Try with this:

    protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(MapPath("~/" + TextBox1.Text));
    }

Use Directory.Create method

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Here is the code:

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(TextBox1.Text);

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Try this code:-

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(MapPath("~/" + TextBox1.Text));

Thank you, it resolved the issue.

Hey, can you help me on more issue?

This is the situation. I have so many folders in my project. I need to upload files to different folders. How would I get an option to select a particular folder to save the file at run time?

You can use RadioButtonList which you can Bind with list of your Directories:
Control:

<asp:RadioButtonList ID="RadioButtonList1" runat="server" RepeatColumns="5" />

Code (Page_Load event) - instead of "*", you can use some search pattern:

using System.IO;

        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(MapPath("~/"));
            RadioButtonList1.DataSource = dirInfo.GetDirectories("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories);
            RadioButtonList1.DataBind();
        }

Use this for Directory name when saving file:

RadioButtonList1.SelectedItem.Text

Hey thank you very much for your quick reply. That has helped me a lot. Could you please let me know "How to exclude particular folders from the radio button list"?

Hi,

Could you please let me know "How would I disable radio button list item for a particular folder"

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Here is an example where will folders listed in "excludedDirs" be excluded in the RadioButtonList. But keep in mind that this is a Linq example and will work only in ASP.NET 3.5, so if you're using ASP.NET 2.0, let me know.

            DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(MapPath("~/"));
            string[] excludedDirs = { "App_Code", "App_Data", "App_GlobalResources", "App_LocalResources" };
            RadioButtonList1.DataSource = from p in dirInfo.GetDirectories("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
                                          where !excludedDirs.Contains(p.Name)
                                          select p;
            RadioButtonList1.DataBind();

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Yes, I am using .Net 2.0 Frame work. And I kindly request you to get me the code in VB.Net

Thanks and Regards

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Here it is:

        If Not IsPostBack Then
            Dim dirInfo As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(MapPath("~/"))
            Dim excludedDirs As String() = {"App_Code", "App_Data", "App_GlobalResources", "App_LocalResources"}
            RadioButtonList1.DataSource = dirInfo.GetDirectories("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
            RadioButtonList1.DataBind()
            For i As Integer = RadioButtonList1.Items.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
                For Each excludedDir As String In excludedDirs
                    If RadioButtonList1.Items(i).Text = excludedDir Then
                        RadioButtonList1.Items.RemoveAt(i)
                    End If
                Next
            Next
        End If

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Hi Kipo,

I am getting a small error message for the above code. If I have started including so many folders "I am getting an error message saying

"Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index"

Could you please let me know "Where do I need to change the code" to get the issue fixed.

Thanks and Regards

Sandeep

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

On what line of the code you get that error?

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

I am getting an error message at this point of code : "If RadioButtonList1.Items(i).Text = excludedDir Then"

Please recheck with this and let me know.

Thanks and Regards

Sandeep

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Can you post whole code you used?

Re: How to create a folder on button click?

Yes, Here is the Code that I have used

If Not IsPostBack Then
            Dim dirInfo As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(MapPath("~/"))
            Dim excludedDirs As String() = {"App_Code", "App_Data", "App_GlobalResources", "App_LocalResources"}
            RadioButtonList1.DataSource = dirInfo.GetDirectories("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
            RadioButtonList1.DataBind()
            For i As Integer = RadioButtonList1.Items.Count - 1 To 0 Step -1
                For Each excludedDir As String In excludedDirs
                    If RadioButtonList1.Items(i).Text = excludedDir Then
                        RadioButtonList1.Items.RemoveAt(i)
                    End If
                Next
            Next
        End If

When I am adding more directories over here "Dim excludedDirs As String() = {"App_Code", "App_Data", "App_GlobalResources", "App_LocalResources"}" I am getting an error message at this place " If RadioButtonList1.Items(i).Text = excludedDir Then". Please check with this and help me.

Thanks and Regards

Sandeep.
