Directory.CreateDirectory("C:\Temp") ' ----- Relative path. Directory.CreateDirectory("..\Chapter2") If needed, CreateDirectory creates all directories down the line to the final directory. For example, the code: Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\NewDirectory\NewSubDirectory") creates the NewDirectory directory if it does not exist and then creates the NewSubDirectory directory if it does not exist. path can be either a path on the local system, the path of a mapped network drive, or a UNC path. The CreateDirectory method does not raise an error if the directory to be created already exists.
