Problem is that i want to move the file into a new directory which will be created according to the date of its moving,means if the file is been moved today then the file will be stored in MovedFolder/2012/March/15/FileName.xml.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried the very obviously named Directory.CreateDirectory[^]

yes but it will only create a single directory,but i want a nested subdirectories and according to current date

You have to create new directories one at a time. There's no magic solution for you. I know this might traumatize you, but you're going to have to actually have to write code.

CreateDirectory can create a sequence of subdirectories

C#

Directory.CreateDirectory(@"c:\dir1\dir2\dir3");

will create all three directories if they don't already exist.

A little bit of custom DateTime formatting will get you what you want. [^]

C#

Directory.CreateDirectory(DateTime.Now.ToString(@"c:\yyyy\MMMM\dd"));

[EDIT] sorry that was complete nonsense, this will work:

C#

private static void CreateDirectories() {
  DateTime current = DateTime.Now;
  String name = String.Format(@"v:\{0:yyyy}\{1:MMMM}\{2:dd}", current, current, current);
  try {
    Directory.CreateDirectory(name);
  } catch (Exception e) {
    Console.WriteLine(e);
  }
}

Solution 3

hi..

hope this will help....

string path = "D:\\MoveFolder\\" + DateTime.Now.Year.ToString() + "\\" +
DateTime.Now.ToString("MMMM") + "\\" + DateTime.Now.Day.ToString();

Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
FileStream fs = File.Create(path+"\\Filename.xml");
