Question

i am new to C# how can i set file path to project files
i have tried these but it gives default windows file path how to do that?

  sfdlg.InitialDirectory = Application.StartupPath + @"..\..\";
    Application.StartupPath---> is my excutable file path. from this path to come back two `root folders` i use `@"..\..\"`

is there any way to get back to Two root folders?

Answer 1

You have inverted the path specifications – the .. should be at the start of the path (assuming no drive name is there).

A safe way to use paths is to use them with the Path class:

Path.Combine(Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, ".."), "..");

The above should do the trick.
