The directory specified by path is read-only or is not empty.

The caller does not have the required permission.

ArgumentNullException

path is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

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.

DirectoryNotFoundException

The specified path is invalid, such as being on an unmapped drive.

NotSupportedException

Creating a directory with only the colon (:) character was attempted.

IOException

The directory specified by path is read-only or is not empty.

Use this method overload to create a directory with access control, so there is no chance the directory can be accessed before security is applied.

If the directory already exists, this method does nothing.
