Hi guys,
I need my application to get the startup directory and check if subDir X exists, otherwise I create a new one.
I am trying the following code, but getting error: (I am working on server)
public void createDirectory(string name, bool hidden)
{
if (!Directory.Exists(name))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(name);
};
DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(name);
if (hidden)
dir.Attributes |= FileAttributes.Hidden;
else
dir.Attributes &= ~FileAttributes.Hidden;
} // end of reateDirectory
Error detail:
Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.FileIOPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.
Could anybody tell me how to deal with it
Thanks in advance,
Aldo.
Trouble when creating directory
thaoula
the exception says taht you|your code do not have permissions to create Folder.
start application from local HDD not from network share. this could solve the problem.
check if account in which you start app has permissions to create folder there
hope this helps

right click on folder where you want to create subfolder and select Sharing and Security...
click on security tab and add your user and give him Modify, Write permissions
hope this helps
