FSO in ASP.NET 2.0

I used FSO in ASP without any problems, and I'm wondering if you can use FSO in the same way in ASP.NET (2.0). This is the method that I've been using in ASP:

Dim strPhotoPath = Trim(rsPhoto("DC_FileName").Value.ToString)
Dim objFSO As Object = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim strPhotoFilePath As String = "\\SERVER1\Photo\" & strPhotoPath
Dim strPhotoDestination As String = "e:\wwwroot\SERVER2\temp\"
If objFSO.FileExists(strPhotoFilePath) Then
     'Copy file to its destination
     Dim objFileCopy As Object = objFSO.GetFile(strPhotoFilePath)
     objFileCopy.Copy(strPhotoDestination)
     objFileCopy = nothing
End If

Thanks for any help.

kwilliams,
.net introduces a new namespace (System.IO)
Here is a link to the MSDN http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/system.io.aspx

This is not to say that you can not use FSO (i have not tried but i assume it still works). As well i believe there is another namespace other than System.IO that you can use but (i believe) System.IO is the preferred method. As least this is what i have been using.

I just put this together so it may work and it may not work. Youll have to change the variables in the File.Copy method as those are just telling you what it needs.

If you have any problems post back but also do a google on System.IO and youll get some hits.

Imports System.IO

Dim strPhotoPath = Trim(rsPhoto("DC_FileName").Value.ToString)
Dim strPhotoFilePath As String = "\\SERVER1\Photo\" & strPhotoPath
Dim strPhotoDestination As String = "e:\wwwroot\SERVER2\temp\"

If File.Exists(strPhotoFilePath) Then
      File.Copy(SourceFileName, DestFileName)     

End If

Wow, thanks for the great answer. I've received a lot of feedback about System.IO, so I'll see if I can work with it as a new solution. I really do appreciate your help! Thanks.
