I think the problem is here:

string destinationfolder;

You declare an empty string and after try to get DirectoryInfo from what? And Empty string? This thrown an Exception. You can see your code like this:

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("");

This code throw always an Exception. The question is: what you need in "destinationFolder" parameter?

This is a sample file copy:

string sourceFolder = @"C:\Documents";
string destinationFolder = "@"C:\MyDocumentsCopy";

DirectoryInfo directory = new DirectoryInfo(sourceFolder);
FileInfo[] files = directory.GetFiles();
foreach(var file in files)
{
    string destinationPath = Path.Combine(destinationFolder, file.Name);
    File.Copy(file.Fullname, destinationPath);
}
