create/rename a directory

[michaeldebruin]

I am trying to make a program with a textbox in which you can put a name and it must use that name to create a directory with the name I've put in. I've already found some codes like

DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
System.IO.Directory.Move(@"C:\Nieuwe map", @"C:\savetext.Text");

.

Now comes a problem that I am getting the idea that the first line doesn't create a directory and that I don't know how to say that the 2nd line needs to look to my textbox. "savetext" is the name of my textbox.

The first line is correct, you're just giving it input of a directory that already exists. Consider what Environment.CurrentDirectory is... output it to the console or with a message box if you're not sure.

The second line also has issues. For the first parameter, the source directory, I'm not sure if you can put a space like that. You might need to surround the directory name in quotes, but this is something you can look into :) More importantly, the second parameter, the destination directory, is actually the string "c:\savetext.Text". If you want to use your text box, don't put it in quotes (with the C:\). If you want to include the c:\, you need to concatenate the strings...

[quote]@"C:\" + savetext.Text[/code]

Hopefully that helps you :)
