Copy a file content using event receivers?

Question

I want to know if there is any way by which I can make a copy of the file which is being added to a document library using c# event receiver and further convert it to pdf in SharePoint 2010 ?

i.e If a file A is being uploaded to Document Library Test then using Item Added event receiver I want to create a copy of the File A say File B and convert it into B.pdf programmatically.

Is it possible ?

How?

Note : I know how to convert to pdf but dont know how can I make a copy of the document?

Answer 1

Use the SPFile.CopyTo method.

SPFile.CopyTo Reference

Example:

SPSite oSiteCollection = SPContext.Current.Site;
using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSite.AllWebs["Site_Name/Subsite_Name"])
{
    SPFileCollection collFiles = oWebsite.GetFolder("Shared 
        Documents").Files;

    for (int intIndex=0; intIndex<collFiles.Count; intIndex++)
    {
        collFiles[intIndex].CopyTo("Destination_DocLib/" + 
            collFiles[intIndex].Name, true);
    }
}

You could also use the SPFileCollection.Add method.

SPFileCollection.Add Reference

Example:

using (SPSite oSiteCollection = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
{
    using(SPWeb oWebsite = oSiteCollection.AllWebs["MyWebSite"])
    {
        SPWebCollection collWebsites = oWebsite.Webs;
        SPFile oFile = oWebsite.GetFile("MyDocLib/MyFile");
        foreach (SPWeb oWebsiteNext in collWebsites)
        {
            SPFolder oFolder = oWebsiteNext.GetFolder("Shared Documents");
            SPFileCollection collFiles = oFolder.Files;

            string strDestUrl = oFolder.Url + "/" + oFile.Name;
            byte[] binFile = oFile.OpenBinary();
            collFiles.Add(strDestUrl, binFile);

            oWebsiteNext.Dispose();
        }
    }
}
