What I have tried:

VB

If OpenFileDialog1.ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

                Dim sayi As Integer = Me.OpenFileDialog1.FileNames.Length - 1
                For i As Integer = 0 To sayi
                   
                    ListBox1.Items.Add(OpenFileDialog1.FileNames(i))

                Next
               
            End If

Hi,

I don`t think so you can find any function that provides you this much high flexibility to get your list of files and folders and copy them somewhere just as multi-selection copy-paste in Windows directory browser. But, you can build one. Do following:

1- Create a list of strings
2- Add all path of File2 and File4 into the list
3- Create a folder with the same folder name (in this case B) at your targeted destination
4- Use general IO.File functions to copy the files listed in step 2 into the destination path

Good luck, let me know if you need more help.
