        I bet what he's looking for is an obscure function called something like ::DoMySpecialThingRightNow() instead of an intuitive name like ::CreateDirectory().... I mean, who would ever think of that... :rolleyes:

            The Boost libraries have a create_directories () function that does precisely this. See http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/boost/filesystem/convenience.hpp[^]

              Well CreateDirectory is useless. He actually needs CreateDirectoryHierarchy... :-D

                There's a lot of hard ways to do it... I prefer simple:

                ::SHCreateDirectory(NULL, L"c:\\Test\\Temp");

                *edit* While easy, I just noticed SHCreateDirectory[Ex] is deprecated. Bummer.

                    Please find the code below Using System.IO; //for creating the directory Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\\Test"); Directory.CreateDirectory("c:\\Test\\Temp");

                      Hi, Actually CreateDirectory does not create all directories in hierarchy. I solved this problem by using MakeSureDirectoryPathExists. Thanks.

                          Hi, CreateDirectory does not create directory hierarchy. I would have to create each directory in hierarchy. I got solution. MakeSureDirectoryPathExists creates directory hierarchy. Thanks

                            Hi, I used 'SHCreateDirectory' but got 'SHCreateDirectory': undeclared identifier. CreateDirectory API does not suite to my requirement becuase it creates directory only if parent directory exist. I got MakeSureDirectoryPathExists API which fulfil my requirements. Thanks for your help.
