public mainForm()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void btnCopy_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

DirectoryInfo dirCopyFrom = new DirectoryInfo(FromDir2);
FileInfo[] diskFiles = dirCopyFrom.GetFiles(FromDir2);
foreach (FileInfo curFile in diskFiles) <--- I cant make 2 foreach loop

why not

Code:

using System.IO;

foreach(string file in Directory.GetFiles(path)
{
      File.Copy(file, Path.Combine(newPath, Path.GetFileName(file)));
}

and this for each directory?

This is the code that [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...] site provides.

Code:

using System;
using System.IO;

class DirectoryCopyExample
{
    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);
            }
        }
    }
}

if you have any knowledge of c# you will know how to call that function with the right parameters, no need for me to write your code for you.

this code-snippet even offers an example of use
