Ok, let’s work on this code a little. First let’s simplify building the paths. We have a network path and<\/strong> a local path. According to your current code the network path is built with a few variables comboBox1<\/code>, comboBox2<\/code>, and Environment.UserName<\/code>, so let’s do it a little different:<\/p>\n

var networkPath = Path.Combine(@\"\\\\network\",\n    comboBox1.SelectedItem as string,\n    comboBox2.SelectedItem as string,\n    Environment.UserName);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
that’s going to place the \\<\/code> in between each of those strings properly (i.e. if there were already a back slash it wouldn’t add one, but would if necessary).<\/p>\n
Now let’s do the same for the local path:<\/p>\n
var localPath = Path.Combine(@\"C:\\Users\",\n    Environment.UserName,\n    \"test\",\n    label5.Text);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
ok, we’re almost there, but we also have an alternative network path:<\/p>\n
var alternativeNetworkPath = Path.Combine(@\"\\\\atlanta2-0\\it-documents\\filestroage\",\n    comboBox1.SelectedItem as string,\n    comboBox2.SelectedItem as string,\n    Environment.UserName,\n    label5.Text);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
now, one thing about this path that’s already suspect to me is this, \\filestroage<\/code>, that’s actually spelled wrong. Now, if the folder is spelled that way fine, but I’m wondering if it’s spelled wrong. So just take a look. Alright, let’s continue on, now we have all three paths built, it’s a little easier to read, and we can easily output those strings to ensure<\/strong> they are right. Let’s take a look at the logic. It says this, if the networkPath<\/code> exists then save it there<\/strong>, however, if it does not exist then create it and save it to the alternativeNetworkPath<\/code>.<\/strong> So let’s do that:<\/p>\n
if (Directory.Exists(networkPath))\n{\n    File.Copy(localPath, networkPath);\n}\nelse\n{\n    Directory.CreateDirectory(networkPath);\n    File.Copy(localPath, alternativeNetworkPath);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
alright, simple enough yes? But you stated that the Directory.Exists<\/code> is returning true even if it exists<\/code>. That’s pretty much expected isn’t it? If the directory exists then this method would certainly return true<\/code>, if not then it would return false<\/code>. You then stated with the Directory.CreateDirectory<\/code> that The line above says the network name cannot be found<\/code> – that can only mean that the path was constructed wrong.<\/strong><\/p>\n
So after breaking it down, the bottom line is this, the paths being constructed have to be off a tidge. However, with this new model you should be able to pull those paths out a lot easier.<\/em><\/strong> So the entire method, in my mind, would look something like this:<\/p>\n
var networkPath = Path.Combine(@\"\\\\network\",\n    comboBox1.SelectedItem as string,\n    comboBox2.SelectedItem as string,\n    Environment.UserName);\n\nvar localPath = Path.Combine(@\"C:\\Users\",\n    Environment.UserName,\n    \"test\",\n    label5.Text);\n\nvar alternativeNetworkPath = Path.Combine(@\"\\\\atlanta2-0\\it-documents\\filestroage\",\n    comboBox1.SelectedItem as string,\n    comboBox2.SelectedItem as string,\n    Environment.UserName,\n    label5.Text);\n\nif (Directory.Exists(networkPath))\n{\n    File.Copy(localPath, networkPath);\n}\nelse\n{\n    Directory.CreateDirectory(networkPath);\n    File.Copy(localPath, alternativeNetworkPath);\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
and so now let’s have a look at those paths in those variables and your problem should come right out.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
