Move directory using C#

I'm trying to cut a folder. I've tried directoy.move(string source,string dest) & directoryinfo.moveto(dest) but in both case an exception was thrown "Source and destination path must have identical roots. Move will not work across volume".

You cannot move files and folders across different volumes with Directory.Move. You have to create the directory at the destination, recursively copy the files across then, on success, delete the files at the source or, as Tim suggested in the comments below, recursively create the directory structure then move the files across with File.Move.
