Change the parent of a folder

This example demonstrates how to change the folder parent by specifying the folder and the new parent: ```C# using Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Libraries;

namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Documentation.CodeSnippets.DevGuide.SitefinityEssentials.Modules.MediaModules.Folders.ManagingFolders { public partial class FoldersSnippets { public static void ChangeFolderParent() { //gets an isntance of the LibrariesManager var manager = LibrariesManager.GetManager();

        //creates an image album
        var imagesAlbum = manager.CreateAlbum();
        imagesAlbum.Title = "ImageAlbumTitle1";
        manager.SaveChanges();

        //creates a folder under the album
        var folder = manager.CreateFolder(imagesAlbum);
        var folderId = folder.Id;
        folder.Title = "ChildFolderTitle1";

        //creates another folder under the album
        var newParent = manager.CreateFolder(imagesAlbum);
        var newParentId = newParent.Id;
        newParent.Title = "FolderTitle";
        manager.SaveChanges();

        //changes the parent of the folder
        manager.ChangeFolderParent(folder, newParent);
    }
}

}

In this example we create an album first by **CreateAlbum**method of LibrariesManager. For more information check [For developers: Create image libraries](slug://for-developers-create-image-libraries). Then we are creating two folders under the album by using **CreateFolder**method and the album as a parameter. For more info go to [For developers: Create folders inside libraries](slug://for-developers-create-folders-inside-libraries). Finally we are changing the parent of the first folder to become the other folder instead of the album.This is achieved by the **ChangeFolderParent** method where the first parameter is the folder and the second is the new parent of the folder.
