Does directory exist?

(Note paths can include a filename if you wish)

	if (!Directory::Exists(Path::GetDirectoryName(MyFileName)))
	//or
	String ^path;
	path = "C:\\Atest\\";				//		'\\'='\'
	if (!Directory::Exists(path))
	//or
	if (!Directory::Exists("C:\\Atest\\"))	//		'\\'='\'

Create Directory

(Note paths can include a filename if you wish)

	Directory::CreateDirectory(Path::GetDirectoryName(MyFileName));
	//or
	String ^path;
	path = "C:\\Atest\\";				//		'\\'='\'
	Directory::CreateDirectory(path);
	//or
	Directory::CreateDirectory("C:\\Atest\\");	//		'\\'='\'

Delete Directory

	//----- DELETE FOLDER IF IT ALREADY EXISTS -----
	if (Directory::Exists("C:\\myfolder\\"))
	{
		try
		{
			array<String^> ^files = Directory::GetFiles("C:\\myfolder\\");
			for each (String ^sTemp in files)
			{
				try
				{
					if (File::Exists(sTemp))
					{
						//If file has read only attribute set clear it so that delete can occur
						if ((File::GetAttributes(sTemp) & FileAttributes::ReadOnly) == FileAttributes::ReadOnly)
							File::SetAttributes(sTemp, FileAttributes::Normal);

						File::Delete(sTemp);
					}
				}
				catch (IOException ^)
				{
					//Can't delete file
				}
			}
			Directory::Delete("C:\\myfolder\\", true);	//including true will cause subdirectories to be deleted

		}
		catch (IOException ^)
		{
			//Can't delete folder
		}
	}

Move Up 1 Subdirectory (when a directory no longer exists)

	//If last directory is not valid then try directory before it
	if (!Directory::Exists(Path::GetDirectoryName(LastFileDirectory)))
	{
		if (LastFileDirectory->LastIndexOf("\\") >= 0)
			LastFileDirectory = LastFileDirectory->Substring(0, (LastFileDirectory->LastIndexOf("\\")));		//Delete trailing '\'
		if (LastFileDirectory->LastIndexOf("\\") >= 0)
			LastFileDirectory = LastFileDirectory->Substring(0, (LastFileDirectory->LastIndexOf("\\") + 1));	//Delete directory name up to next '\'
	}

Get Directory Attributes

	 txtOutput->Text = "Name: " + dir->FullName + "\r\n";
	 txtOutput->Text += "Created: " + dir->CreationTime.ToShortDateString() +  " " + dir->CreationTime.ToLongTimeString();

Get List Of Files In A Directory

	String ^sTemp;
	array<String^> ^files = Directory::GetFiles(SelectedDirectory);
	for each(sTemp in files)
	{
		sTemp = sTemp->Substring(SelectedDirectory->Length + 1);
		txtFilesToConvert->Text += sTemp + "\r\n";
	}

Get List Of SubDirectories In A Directory

	String ^sTemp;
	array<string^> ^subDirs = Directory::GetDirectories(SelectedDirectory);
	for each(sTemp in subDirs)
	{
		sTemp = sTemp->Substring(SelectedDirectory->Length + 1);
		txtFilesToConvert->Text += sTemp + "\r\n";
	}

Delete Old Files In A Directory

	DateTime DeleteBeforeDateTime = DateTime::Now - TimeSpan(2, 0, 0, 0);		//Delete files > 2 days old
	array<String^> ^files = Directory::GetFiles("C:\\MyFolder\\");
	for each(sTemp in files)
	{
		if (File::GetCreationTime(sTemp) < DeleteBeforeDateTime)
		{
			try
			{
				if (File::Exists(sTemp))
				{
					//If file has read only attribute set clear it so that delete can occur
					if ((File::GetAttributes(sTemp) & FileAttributes::ReadOnly) == FileAttributes::ReadOnly)
						File::SetAttributes(sTemp, FileAttributes::Normal);

					File::Delete(sTemp);
				}
			}
			catch (IOException ^)
			{
				GlobalObjects::EventLog1->AddEvent(true, 0x00, "ExportVideoServer::ProcessTcpServerEvent can't delete old file: " + sTemp);
			}
		}
	}
