Using SPFolder SharePoint Object

SPFolder is one of the SharePoint object and it is a folder in the SharePoint list.To access 

an SPFolder object, first we need to retrieve an SPListItem object and use

the Folder property of that "SPListItem" which will return an SPFolder if the list item is a folder,

or else it  will returns null. 

Following are some of the properties which SPFolder exposed.
