Copying files to a directory using C#

Glen Childs asked:

Open original thread
I am trying to create an application to copy files from a cd/dvd, using a windows form C# and the .NetFramework. The application is to detect the dvd/cd, create a folder on the desktop and name the folder with the cd/dvd's name. Then to be able to copy the contents of the dvd/cd to the folder on the desktop.

I could do with help please as I cant seem to find a way to create the folder and name it.

I have got it so far to detect whether there is a cd/dvd in the drive, this is what I have got so far:
C#
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO; 
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace ALC_Data_Coping_App
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
               

                foreach (var drive in DriveInfo.GetDrives()
                .Where(d => d.DriveType == DriveType.CDRom))
                MessageBox.Show(drive.Name + " " + drive.IsReady.ToString());

                  
         }
    }
} 

I am also looking at (once this is working) putting this into a timer or as a windows service (if possible) so when ever a disc is inserted it will run the code.

Any help would be appreciated thanks! :)
