?can you make a folder in visual basic?.....i mean like the one you get when you make a new folder on desktop or.ect

and if so would it be a windows app or a class library

[tody4me]

1) yes you can
2) I'm guessing that you are referring to .NET, and it depends on what you want to do, do you want to create a application and put the code in there to handle creating the folder, or do you want to use a class library which is re-usable? Class libraries are not executable.

MAYBE!, i have the code for you
hehe i just started vb so i wouldnt count on this being rihgt but..
the best way to learn is to be wrong.

Dim File = NewFolderDialog()
Save File On Desktop

i really doubt its right.

using the System.IO namespace, there is a File object there with a Create method. So it would be something like

Imports System.IO
<in function code somewhere>
...
File.Create(<file name variable>)

Same thing applies to creating a directory, same syntax i believe also.

You are absolutely correct, tody4me. Although you still need to create in VB the correct type of object. In this case, for folders, you need a DirectoryInfo object.

You can find an example at the following link.
