Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
' Create a custom property for the folder.
Dim newProp As New [Property]()
newProp.Name = "Department"
newProp.Value = "Finance"
Dim props(0) As [Property]
props(0) = newProp
Dim folderName As String = "Budget"
Try
rs.CreateFolder(folderName, "/", props)
Console.WriteLine("Folder created: {0}", folderName)
Catch e As SoapException
Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml)
End Try
End Sub 'Main
End Class 'Sample
using System;

// Create a custom property for the folder.
Property newProp = new Property();
newProp.Name = "Department";
newProp.Value = "Finance";

The length of the full path name for the new folder cannot exceed 260 characters; otherwise, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemPathLengthExceeded
.
Folder names must be less than 128 characters long. The names cannot be null, consist of empty strings, or contain the following reserved characters: : ? ; @ & = + $ , \ * > < | . ". You can use the forward slash character (/) to separate items in the full path name of the folder, but you cannot use it at the end of the folder name.
If My Reports is enabled, a SOAP exception is thrown with the error code rsItemAlreadyExists
if you attempt to create a folder named "My Reports" in the root folder of the report server database.
Adding a folder to the report server database modifies the ModifiedBy and ModifiedDate properties of the parent folder.
