It is possible. Just specify the path, like Directory.Create(@"C:\ExistingFolder\MyNewFolder");

I guess, truth repeated twice becomes... clearer. :-)

May I ask you, what's wrong with just reading original MSDN documentation?

You can do this via the static method

VB

Directory.CreateDirectory(@"C:\ExistingFolder\MyNewFolder");

Directory.CreateDirectory Method[^]

Or you can use DirectoryInfo DirectoryInfo.CreateSubdirectory Method[^]

There are pretty good examples at MSDN you can follow. See the links above.
