下面的代码是微软建议如何复制目录 由亲爱的@iato分享 但是它只是递归地复制源文件夹的子目录和文件，而不复制源文件夹本身(如右键单击->复制)。

但在这个答案下面有一个棘手的方法:

private static void DirectoryCopy(string sourceDirName, string destDirName, bool copySubDirs = true)
        {
            // Get the subdirectories for the specified directory.
            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(sourceDirName);

            if (!dir.Exists)
            {
                throw new DirectoryNotFoundException(
                    "Source directory does not exist or could not be found: "
                    + sourceDirName);
            }

            DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dir.GetDirectories();
            // If the destination directory doesn't exist, create it.
            if (!Directory.Exists(destDirName))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(destDirName);
            }

            // Get the files in the directory and copy them to the new location.
            FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();
            foreach (FileInfo file in files)
            {
                string temppath = Path.Combine(destDirName, file.Name);
                file.CopyTo(temppath, false);
            }

            // If copying subdirectories, copy them and their contents to new location.
            if (copySubDirs)
            {
                foreach (DirectoryInfo subdir in dirs)
                {
                    string temppath = Path.Combine(destDirName, subdir.Name);
                    DirectoryCopy(subdir.FullName, temppath, copySubDirs);
                }
            }
        }

如果你想递归复制源文件夹和子文件夹的内容，你可以像这样简单地使用它:

string source = @"J:\source\";
string dest= @"J:\destination\";
DirectoryCopy(source, dest);

但是如果你想复制源目录自己(类似于你右键单击源文件夹，然后单击复制，然后在目标文件夹中单击粘贴)，你应该像这样使用:

 string source = @"J:\source\";
 string dest= @"J:\destination\";
 DirectoryCopy(source, Path.Combine(dest, new DirectoryInfo(source).Name));

下面是我用于IO任务的一个实用程序类。

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

    public class ShellFileOperation

        private static String StringArrayToMultiString(String[] stringArray)
        {
            String multiString = "";

            if (stringArray == null)
                return "";

            for (int i=0 ; i<stringArray.Length ; i++)
                multiString += stringArray[i] + '\0';

            multiString += '\0';

你可以一直使用这个，摘自微软网站。

static void Main()
{
    // Copy from the current directory, include subdirectories.
    DirectoryCopy(".", @".\temp", true);
}

private static void DirectoryCopy(string sourceDirName, string destDirName, bool copySubDirs)
{
    // Get the subdirectories for the specified directory.
    DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(sourceDirName);

    if (!dir.Exists)
    {
        throw new DirectoryNotFoundException(
            "Source directory does not exist or could not be found: "
            + sourceDirName);
    }

    DirectoryInfo[] dirs = dir.GetDirectories();
    // If the destination directory doesn't exist, create it.
    if (!Directory.Exists(destDirName))
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(destDirName);
    }

    // Get the files in the directory and copy them to the new location.
    FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles();
    foreach (FileInfo file in files)
    {
        string temppath = Path.Combine(destDirName, file.Name);
        file.CopyTo(temppath, false);
    }

    // If copying subdirectories, copy them and their contents to new location.
    if (copySubDirs)
    {
        foreach (DirectoryInfo subdir in dirs)
        {
            string temppath = Path.Combine(destDirName, subdir.Name);
            DirectoryCopy(subdir.FullName, temppath, copySubDirs);
        }
    }
}

public static class Extensions
{
    public static void Copy(this DirectoryInfo self, DirectoryInfo destination, bool recursively)
    {
        foreach (var file in self.GetFiles())
        {
            file.CopyTo(Path.Combine(destination.FullName, file.Name));
        }

        if (recursively)
        {
            foreach (var directory in self.GetDirectories())
            {
                directory.Copy(destination.CreateSubdirectory(directory.Name), recursively);
            }
        }
    }
}

使用示例:

var sourceDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\source");
var destinationDirectory = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\destination");

if (destinationDirectory.Exists == false)
{
    sourceDirectory.Copy(destinationDirectory, recursively: true);
}

下面的代码复制所有文件从源到目标给定的模式在相同的文件夹结构:

public static void Copy()
        {
            string sourceDir = @"C:\test\source\";
            string destination = @"C:\test\destination\";

            string[] textFiles = Directory.GetFiles(sourceDir, "*.txt", SearchOption.AllDirectories);

            foreach (string textFile in textFiles)
            {
                string fileName = textFile.Substring(sourceDir.Length);
                string directoryPath = Path.Combine(destination, Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName));
                if (!Directory.Exists(directoryPath))
                    Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath);

                File.Copy(textFile, Path.Combine(directoryPath, Path.GetFileName(textFile)), true);
            }
        }

它可能没有性能意识，但我用它来处理30MB的文件夹，它工作得完美无缺。另外，我不喜欢这么简单的任务所需要的大量代码和递归。

var src = "c:\src";
var dest = "c:\dest";
var cmp = CompressionLevel.NoCompression;
var zip = source_folder + ".zip";

ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(src, zip, cmp, includeBaseDirectory: false);
ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zip, dest_folder);

File.Delete(zip);

注意:ZipFile可以在。net 4.5+的System.IO.Compression命名空间中使用
