Example

Example of MoveTo implementation for WebDAV Class 2 server:

 public class Folder : HierarchyItem, IFolder, IFolderLock
 {
        ...
        public override WebDAVResponse MoveTo(IFolder folder, string destName)
        {
            Folder destFolder = folder as Folder;
            if(destFolder == null)
                return new ConflictResponse();
            
            Folder parent = Parent as Folder;
            if(parent == null)
                return new ConflictResponse();
            
            if(!ClientHasToken || !destFolder.ClientHasToken || !parent.ClientHasToken)
                return new LockedResponse();
            
            HierarchyItem destItem = destFolder.FindChild(destName);
            Folder newDestFolder;

            // copy this folder

            {
                HierarchyItem dbchild = child as HierarchyItem;
                WebDAVResponse resp = dbchild.MoveTo(newDestFolder, child.Name);
                if(!resp.IsSuccess)
                    mr.AddResponses(new ItemResponse(dbchild.Path, resp));
                else
                {
                    MultistatusResponse mrchild = resp as MultistatusResponse;

                        mr.AddResponses(mrchild.Responses);
                }
            }

            // delete this folder
            if(mr.Responses.Length > 0)
                return mr;
            else if(destItem == null)
            {
                DeleteThisItem();
                return new CreatedResponse();
            }
            else
            {
                DeleteThisItem();
                return new NoContentResponse();
