The Directory and DirectoryInfo classes are used to perform various operations
on directories such as Create, Move, Delete, and Enumerate. The functional
distinction between these classes is the same as that between the File and
FileInfo classes: the Directory class provides static methods whereas the
DirectoryInfo class provides instance methods to deal with directories. Below,
Table 6.2 compares these directory classes.
Table 6.2: Directory and DirectoryInfo class members
Like the FileInfo class, the DirectoryInfo class also has a single constructor
that takes either the full path or relative path to the directory as the input
parameter:
Dim
d1 As New
DirectoryInfo("c:\temp")
//Make a directory object
Some important properties of the DirectoryInfo class, such as CreationTime,
Exists, FullName, LastAccessTime, LastWriteTime, Name, Parent, and Root, work as
their names suggest. For example, CreationTime shows the creation time of the
directory. FullName is the full qualified path of the directory, while Name is
just the relative folder name without the path (e.g., a directory with the
FullName of c:\My Project\test would have a Name of test).
Conclusion
Hope this article would have helped you in understanding Directory and
DirectoryInfo Classes in VB.NET.
