I need help with the following code.  Both SourceFile and TargetFile contains spaces.  How do I make this work?  Currently it does nothing.

    Dim RoboCopyArgs As New StringBuilder

    With RoboCopyArgs
                        .Clear()
                        .Append("""")
                        .Append(SourceFile)
                        .Append("""")
                        .Append(" ")
                        .Append("""")
                        .Append(TargetFile)
                        .Append("""")
                        .Append(" /S /E ")
                    End With

                    Dim proc As Process = Process.Start("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Robocopy.exe", RoboCopyArgs.ToString)

                    proc.Start()

                    proc.Close()

Running RoboCopy from Visual Basic Application

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
