FolderBrowserDialog - network access

Question

Hi, I am using a FolderBrowserDialog to allow the user to select a folder. This nicely allows the user to select network folders, and even provides a popup in case a username and password are required. 

When the FolderBrowserDialog returns, it has the selected-folder which my program can access.

Is it possible for my program to obtain any username and password the user may have entered?

Thanks.

First of all be sure that you are importing/using (depending on language) the System.IO namespace for this to work. But what you can do is something like this

string pathToCreate = "~/UserFolders/" + TextBox1.Text;

if(Directory.Exists(Server.MapPath(pathToCreate))

{

   //In here, start looping and modify the path to create to add a number

   //until you get the value needed

}

 

//Now you know it is ok, create it

Directory.CreateDirectory(Server.MapPath(pathToCreate));
