Hello, I am new to C# and can't seem to figure out why I cannot use Directory.CreateDirectory in the user control code attached.  I have used it many times in VB.

TIA,
Andrew

Have you?  According to that error the SiteInfintyWebApp.UserControls.Directory does not contain a method called CreateDirectory.  (You might have used a different class in VB)

Ok, I am confused...

using System.IO; allows for use of  Directory.CreateDirectory("TEST");

No?

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("TEST");

Yes - BUT that isn't what you were using.  Look at the error.  You might need to explicitly use System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory instead of Directory.CreateDirectory
