This snippet will show you how to add and remove directories, as well as check if they exist already or not in VB.NET.
Module DirInfo
Sub Main()
' Declare the directory that you want to create.
Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo("c:\MyDir")
Try
' Determine whether the folder exists.
If dir.Exists Then
' Outputs to the console to tell the user if it exists already
System.Console.WriteLine("That path exists already.")
Return
End If
' Attempt to create the folder.
dir.Create()
System.Console.WriteLine("The directory was created successfully.")
System.Console.Writeline("Check your C:\ drive to see if the directory MyDir was added. When ready to continue, press enter..")
System.Console.Readline()
' Delete the folder.
dir.Delete()
System.Console.WriteLine("The directory was deleted successfully.")
Catch e As Exception
' If there is an error, this will catch it and output the error to the console
System.Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString())
End Try
System.Console.ReadLine()
End Sub
End Module
