If the second parameter is true, the Copy method will overwrite if file already exists.
The following code snippet copies a file to the destination file.

Imports System.IO
Module Module1
Sub Main()
Dim fileName As String = "C:\Temp\MaheshTXFITx.txt"
Dim fi As New IO.FileInfo(fileName)
Dim destinationFile As String = "C:\Temp\Data\MaheshTXCopied.txt"

Console.WriteLine(iox.Message)
End Try
End Sub
End Module
Above code copies the file from C:\Temp to C:\Temp\Data
