creating folder in C on windows

Question

Using Visual Studio 2008 C++, how can I create a folder using code. For some reason, a simple CreateDirectory isn't working.

Answer 1

Are you by any chance trying to create a folder in your Visual Studio solution? If so, you could use code to do that, but you still have to right click the solution and add existing items.

Answer 2

All I'm trying to do is create a folder. Nothing special. This code won't work.

#include <Windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
CreateDirectory("c:\\dirn.txt");
}

It gives this error:

error C2660: 'CreateDirectoryW' : function does not take 1 arguments
