The following example demonstrates some of the main members of the DirectoryInfo class.

using namespace System;

   // Specify the directories you want to manipulate.
   DirectoryInfo^ di = gcnew DirectoryInfo( "c:\\MyDir" );
   try

      // Determine whether the directory exists.
      if ( di->Exists )
      {
         
         // Indicate that the directory already exists.
         Console::WriteLine( "That path exists already." );
         return 0;
      }
      
      // Try to create the directory.
      di->Create();
      Console::WriteLine( "The directory was created successfully." );
      
      // Delete the directory.
      di->Delete();

let targetDirectory = @"c:\targetDirectory"

let diSource = DirectoryInfo sourceDirectory

copyAll diSource diTarget

// Output will vary based on the contents of the source directory.
Imports System.IO

Remarks

Use the DirectoryInfo class for typical operations such as copying, moving, renaming, creating, and deleting directories.

If you are going to reuse an object several times, consider using the instance method of DirectoryInfo instead of the corresponding static methods of the Directory class, because a security check will not always be necessary.

Note

In members that accept a path as an input string, that path must be well-formed or an exception is raised. For example, if a path is fully qualified but begins with a space, the path is not trimmed in methods of the class. Therefore, the path is malformed and an exception is raised. Similarly, a path or a combination of paths cannot be fully qualified twice. For example, "c:\temp c:\windows" also raises an exception in most cases. Ensure that your paths are well-formed when using methods that accept a path string.

In members that accept a path, the path can refer to a file or just a directory. The specified path can also refer to a relative path or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path for a server and share name. For example, all the following are acceptable paths:

  • "c:\\MyDir\\MyFile.txt" in C#, or "c:\MyDir\MyFile.txt" in Visual Basic.

  • "c:\\MyDir" in C#, or "c:\MyDir" in Visual Basic.

  • "MyDir\\MySubdir" in C#, or "MyDir\MySubDir" in Visual Basic.

  • "\\\\MyServer\\MyShare" in C#, or "\\MyServer\MyShare" in Visual Basic.

By default, full read/write access to new directories is granted to all users.
