Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
Remarks
Use the Folders property of the SPWeb class, or the Subfolders property of the SPFolder class, to return the collection of folders for a site or folder. To create a folder, use the Add method represented in the table above.
Use an indexer to return a single folder from the collection. For example, assuming the collection is assigned to a variable named myFolders, use myFolders[index] in C#, or myFolders(index) in Visual Basic .NET, where index is either the index number of the folder in the collection or the display name of the folder.
Example
The following code example copies all the subfolders of a Shared Documents document library, excluding the Forms subfolder, into another document library on the same site.
This example requires using directives (Imports in Visual Basic) for both the Microsoft.SharePoint and Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls namespaces.
