Hi I want to copy files from one directory to another from Silverlight where ever I want but not with ISOLATED STORAGE as it provide file handling access only for a particular directory.

You can't do this with Silverlight.

The only way of doing that without isloated storate is by using the OpenFileDialog to select the file you want to copy from, and the SaveFileDialog to select the file you want to copy to.

The best way and what is needed is to read the file with StreamReader, locate it in memory and then write that memory to a new file with StreamWriter.

You cant use the Streams unless you get them through the Open/Save file dialogs. Thats because of Silverlight Security restrictions: http://progproblems.blogspot.com/2009/11/saveread-file-from-silverlight-30-in.html
