Question

I have an exe that already creates a csv file. If I save the exe in C:/EXE, then the cvs file automatically gets created in C:/EXE folder.
C# code uses StreamWriter to accomplish this:

using (TextWriter log = new StreamWriter(errorLog + errorBatchNumber.ToString("000") + ".csv", true))
{
    if (errorCount == 0)
    {
        log.WriteLine("Error message");
    }
    log.WriteLine(link.StatusMessage);
    log.Close();
}

What I need to add:

1. A folder needs to be created first where the csv file will be saved.
2. This folder will be created where the EXE was saved, in this example: C:/EXE
3. After folder and cvs file was created, it needs to be zipped thru code. (But I need to accomplish first 1 and 2)

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance guys! 🙂

If you know the path where the EXE will be saved then

1. Directory.CreateDirectory(path + folderName) to create folder
2. To zip items use SharpZipLib at
