| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | path does not specify a valid file path or contains invalid DirectoryInfo characters. |
| ArgumentNullException | path is null. |
| DirectoryNotFoundException | The specified path is invalid, such as being on an unmapped drive. |
| IOException | The subdirectory cannot be created. -or- A file or directory already has the name specified by path. |
| PathTooLongException | The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters. The specified path, file name, or both are too long. |
| SecurityException | The caller does not have code access permission to create the directory. -or- The caller does not have code access permission to read the directory described by the returned DirectoryInfo object. This can occur when the path parameter describes an existing directory. |
| NotSupportedException | path contains a colon character (:) that is not part of a drive label ("C:\"). |
Any and all directories specified in path are created, unless some part of path is invalid. The path parameter specifies a directory path, not a file path. If the subdirectory already exists, this method does nothing.
