Can't move multiple files in a directory

I am trying to move multiple files in a directory to an archive sub folder. I used a foreach loop to do the idea. Unfortunately, It can only move a file if there is only one file in the directory. But when I put multiple in the directory the Directory.move(); won't work. Can anyone help me?
static string antJsonSerializer(){
#region KDI SALES
string[] allfiles = Directory.GetFiles(#"C:\xml\"); // Put all file names in root directory into array.
string sourceDirectory = #"C:\xml\";
string destinationDirectory = #"C:\xml\Archive\";
// Check if directories are existing -- Working
bool xmlRoot = System.IO.Directory.Exists(sourceDirectory);
if (!xmlRoot) System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(sourceDirectory);
bool xmlArchive = System.IO.Directory.Exists(destinationDirectory);
if (!xmlArchive) System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(destinationDirectory);
AntHelpers drone = new AntHelpers();
foreach (string name in allfiles)
{
try
{
drone.xmltosql(#name.Trim());
//File.Move(#name, destinationDirectory + (DateTime.Now.Year).ToString() + (DateTime.Now.Month).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + (DateTime.Now.Day).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + (DateTime.Now.Hour).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + ".html"); //Not working
Directory.Move(#name, destinationDirectory + (DateTime.Now.Year).ToString() + (DateTime.Now.Month).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + (DateTime.Now.Day).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + (DateTime.Now.Hour).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + ".html");
//Directory.Move(sourceDirectory, destinationDirectory); //Not working
}
catch (Exception e)
{
//Console.WriteLine("Main Process Catch ERR: " + e.Message);
//ErrLogtoDB(string TRNTYPE, string extserial, string texttowrite, string logfilename)
AntHelpers.ErrLogtoDB("SALES", #name, "Ant JSON Serializer Failed: " + e.Message,
"LeafCutterLogFile_JSONSerializer_" + (DateTime.Now.Year).ToString() + (DateTime.Now.Month).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + (DateTime.Now.Day).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + (DateTime.Now.Hour).ToString().PadLeft(2, '0') + ".html");
}
//drone.ExtractSQLSendAntHill(); //For testing: OFF
#endregion
return " !!!! Work Complete !!!! ";
}

You are trying to save a file with year + month + day + hour.html as "NAME". If multiple files are there, then how can you save it with same file name? Instead you should add seconds and/or milliseconds, or use something else to distinguish the file and make it a unique name. Otherwise, take file name without the extension then add year, month, day, and hour. That is why you are not able to move multiple files at a time, because when try to move the second file an exception will be thrown say "unable to move an existing file."

Directory.Move takes a source and destination directory, not a file path. Try this:
Directory.Move(sourceDirectory, destinationDirectory);
Also, it can be run at the very end - after the foreach loop.

Web Form Cutting Off After Special Character

I have a simple web form where a person can enter into a textbox what kind of project they want. For example, they may type in: Sales & Projection report needs to be fixed.
They then click a submit button and it gets sent off to a third party website that keeps track of our projects.
The problem is, in the example given above, everything gets cut off after the '&' symbol.
it gets sent like this:
String request = "fct=createorcopyproject&guid=" + guid + "&projectname=" + TxtProjectName.Text + "&projectdesc=" + TxtDescription.Text +
"&nexttasknumber=1&budgethours=0&budgetcost=0&estimatedstartdate=" + year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "&estimatedenddate=" + year + "-" + month + "-" + day + "&estimatedhours=0&estimatedexpenses=0&projectpriorityid=" + priorityIndex + "&projectstatusid=NULL&projecttemplate=0&contactname=" + user +
"&defaultestimatedtime=0&defaulttaskstartdate=1&defaulttaskenddate=1&defaulttaskactualdates=2&clientid=" + areaIndex + "&createdefaults=True&languagedefaults=EN&projecttemplateid=0000003&keeptemplatelink=false&copyprojectassignments=True&copyprojectdocuments=True&copyforumtopics=False&copytasks=False&adjusttaskdates=False&copytaskdocuments=False&copytaskassignments=False&markproject=False&format=ds";
Where TxtDescription.Text is where we are getting the cutoff.
Is this something on their end or am I missing something?

Use HttpUtility.UrlEncode method to encode the values you send in an URL (assuming this is an URL)

Pasting Data into excel file correctly from textbox

foreach (string TempSize in sizeArr)
{
txtResult.Text += store + "\t" + attributeSet + "\t" + configurableAttri + "\t" + type + "\t" + (ID + "_" + TempColour + TempSize) + "\n";
}
I am trying to generate Multiple Rows that i can use to paste into excel file. "\n" doesn't seem to show on the "new line" of the textbox.
I tried manually doing "\n" aka shift+enter and copy paste the 3 rows into excel, Excel place a empty space between each of them, anyway to remove that problem too?
Thanks in advance!

Problem Fixed with "\r\n" instead of "\n" hat's how Windows controls represent newlines

How to specify a file path in ASP.NET MVC

I want to specify a virtual path of a file but I am not able to do so.
Here is my code:
int Course_Id = 1;
int PortfolioID=1;
int ChandidateID=1;
string filepath = Server.MapPath("~/ePortfolio/PortFolioContent/" + Course_Id + "/Assignments/Exhb_" + item.PortfolioID + "_" + item.ChandidateID + ".jpg");
if(System.IO.File.Exists((filepath)))
{
ViewBag.Thumbnail = filepath;
}
When i use Server.MapPath it is fetching data from some other path:
My original path is:
E:\HOBBYHOMES(E-PORTFOLIO)\HobbyHomesWebApp\ePortfolio\PortFolioContent\1\Assignments
but it is taking this path
E:\HOBBYHOMES(E-PORTFOLIO)\HobbyHomesWebApp\ActivityPostin\Images\ePortfolio\PortFolioContent\1\Assignments\Exhb_1_1.jpg
I m not understanding why this is workin so.Please help me

Try string filepath = Server.MapPath("~/... ...jpg");

You can use #Url.Content("~/Content/Images/YourImageName.png")

Try doing something like this:
Path.Combine(Server.MapPath("~/"),("ePortfolio\\PortFolioContent\\" + Course_Id + "\\Assignments\\Exhb_" + item.PortfolioID + "_" + item.ChandidateID + ".jpg"));
In theory it results in the same answer that failed you previously. In practice, it may yield a completely different answer.
There's also a recent question here (which I can't find at the moment) which highlights that sometimes Server.MapPath("~/..etc..") misbehaves on rewritten request paths. Are you rewriting the request that is trying to form this path?
