FilePathGetDirectoryName Method

Gets the directory information from the specified file path.

Definition

Namespace: Gemstone.IO
Assembly: Gemstone.Common (in Gemstone.Common.dll) Version: 1.0.147 -- Release Build+759c9d29b79c81f10905de8f58b653be932045f0
public static string GetDirectoryName(
	string filePath
)

Parameters

filePath  String
The file path from which the directory information is to be obtained.

Return Value

String
Directory information.

Remarks

This differs from GetDirectoryName(String) in that it will see if last name in path is a directory and, if it exists, will properly treat that part of path as a directory. The .NET path function always assumes last entry is a file name if path is not suffixed with a slash. For example: Path.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\Music") will return "C:\", however, FilePath.GetDirectoryName(@"C:\Music") will return "C:\Music\", so long as Music directory exists.
