Today I was working with a code where I needed to check whether a physical directory exists or not and if not, then I had to create it. I decided to write a quick blog on this. Below is sample code to do the same:

        string path = "D:\\test";
        string basePath = Server.MapPath(path);

        if (!System.IO.Directory.Exists(basePath))
        {
            System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(basePath);
        }
Above with the help of Directory.Exists method I checked whether the directory exists or not and if not then I created the same with Directory.CreateDirectory method.
