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));
