I want to append a new directory to destination folder which is a network path

My network path is \\nup-234\TP\DD300\OLD
To this I need to append current year and month which means
\\nup-234\TP\DD300\OLD\2016\10 and then move the file to this.

What I have tried:

C#

if (File.Exists(oldpathname + "\\" + filename))
                   {
                       string s = newpathname + "\\" + filename;
                       File.Move(oldpathname + "\\" + filename, newpathname + "\\" + filename);

                   }

And? Did you maybe have a question you wanted to ask? Did you maybe forget to provide a description of any kind of a problem?

Solution 1

Use System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(newpathname) before the Move.

You don't need to check if it exists first, all directories specified in path are created if don't exists, if the directory already exists, CreateDirectory does nothing.

I hope I have answeres your "hidden" question.
