Newbie needs help with If statment

[Me63084]

Greetings all,

First of all I want you all to know that I'm very new to C# so I may not be doing this correctly.
I am using 2005 C# 2.0 .Net version

I am currently collecting data from a power monitor and storing that data into a SQL database.
What I would like to do is have C# create a folder with the folder name of Power Monitor and then create a subfolder of the current month as the folder name and within that subfolder, save the database file with the day as the file name.

I have that part working (at least I think I do). What I am needing help with is trying to make this automated so that once the program executes it will update/create these folders/files on its own.

My thinking is that I need to include an If statement within my program. I have researched and tried various ways but I can't seem to get it working properly. Here is the code I have so far:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Data.SqlClient;

namespace PowerMonitor
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{

System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection sqlConnection1 = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection
("data source=Chris\\SQLEXPRESS;initial catalog=Test;integrated security=SSPI;persist security info=False;workstation id=JOHN;packet size=4096");

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();

}
public void Main()
{
DateTime now = DateTime.Now;

DateTime lastDayofCurrentMonth = new DateTime(DateTime.Today.Year,
DateTime.Today.Month, DateTime.DaysInMonth(DateTime.Today.Year,
DateTime.Today.Month));


lblDate2.Text = lastDayofCurrentMonth.ToString("MMM d yyyy");

// Specify a "currently active folder"
string activeDir = @"c:\PowerMonitor";

// Creates a new subfolder under the current active folder for the current month
string newPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(activeDir, now.ToString("MMM yyyy"));

// Create the subfolder
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(newPath);

// Create a new file name.

string newFileName = now.ToString("dddd d");
lblDate.Text = newFileName.ToString();

// Combine the new file name with the path
newPath = System.IO.Path.Combine(newPath, newFileName);

// Create the file and write to it.
// DANGER: System.IO.File.Create will overwrite the file
// if it already exists.

if (!System.IO.File.Exists(newPath))
{
using (System.IO.FileStream fs = System.IO.File.Create(newPath))
{
for (byte i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
fs.WriteByte(i);
}
}

}
// Read data back from the file to prove
// that the previous code worked.

try
{
byte[] readBuffer = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(newPath);
foreach (byte b in readBuffer)
{
Console.WriteLine(b);
}
}
catch (System.IO.IOException e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
}
}


private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string selectRunCMD = "SELECT SUM(Raw_Current_Input) AS Value from Test";
SqlDataAdapter selectRunAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter(selectRunCMD, sqlConnection1);
DataTable selectRunTbl = new DataTable();
sqlConnection1.Open();
selectRunAdapter.Fill(selectRunTbl);
sqlConnection1.Close();
DataRow selectDataRow = selectRunTbl.Rows[0];
decimal data = decimal.Parse(selectDataRow["Value"].ToString());
lblData.Text = data.ToString();
Main();

}
}
}

Thanks for any advice/help in advance.

Chris
