Question

NET to create folder

I would like to create folder to save data and I would like to copy these data to other folder. However, whenever, I try to create folder and generate files I am getting Access to the path "path" is denied error

I tried to disable read-only option on the folder but it didn't work

I tried this way but it didn't work.

Save folder it under the folder in the Program Files and I am copying data to "C:RESULT"

however, it doesn't work .. i am not sure why....

can you help me how to create folder and copy data to new folder?

Private Sub createTimedFolder()
    Dim folder As String = Now.ToString("MM_dd_yyyy_hh_mm_ss")
    G_Folder = folder
    '  MsgBox(folder)
    If (Not System.IO.Directory.Exists(folder)) Then
        System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(folder)

    Else

    End If
    ' MsgBox(folder & " created ")
    Try
        'Set the current directory.
        Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(Path.Combine(defaultDir, folder))
    Catch e As DirectoryNotFoundException
        Console.WriteLine("The specified directory does not exist. {0}", e)
    End Try


    Dim LogBook = folder & "log.txt"
    logwriter = New System.IO.StreamWriter(LogBook)
End Sub

Here try this don't forget the Imports.

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Imports System.IO
    Private Sub CreateTimedFloder()
            'You may change C:\ to the location of the folder that 
            'you want to create.
            Dim Directory As String = "C:\" & DateTime.Now.ToString("MM_dd_yyyy") & "_" & DateTime.Now.ToString("hh_mm_ss")
            Dim CompletePath As String = Directory & "\"

            If Dir(Directory, vbDirectory) = "" Then
                MkDir(Directory)
            End If

            Dim LogBook = File.Create(CompletePath & "Log.txt")
            Dim logwriter As New System.IO.StreamWriter(LogBook)

            logwriter.Write("hello")
            logwriter.Close()

        End Sub

You have to give permission (Read,write for User) for particular directory. for example If You are creating directory in your application than you have to set permission on your application (Read,write)

It still doesn't work :(. If I ran software with VB 2012, then it is working but if i made installpackage and run sw, then It gives access error :(

What is the exact error and which line is throwing it?
