I have a login form, when user logins i want folder named Images to be displayed at run time.
When user clicks folder it opens another page (datas from sql).
I have created folder by using this code :

C#

string NewDirectory = Server.MapPath("Images");

       CreateDirectoryIfNotExists(NewDirectory);

Folder is also created. How to display the folder in my webpage?

creating a web page for photo studio. Separate login will be given for customers to view their albums (wedding, birthday...). each customer will have a separate username and pwd. When they login i want to display the Images folders. On clicking the folder they can view the images. No of folders vary from one customer to another which i have saved in database.

"Folder is also created" - so you have no problem with creating the folder, but want to show that new folder on your web-page!?
For what purpose?

You can list out all the directories on you page:

here is the code,

XML

<%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %>
<html>
<body>
    <% foreach (var dir in new DirectoryInfo("E:\\MyFolder").GetDirectories()) { %>
        Directory: <%= dir.Name %><br />

        <% foreach (var file in dir.GetFiles()) { %>
            <%= file.Name %><br />
        <% } %>
        <br />
    <% } %>
</body>
</html>

OR :

C#

void GetDirectories(string path)
    {
        //use try catch since some directories may not allow you to read the subfolders eg:your antivruses Quarantine folder
        try 
        {
            string[] directoryList = System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(path);
            if (directoryList.Length > 0)
            {
                sb.Append("<ul>");
                foreach (string directory in directoryList)
                {
                    System.IO.FileAttributes f = (new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(directory)).Attributes;
                    if ((f & System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden) != System.IO.FileAttributes.Hidden)
                    {
                        sb.Append("<li>").Append(directory);
                        GetDirectories(directory);
                        sb.Append("</li>");
                    }
                }
                sb.Append("</ul>");
            }
        }
        catch
        {

        }
    }

Dear, Just Put this code in page load event.
This will create a folder named MyFolder.

C#

string strpath = @"C:/" + "MyFolder";
            //Condition to check if any directory exists with same name
            if (!(Directory.Exists(strpath)))
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(strpath);
               lblMessage. Text = "Directory Created";
            }
            else
            {
              lblMessage . Text = "Already Directory Exists with the same name";
            }
