Whats the easiest way to ensure folder exist before I do a File.Move? [duplicate]

Question

I have a folder structure:

C:\Temp [completely empty]

And I have a file that I want to move to

C:\Temp\Folder1\MyFile.txt

If I perform a File.Move I will get an error saying that this folder doesnt exist.

Is there any C# method that will create all the folders up to that point so:

C:\Temp\Folder1\

?

Answer 1

Use System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory

Addtional note: You don't have to check if it exists first. CreateDirectory will do the right thing regardless.

Answer 2

If Directory.Exists("somedir") 

See here for more info.

To create a directory if it doesn't exist

Directory.CreateDirectory("path of dir"); 

It will create all dirs and subdirs, see here
