CopyResource Method

Copies a resource.

Syntax

• C#
• VB.NET

public string CopyResource(string resourceId, string parentId, string newName);

Public Function CopyResource(ByVal ResourceId As String, ByVal ParentId As String, ByVal NewName As String) As String

Remarks

This method copies the resource specified by ResourceId to the folder specified by ParentId. The Id of the newly-copied resource is returned.

NewName specifies the name of the copied resource; if empty, the resource's original name is used. ParentId can also be empty, in which case the resource is copied to the root folder.

NewName must be no longer than 255 characters; may not contain /, \, non-printable ASCII characters, or trailing whitespace; and cannot be one of the special names . or ...

Note that copy operations for folders with greater than 500 children (counted recursively) are performed asynchronously; the server will return the Id of the newly-copied folder resource immediately while continuing to perform the copy operation over time. There is no way to monitor an asynchronous copy operation.
