In this article, I am going to create a folder and also store file in this folder.

Strings are immutable. You can use String as an identifier. The contents of a string object cannot be changed after the object is created.

Path class used to perform operation on String instance that contain full path information of file or directory. GetFileName method returns the file name with extension of specified path to Path class.

AppDomain used as a container for code and date in .NET runtime. It is represented by AppDomain object. AppDomain is a virtual location in memory where a process runs.

AppDomain provide isolation, security and unloading boundaries for executing managed code. AppDomains are created using the CreateDomain method. AppDomain instances are used to load and execute assemblies. When an AppDomain is no longer in use, it can be unloaded.

Directory class expose methods to create, delete, EnumerateDirectories, EnumerateFiles, Exists, move etc. operations to directories and subdirectories.

Exists method use to check that directory or folder exists or not.

CreateDirectory method used to create directory, we can call CreateDirectory method directly from Directory class.

Code:
