Question

If i have the following directory structure:

Project1/bin/debug
Project2/xml/file.xml

I am trying to refer to file.xml from Project1/bin/debug directory

I am essentially trying to do the following:

string path = Environment.CurrentDirectory + @'..\..\Project2\xml\File.xml': 

what is the correct syntax for this?

Answer 1

It’s probably better to manipulate path components as path components, rather than strings:

string path = System.IO.Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory,                                       @'..\..\..\Project2\xml\File.xml');
