For example; copying new data in folder 1 to folder 2 ... how would i go about making this ? and if you could direct me to a useful tutorial or tell me some of the code i would be very happy  thanks !!!

No one will really give you such code, because it is readily available by using Google, or reading a book for beginnings. This is basic functions that are taught at a very early level, when you said a bit of experience I assume you where overstating, to say the least.
Please Google for introductory articles on C# and .Net, make use of MSDN (as the examples posted are extremely helpful to beginners and professionals alike) and become accustomed to researching first, trying second and then asking for help, but on specific areas where you get stuck. Not an entire project.

sorry, i did search , just didn't know what to look for , hence why i was asking for advice and support ... thanks anyway

Regardless, your initial post still asked for code, which is generally frowned upon around here. You will see people here willing to help you a great deal if your question revolves around a specific bug and you've sincerely tried to accomplish something, anything other then coming here first.
Good luck with your work.

Well obviously i am new around here and didn't know what to put so i generally asked for code , regradless or not of peoples feelings to the topic of asking for source code , the term code could of meant that you can give me an example or you can tell me what type of code is required for me to research to reach my goal, i am very sorry , i have learnt my lesson to not use the term "code" in general circumstances , thank you

The title of your thread is "C# back up program"
Google for your own title and you would get
Backup Utility in C#[^]
as the second hit (the first is your thread)
So.. you're basically learning how to use Google. Good for you.

erm thanks for that ..... all you people are not nice are you :S okay sorry , and i know google is quite good isn't it ? i mean you can search anything , i did actually try that result obviously and i couldn't open the .zip file on visual basic 2008 as it wasn't compatible , hence why i thought i could come here for a bit of help as i thought you were kind people and would lend a hand instead of giving a person a hard time .... but yeah google is good as you can search a word in the text box  WOW !

Then you're also in the wrong forum, batting 100% aren't we today?

battling ? who said i was ? i am just saying my opinion on the subject ... and no i am in the right forum .. and can't help it for visual basic c# express 2008 faults which stop me from learning ... if u are battling ... may i suggest you stop as i am just saying my opinion and only asked for a bit of help on a forum i don't know but read the terms of use and how to question ...... But may i suggest you look at how to answer a question which is
HERE![^]
and i can seriously say that the question was not in the wrong forum, not inappropriate, in perfect English but could of been poorly structured for you to understand .. so read carefully. ..

Batting, not battling, you must learn to read my posts, it's an expression about baseball that is combined with sarcasm to illustrate the amount of mistakes you've made in a short period of time.
Here[^] is a guide about asking a question.

|

And sarcasm , like everyone knows, doesn't work on text typed on a forum or document with nothing to suggest it is in fact how u are saying it , all i needed was nice simple help.. which would be better with a simple answer, such as .... " weirdsteve the thing you need to research on google is "c# file copying" which will direct you to the right source for your problem"
|
|
|
|
|
I would agree...
...except the phrase is ONLY used in sarcasm and has no other meaning.
|
|
|
|
|
if you say so , but if you weren't going to be helpful , then u could of just carried on ....

You're using C#, or VB ? I'm confused. Either way, the best way to learn, is not to look at other source code, not at first. you would do better to work through the examples in a C# book, if you're starting out. From there, you'll understand enough to read up on things like the System.IO namespace and file watchers, which is basically what you need for the task at hand ( watch a folder, when a file is created or changed, copy it to the backup folder with System.IO.File.Copy )

There is no such thing. What I mean is, you're using a VB Express Edition or a C# express edition ( although you may have both installed ), and either way, you're using VB or C# in your project, not both. you should choose one and stick to it if you're learning, don't go back and forth, it will only confuse you.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. There was a time the answer to most questions was in the first hit; Chris must have done something wrong since now the first hit usually returns a question, not an answer.

It wasn't meant to be kind. It was meant to point out how incompetent you are and that you could very easily have done this for yourself and not bothered us or shown your ignorance.
