Question

Where I work, I test software, we put a new build of the software on the server each day, I need to be able to save a copy of the build and renaming it for the date it was saved, how would I do this?

(the start and destination locations will be the same each time)

The file is just an installer kinda, it is all self contained.

I need it to access the date the original was created on, so I do not have the problem with multiple files of the same name, and making it easy to find the build I need.

From msdn:

string path = @"c:\temp\MyTest.txt";
string path2 = path + "temp";

try 
{
        // Create the file and clean up handles.
        using (FileStream fs = File.Create(path)) {}

        // Ensure that the target does not exist.
        File.Delete(path2);

        // Copy the file.
        File.Copy(path, path2);
        Console.WriteLine("{0} copied to {1}", path, path2);

        // Try to copy the same file again, which should succeed.
        File.Copy(path, path2, true);
        Console.WriteLine("The second Copy operation succeeded, which was expected.");
    }
