Create Folder on Server?

[rdgerken]

Can anyone provide an example of how to create a folder on the server from within an ASP application? (When the user sets up a new project, I want to create a folder on my server with a default set of folders based on the project number automatically).

I saw some information about the filesystem object and all that, but it seems to be using COM or something. What's the clean easy way in 2.0? lol

Use System.IO.Directory.Create("..")

Make sure you have permitions to do IO

yeah, that seems to work pretty good... I actually ended up using some other crazy code in order to do a "copy". Disappointing that the copy wasn't really built into that class. I'm sure there is a reason!

Yep, it's in the new "My.Computer.FileSystem" class that's been created in the second version of the framework and can be used to replace the System.IO methods:

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory()
