Error using CreateDirectory

Tim
Hi, I am trying to create a directory from within my
program. I found the IO::Directory:: CreateDirectory
(filename) function, and used that but I get two errors
concerning CreateDirectory A (one that it takes two
parameters, the other that it is not in IO::Directory).
Did I miss something? I am including mscorlib.dll and
using the proper namespaces.

Thanks, Tim

I could be wrong, but I suspect that you are being interfered with by the
CreateDirectory macro in the Windows headers.

Possibly, do you know how I can fix that?

Hi, I undefined the CreateDirectory macro with "#undef
CreateDirectory " and it seemed to work. Thank you for
your help.

One option would be to #ifdef/#undef CreateDirectory . Another might be to
move the function that calls IO::Directory:: CreateDirectory to a translation
unit that doesn't see Windows.h. Maybe someone else could suggest a better
option.

Those are about the only two. Sure would be nice if someday the Windows
group would produce a C++ friendly version of windows.h! (Overloaded inline
functions, anyone?)

If I call CreateDirectory(\\\\devDriveA\\foo\\bar\\a\\b\\c) and \\devDriveA\foo\bar already exists then sub directories a\b\c don't get created. When I use CreateDirectory on my own file system, e.g. CreateDirectory("c:\\a\\b\\c"); it works fine. Is there something that I must do to get CreateDirectory to work on network drives?

Hi, Is there a way to avoid conflicts between CreateDirectory() (from API) and Directory::CreateDirectory(). The other functions from Directory class works(Exists() as example). It seems to be caused by the inclusion of "windows.h" ... but I need it. I already tried the System::IO::Directory::CreateDirectory() typo. Any ideas ?
