Create Nested Directories in C# and VB.NET

A lot of developers do not know that Directory.CreateDirectory() can be used to create directories and subdirectories as specified by the path. Here’s an example

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    try
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(@"D:\ParentDir\ChildDir\SubChildDir\");
        Console.WriteLine("Directories Created");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

VB.NET

Shared Sub Main(ByVal args() As String)
    Try
        Directory.CreateDirectory("D:\ParentDir\ChildDir\SubChildDir\")
        Console.WriteLine("Directories Created")
        Console.ReadLine()
    Catch ex As Exception
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub
