Question

Hello I’m newer in VB net and in WinForms so maybe my question will seem naive.

I am using .net2.

I need to upload a file to the WinForms application and store it in specific folder.
In Web application I implemented it with help of the fileUpload Control.

Any idea how can I implement this in a WinForms application?

Your question is confusing because you mentioned uploading whih would indicate transfer to/from an internet location but in your comment it appears you just want to copy a file from the desktop to the D drive.

This code should do what you want:

Dim sourceFile As String = Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.Desktop, "foo.txt")
Dim destinationFile As String = "D:\folder\foo.txt"
File.Copy(sourceFile, destinationFile)

Note: You can use the same code to copy a file in a web application you do not need to use a FileUpload control
