Directory.CreateDirectory Method

Creates all directories and subdirectories as specified by path.

Namespace: System.IO
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

Syntax

public static DirectoryInfo CreateDirectory (
         stringpath
)

Parameters

  • path
    The directory path to create.

Return Value

A DirectoryInfo as specified by path.

Remarks

Any and all directories specified in path are created, unless they already exist or unless some part of path is invalid. The path parameter specifies a directory path, not a file path. If the directory already exists, this method does nothing. Creating a directory with only the colon (:) character is not supported, and will cause a NotSupportedException to be thrown.

Version Information

Available in the .NET Micro Framework versions 3.0, 4.0, and 4.1.
