
There doesn't appear to be a way to do this using System.IO classes without lots of recursion.
There is a method in VB that we can use if we add a reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic:
new Microsoft.VisualBasic.Devices.Computer().
FileSystem.CopyDirectory( sourceFolder, outputFolder );
This seems like a rather ugly hack. Is there a better way?
