| Platform: | Visual Basic |
| Task: | Get the directory from a full file path |
| Discussion: | You have a full file path but you just need the directory part (i.e. you need the 'C:\temp' part of 'C:\temp\file.txt'). Use the System.IO.FileInfo. |
| Example: | Dim TheFile As System.IO.FileInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetFileInfo("C:\temp\file.txt")
Dim TheDirectory As String = TheFile.DirectoryName ' Get just the Directory segment of the pathname
