Create a Directory in C#

Creating a directory in C# can be done by two ways
          1. Static method part of Directory Class CreateDirectory
          2.Instance method of  DirectoryInfo Create.

Before that Call  using System.IO;

Calling
                   CreateDirectory(@"C:\personal");

Method1   - Directory Static method

static void CreateDirectory(String dir)
{
    try
    {
        if (!Directory.Exists(dir))
        {
            DirectoryInfo dInfo = Directory.CreateDirectory(dir);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

Method 2 - DirectoryInfo Instance Method

static void CreateDirectory(String dir)
{
    try
    {
        if (!Directory.Exists(dir))
        {
            DirectoryInfo dd = new DirectoryInfo(dir);
            dd.Create();
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}

•  Creating already existing directory nothing will happen(no content will be erased).
• Directory name should contain volume label C:\ or D:\  otherwise Directory will be created in the current folder.  In order to get Current Directory  call Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()
