public static IAsyncOperation<StorageFolder> CreateFolderForUserAsync(User user, string desiredName);
function createFolderForUserAsync(user, desiredName)
Public Shared Function CreateFolderForUserAsync (user As User, desiredName As String) As IAsyncOperation(Of StorageFolder)

Parameters

user
User

The User for which the folder is created.

desiredName
String

Platform::String

winrt::hstring

The desired name of the subfolder to create.

If a subfolder with the specified name already exists, a similar but unique name will be used. For example, if desiredName is "MyFolder" and a subfolder by that name already exists in the Downloads folder, the new subfolder will be created with a name like "MyFolder (1)" instead.

Returns

IAsyncOperation<StorageFolder>

When this method completes, it returns the new subfolder as a StorageFolder.

function createFolderForUserAsync(user, desiredName, option)
Public Shared Function CreateFolderForUserAsync (user As User, desiredName As String, option As CreationCollisionOption) As IAsyncOperation(Of StorageFolder)

Parameters

user
User

The User for which the folder is created.

desiredName
String

Platform::String

winrt::hstring

The desired name of the subfolder to create.

If there is an existing subfolder in the Downloads folder that already has the specified desiredName, the specified CreationCollisionOption determines how Windows responds to the conflict.

option
CreationCollisionOption

The enum value that determines how Windows responds if the desiredName is the same as the name of an existing subfolder in the Downloads folder.

Because the app can only access folders in the Downloads folder of the specified User, you can't specify OpenIfExists or ReplaceExisting for this parameter.

Returns

IAsyncOperation<StorageFolder>

When this method completes, it returns the new subfolder as a StorageFolder.
