Question

I am developing image extraction application in .net using C# in VS2010.
i have created a path ,where the image will be extracted.But this path is specific to my system.

        string image1 = "c:\\Users\\Raghu\\Desktop\\r.bmp";

I want a path which should be general i.e when the project will be deployed ,the output file should be extracted in Target Users desktop.

how create a folder on desktop and and all my extracted files goes in it.
Any ideas! please help me!!

Answer 1

Next code will return path to the desktop of current user:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);

So, in your case it would be

string desktop = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory);
string image1 = System.IO.Path.Combine(desktop, "r.bmp");
