That seemas like an odd thing to do. What are you trying to accomplish?

In addition to PIEBALDconsult's question, what is the format of the folders ?

Its pretty easy to use

My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("Some\Hierarchy");

but what really matters is the 'pattern' / 'hierarchy' of what you're creating - you could end up with (pseudo code)

for i = 0..1499
string dirpath = getNextDirPath(i); // getNextDirPath returns a string representing a path based on the integer i input
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(dirpath)
end-for

if the number from 1 to 1500 was part of the path for example, a simple case

Always use "reply" when replying to a comment otherwise people don't get notified.

It's a for-loop with call to Directory.CreateDirectory method[^] inside. What exactly is your problem?

Where you stored the folder name or how to name the 1500 folders?

Dim i As Integer

For i = 1 To 1500
IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("d:\foldername" & i)
