Create folder without read only attribute in C#

c#, file

Solution

To create a directory:

DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(path);

From MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/54a0at6s%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

If you wish to explicitly set access controls:

DirectorySecurity securityRules = new DirectorySecurity();
securityRules.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule("Users", FileSystemRights.FullControl, AccessControlType.Allow));

DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(@"C:\destination\NewDirectory", securityRules);

Problem

I am trying to create a folder from my app in 'c:\' folder(eg:c\), but this folder is always created with "read-Only" permission. I have tried the below codes but still unable to change the attributes. Please help me., Method 1 ``` var di = new DirectoryInfo(temppath); File.SetAttributes(temppath, FileAttributes.Normal); File.SetAttributes(temppath, FileAttributes.Archive); */ ``` Method 2 ``` di.Attributes = di.Attributes | ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly; File.SetAttributes(temppath, File.GetAttributes(temppath) & ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly); ``` Method 3 ``` foreach (string fileName in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(temppath)) { System.IO.FileInfo fileInfo = new System.IO.FileInfo(fileName); fileInfo.Attributes |= System.IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly; // or fileInfo.IsReadOnly = false; } ``` all these methods are not working or just changing the attributes of file and not folder.
