Create a file from a path, creating subdirectories if they not exists
Solved using a little bit of code:
private static void EnsureDirectoryExists(string filePath)
{
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(filePath);
if (!fi.Directory.Exists)
{
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(fi.DirectoryName);
}
}
Sorry for this really newbie post... Thank you all! :-)
Another option if just want to create a folder/directory if it does not exist is to simply do this in C#:
// using System.IO;
if (!Directory.Exists(destination))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(destination);
}
No, they don't seem to - you'll get a DirectoryNotFoundException, I believe from all three.
You need to do something like a Directory.CreateDirectory(path)
first.
EDIT:
For a bit more of a full solution which starts with a path including filename, try:
Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath));
TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fullPath);
writer.WriteLine("hello mum");
writer.Close();
But bear in mind you'll need some error handling too, so that the writer always gets closed (in a 'finally' block).
