Question

What’s the best way to move a document from one doc library to another? I don’t care about version history or preserving CreatedBy and ModifiedBy metadata…

SPList lib1 = (SPDocumentLibrary) web.Lists['lib1']; SPList lib2 = (SPDocumentLibrary) web.Lists['lib2']; SPItem item1 = lib1.Items[0]; //insert code to move item1 to lib2 

I’m currently looking at SPItem.MoveTo() but wonder if anyone already solved this problem and has some advice.
Thanks in advance.

Got it:

SPList lib1 = (SPDocumentLibrary) web.Lists['lib1']; SPList lib2 = (SPDocumentLibrary) web.Lists['lib2']; SPListItem item1 = lib1.Items[0]; byte[] fileBytes = item1.File.OpenBinary(); string destUrl = lib2.RootFolder.Url + '/' + item1.File.Name; SPFile destFile = lib2.RootFolder.Files.Add(destUrl, fileBytes, true /*overwrite*/);
