Making folder and copying file

I want my application to look for a file in drive C's specific folder (say C:\myFolder\abc.mdb), if found just give a message if not, make the folder in drive C:\ and then copy the file.

How to do this? Thanks Furqan

I know this post is kind of old. I just wanted to update. The quickest shortcut that will also create the Destination directory structure and in one line. Use Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile instead of System.IO.

My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyFile(sSourcefile, sDestinationfile)

You could use the File, Directory, and Path objects in the System.IO as shown below:

Imports System.IO

...

Dim path As String = "C:\myFolder\abc.mdb"

If File.Exists(path) Then
     'TODO write code to create message'
Else
     Dim folder As String = Path.GetDirectoryName(path)
     If Not Directory.Exists(folder) then
         Directory.CreateDirectory(folder)
     End If
     'TODO code to copy file from current location to the newly created directory path'
     'i.e. File.Copy(FileToCopy, NewCopy)'
End If
