Create New Folder

[annir]

Hi Guys,

Does anyone know on how to create a new folder. And it will require the user where he/she will create it?

I have a Dirlistbox, then for example the user open a folder from the Dirlistbox then she/he decides that they want to create a folder in that path.

does anyone have an idea on this one?

thanks!

A FolderBrowserDialog has the 'New Folder' button option on the dialog.

System.IO namespace is a good place to look for all IO functionality, you have brief knowledge of it from a previous thread. The My feature this is also something all beginners should have a look at, try for example to write "My.Computer.FileSystem." - what do you see?

Rename Folder

Hi Guys,

Can I ask if it is possible that when the user select a folder from Dirlistbox then they want that folder to rename it?

Any idea on this one?

Thanks!

Same answer as post 3. If you go for the System.IO approach you will discover that "rename" is really a "move" operation.

Hi johnh,

thanks! I'm able to rename the folder, but how in the file? how can I rename the file inside the Filelistbox?

I used this but have an error:

My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(FileListBox1.FileName.ToString, TextBox1.Text)

and also how can I preserved the file extension of that file (what file type of that file ex: .pdf, .doc, etc

Thanks!

Look into the System.IO.Path namespace, there's some filename and file extension handling stuff in there
