special-folders

My goal is to check, if DirectoryInfo.FullName is one of the special folders. Here is what I'm doing for this (Check directoryInfo.FullName to each special folder if they are equal): DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo("Directory path"); if (directoryInfo.FullName == Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Windows) || directoryInfo.FullName == Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ProgramFiles ||) ... ... ) { // directoryInfo is the special folder } But there are many special folders (Cookies, ApplicationData, InternetCache, etc.). Is there any way to do

I'm writing a Mono application and would like to find the full path of the Documents folder - e.g. /Users/johnsmith/Documents/ . What's the best way to achieve this? You can do this: string doc_path = Path.Combine (Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal), "Documents"); (Btw, for MonoTouch, It's just Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal) ). 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1933975/in-mono-how-do-i-get-the-path-to-the-documents-folder-on-a-mac-snow-leopard

In my app.config I put <appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender"> <file value="%programdata%/log-file.txt"/> but it didn't work. Any ideas? The log4net syntax for expanding environment variables is "${Variable}" e.g. <file value="${LOCALAPPDATA}\GojiSoft\GojiLog\log.txt" /> Resurrecting an old thread here, but I encountered the same issue and thought I'd share. ${PROGRAMDATA}, as discussed in the comment thread of the other answer, didn't work for me (same as for OP). However, I saw a comment somewhere about it being case sensitive. Tried ${ProgramData}

I need in a script to return the path to the current user desktop. Now I know you can do it with WScript. var WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell"); strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop"); But for my script this will not work as I cant use WScript. but I can use the shell.application object as below. dim objShell dim ssfWINDOWS dim objFolder ssfWINDOWS = 0 set objShell = CreateObject("shell.application") set objFolder = objshell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Example", 0, ssfWINDOWS) if (not objFolder is nothing) then Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self g_objIE.Document.All("logdir")

i want to to persist some filenames for the user (e.g. recent files). Let's use six example files: c:\Documents & Settings\Ian\My Documents\Budget.xls c:\Documents & Settings\Ian\My Documents\My Pictures\Daughter's Winning Goal.jpg c:\Documents & Settings\Ian\Application Data\uTorrent c:\Documents & Settings\All Users\Application Data\Consonto\SpellcheckDictionary.dat c:\Develop\readme.txt c:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader\WhatsNew.txt i'm now hard-coding path to special folders. If the user redirects their folders, roams to another computer, or upgrades their operating system, the paths will be

I have a Delphi 6 application that, like most Windows applications, reads/writes data to the user's "local application data" folder. I use the code below to determine that folder. Up until now, that code worked for most of my users. I have encountered a user whose local application data is not in the expected folder: C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\ Usually the local app data folder resolves to: C:\Documents and Settings\Bob\Application Data\ What is odd about this user's particular situation is that several registry keys normally found in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are actually located in HKEY_CURRENT

How can you access files in %appdata% through VB.NET? For example, C:\Users\Kuzon\AppData\Roaming\program . How would I access that file, but on another Windows 7 machine? Also, how would you do it on Windows XP? I believe it is %Application Data% . When you're writing .NET code, it's recommended that you use the functions explicitly designed for this purpose, rather than relying on environment variables such as %appdata% . You're looking for the Environment.GetFolderPath method , which returns the path to the special folder that you specify from the Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration . The
