Create C#Folders

Question

I’d like to do the following.

Create three folders inside each other in "c:/". Their names shall be designated by textboxes and at last, create a file .doc taking the values of textboxes.

---

It is for windows Forms application.

I tried to:

string folder = @"C:\folder"; //nome do diretorio a ser criado
folder = textBox1.Text;
//Se o diretório não existir...

if (!Directory.Exists(folder))
{

 //Criamos um com o nome folder
 Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);

}

My question is how to create one folder inside another! One I managed to create. It also needs to be in a specific path @"C:\folder". Thank you in advance!

To create the directories, just create the last directory that the other levels are created automatically, you can use the method Directory.CreateDirectory(), as shown below:

using System;
using System.IO;

class Test 
{
    public static void Main() 
    {
        // Specify the directory you want to manipulate.
        string path = @"c:\MyDir1\MyDir2\MyDir3\";

        try 
        {
            // Determine whether the directory exists.
            if (Directory.Exists(path)) 
            {
                Console.WriteLine("That path exists already.");
                return;
            }

            // Try to create the directory.
            DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
            Console.WriteLine("The directory was created successfully at {0}.", Directory.GetCreationTime(path));

            // Delete the directory.
            di.Delete();
            Console.WriteLine("The directory was deleted successfully.");
        } 
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString());
        } 
        finally {}
    }
}
