In Manipulating the Windows file system I'm getting an exception while moving file from one directory to other

namespace WindowsFileOperation
{
    class WindowsFile
    {
       static void Main(string[] args)
       {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(@"C:\Users\kireett\Desktop\mydata");

        DirectoryInfo myDir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\Users\kireett\Desktop\mydata");

        FileInfo[] file = myDir.GetFiles();
        foreach (FileInfo f in file)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("name:{0}, Size:{1} lastAccessTime : {2} lastWriteTime :{3} Directory : {4} extension : {5}",
            f.Name, f.Length, f.LastAccessTime, f.LastWriteTime, f.Directory,f.Extension);
        }
        Directory.Move(@"C:\Users\kireett\Desktop\mydata\1.html", @"C:\Users\kireett\Desktop\Data sheet");
        Console.ReadKey();
       }
    }
}

Actually I have that "1.html" file in mydata directory. My aspect is moving that file into another directory "Data sheet". At Directory.Move I am getting an exception. Please help me.

1) Use File.Move(...) instead of Directory.Move(...) because you want to move the file not Directory.

2) You need to move it to another file (rather than a folder), this can also be used to rename.

File.Move(@"C:\Users\kireett\Desktop\mydata\1.html", @"C:\Users\kireett\Desktop\Data sheet\2.html");
