0	Hi Rohik, If you create a folder in Current Path means use string sPath = Environment.CurrentDirectory; else use system folder means string sPath = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments); to using above codes to get a path from system then to create a directory Refer this link... http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/7625-Directory-Create-Check-Delete-Using-C.aspx Get a files from that Folder...http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/bejoynair/FindFilesinCS12052005042702AM/FindFilesinCS.aspx Cheers :) Thanks, T.Saravanan Rohik, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

hi T.Saravanan,

thanks for reply. what you suggested is correct but it is not feasible if you want to run application on any PC.

so I want to make directory and copy files from \project\ to that bin\debug\ .
for that you need to run dos command after successful build
we can do this by project-->properties-->build events-->post build events --> write command
I am writing that command but some error like exited with code 1 or 4
my command is

if  not exist "$(TargetDir)DBXml" mkdir  "$(TargetDir)DBXml" copy  /y "$(ProjectDir) DbXml\*.*"  " $(TargetDir)DbXml" ;

where i am going wrong??

Plz help

Happy Programming!!
