Create and Delete Directory in ASP.NET

In this article, we will tell you how to create and delete directories in ASP.NET.

  

To create a directory please use the procedure given below:

 

1. Used the namespace:

using System.IO;

2. Get the path where you want to create the directory like:

string path = Server.MapPath(Path where you want to create the directory);

3. Check if the directory already exists on the given path; if it does not exist then create the directory on the given path, as in:

//Checking directory already exist or not at the given path
if (!Directory.Exists(path))
{
    //Create the directory on the given path
    Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
    Response.Write("Directory has been created successfuly.");
}

To delete the directory from the given path please use the procedure given below.

 

1. Check if the directory already exists on the given path; if it already exists then delete that directory from the given path using the following:

if (Directory.Exists(path))
{
    // Delete the directory from the given path
    Directory.Delete(path);
    Response.Write("Directory has been deleted successfuly.");
}
