Saving Directories and File Folders

I have a program right now that I need to create specific folders at times to save data. How would I create them in Visual Studio 2008?

This is what I have so far:

Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Const FILE_NAME As String = "empty.txt"


Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim testfile As New FileInfo(FILE_NAME)
Dim name As String = TimeOfDay.Hour
Dim name2 As String = TimeOfDay.Minute
If Not testfile.Exists Then
testfile.Create()
MessageBox.Show("created")
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllText("C:\" & name & "\" & name2 & ".txt", TextBox1.Text, True)

Else
MessageBox.Show(testfile.FullName & "exists")
End If

End Sub
End Class

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't quite understand what you want. Do you need help with how directories are handled, or files?
However, here is something that may help you with files;

Here's something for directories;
