I'm trying to create a folder using the two methods below.

Method 1

if (directoryInfo.Exists)
{
    directoryInfo.CreateSubdirectory(ddlCat.SelectedItem.Text);
    Label1.Text = "Directory " + ddlCat.SelectedItem.Text + " Created";
}

Method 2

var folder = Server.MapPath("~/UploadImages/" + ddlCat.SelectedItem.Text);

if (!Directory.Exists(folder))
{
    DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(folder);
}

Where ddlCat is a dropdownlist.

before executing the code, I modified the permission of the folder to Full for the current user. However, I'm still getting this error:

UnauthorisedAccessException was unhandled by the user code Access to the path 'Accessories' is denied.

The folder in which I'm creating subfolder is "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\xyz\UploadImages"

Can someone please guide me?

    Access denied is usually access denied. Have you verified that the app pool account has the appropriate permissions to that directory? – Steve Andrews Mar 25 '14 at 09:43
