In this article, we would like to show you how to create multiple subfolders in C#.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
directory/
  |
  +-- subDirectory1/
  |
  +-- subDirectory2/
  |
  +-- subDirectoryN/

Practical example

Edit

In this example, we use CreateDirectory() method inside a for loop to create multiple subfolders.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
using System;
using System.IO;
​
public static class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string path = @"C:\directory";
​
        try
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
            {
                string subdirectoryPath = path + "\\subdirectory_" + i;
​
                if (!Directory.Exists(subdirectoryPath))
                {
                    DirectoryInfo dir = Directory.CreateDirectory(subdirectoryPath);
                    Console.WriteLine("The directory {0} was created successfully.", subdirectoryPath);
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString());
        }
    }
}

Output:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
The directory C:\directory\subdirectory_0 was created successfully.
The directory C:\directory\subdirectory_1 was created successfully.
The directory C:\directory\subdirectory_2 was created successfully.
