You wrote:

System.IO.DirectoryInfo dI= new DirectoryInfo(@"c:/mydir/mysubdir");

I believe that should be

System.IO.DirectoryInfo dI= new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\mydir\mysubdir");

Use backslashes no slashes. Also I suggest you'd check the static methods of Directory class. No need to instantiate a DI object.

First of all, please use a descriptive topic for your post next time, instead of "urgent". You'll likely get more replies if you stick with a descriptive topic.

In order to help you diagnose your problem, can you tell us what isn't working? Have you setup a debug breakpoint in the code to see whether the directory already exists?

Turn the slashes the right way.
System.IO.DirectoryInfo dI= new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\mydir\mysubdir");

Hopefully a quick one!!!

How can you get a menu to work like radio buttons, ie, you check 1 and all the others in the sub menu uncheck?

An example is the view --> arrange icons by --> (name, size, type, modified) in an file explorer window.

I could do it manually but was just wondeing if i am overlooking a property that will do it for me!!!

TIA

I am using String.Format("{0 Blush | :O

,0}",variable) to format numbers with thousands separators the point is if I have an integer value of 0 I always get 00 as a result so is there a way to avoid this?

You can't. Remember, your web app runs on the server, not the client.

The only workaround I can think of is having a front page that displays your "splash screen", then redirects to you actual main page.

Hi,

I am bulding a Windows application through C# and I want to integrate that with ActiveDirectory(AD), also i want users(not part of AD) to login into my application. that i have done with a simple .mdb. but i want my AD users to simply double Click my Application and get started. How can i do this in C#? I mean how can i authenticate those users(I can not ask them for password).

Also, I have alredy added some 40 around forms. and i want those forms to be launched if the user is of a specific type(for ex: Admin,Site Admin,General User.. etc). How can i put the minimum amount of code within these froms so that i need not change the whole code. Confused | :confused:

Please advice.

Thanks In Advance
