DirectoryInfo class doesn't actually validate the file path passed to it in the constructor either until the value of the Exists property is retrieved or a method is called that attempts to perform an operation on the file system, this code should not throw a DirectoryNotFound exception before the Exists property is retrieved thus the microsoft example did not incorrectly put the GetDirectories line above the dir.Exists.

To avoid plagiarism I've mentioned the link of microsoft doc in my comments.

here is the question
- How to copy a directory from one location to another using C#
so which one is the right solution ?
all of them just copy contents of the source folder not the source folder itself. do you call this small bug ???

I've copied from microsoft docs from here and changed some parts:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/how-to-copy-directories
what do you mean by plagiarism ?
thats funny if microsoft call that plagiarism too if I share something from their docs.

you are right dude, but 3 past hours I was searching for a function to copy a directory to another, but I could not find.
I wanted that function copy the source folder itself too and not just contents even recursively.

It doesn't work yet
