Just a quick question. I'm using something like this
FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create);
I was wondering whether there was a parameter I could pass to it to force it to create the folder if it doesn't exist. At the moment an exception is throw if folder isn't found.
If there is a better method then using FileStream
I'm open to ideas.
Use Directory.CreateDirectory:
Directory.CreateDirectory Method (String)
Creates all directories and subdirectories as specified by path.
Example:
string fileName = @"C:\Users\SomeUser\My Documents\Foo\Bar\Baz\text1.txt";
Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName));
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream(fileName, FileMode.Create))
{
// ...
}
(Path.GetDirectoryName returns the directory part of the file name.)
Something like:
void EnsureFolder(string path)
{
string directoryName = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
// If path is a file name only, directory name will be an empty string
if (directoryName.Length > 0)
{
// Create all directories on the path that don't already exist
Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryName);
}
}
