Hi,

I am struggling with the following issue, i need to copy files from
one place to another...well that isn't so hard..but i also need to
create the folder(s) in which the file orginaly was located. I have a
listbox from where the user can select the files he or she wants to
copy.

So it could be that while there are more then one file in a particular
folder the user only selects one..so i cannot copy the intire
directory and al its subfolders.

Any one got any idea?

Tnx!
Martijn

This seems to help my me...totally different approach but it works

string filename = @"D:\_Test\_Documentatie\DigiBox\";
string drive = _regex.Match(filename).Result("${drive}");
string folderstr =
filename.Substring(filename.IndexOf(@"\"), filename.Length - 2);

if(!Directory.Exists(@"D:\_Test\" + drive + "\\" +
folderstr))
Directory.CreateDirectory(@"D:\_Test\" + drive + "\\" +
folderstr);
