ASP.Net- Creating Directory in C# | Creating Folder in C#

In this post, I will explain how to create , delete directory or folder using C#.

In my previous posts, I explained Check Internet Connection using C#, SQL Server Database BackUp using C#, Partial Methods, Contextual Keyword, C# Static Methods and some other articles related to C#, ASP.Net and SQL Server .

For creating, deleting directory using C#, First of all you will have to add the following namespace in your code file.

using System.IO;

After adding the above namespace, write the following code for creating, deleting the directory.

 

Code for Create new directory

 

/// <summary>

/// Method for delete directory

/// </summary>

/// <param name="directoryName">Name of directory to be created</param>

public static void CreateNewDirectory(string directoryName)

{

   try

   {

     string strPath = @"C:/" + directoryName;

     //Check that directory with same is exists or not

     if (!(Directory.Exists(strPath)))

     {

         //Creating new directory

         Directory.CreateDirectory(strPath);

         Console.WriteLine("Directory Created Successfully");

         Console.ReadKey();                  

     }

     else

     {

        Console.WriteLine("Directory with same name already exists");

        Console.ReadKey();

     }

    }

    catch (Exception ex)

    {

    }

}

 

Code for Delete Directory

 

/// <summary>

/// Method for delete directory

/// </summary>

/// <param name="directoryName">Name of directory to be deleted</param>

public static void DeleteDirectory(string directoryName)

{

   try

   {

      string strPath = @"C:/" + directoryName;

      //Check that directory with same is exists or not

      if (Directory.Exists(strPath))

      {

        //Delete directory

        Directory.Delete(strPath);

        Console.WriteLine("Directory Deleted Successfully");

        Console.ReadKey();

       }

       else

        {

          Console.WriteLine("Directory not exists");

                    Console.ReadKey();

        }

     }

     catch (Exception ex)

     {

     }

 }
