Question

I’m fairly new to programming in general. I’m working on a simple app that could combine a couple of functions to automate or simplify some of the things I do at work. One of the functions I’m trying to build is to be able to create a folder. Now I have found an article on that on Microsoft’s msdn resource and it’s child’s play. But the instructions there only show how to create a folder with a predefined name in the code. What I’d rather want is to have a textbox where I input the folder’s name and the directory is named with that input. The msdn code looks like this:

My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory _
("C:\vb\")

I understand I should now add:

Dim txt As String
txt = TextBox1.Text

But what next? How do I tell VB to use as directory name the input “txt”?

Answer 1

Try this:

Dim txt As String
txt = TextBox1.Text
My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("C:\" & txt & "\")
