Question

I’m working on something that requires traversing through the file system and for any given path, I need to know how ‘deep’ I am in the folder structure. Here’s what I’m currently using:

int folderDepth = 0; string tmpPath = startPath;  while (Directory.GetParent(tmpPath) != null)  {     folderDepth++;     tmpPath = Directory.GetParent(tmpPath).FullName; } return folderDepth; 

This works but I suspect there’s a better/faster way? Much obliged for any feedback.

Answer 1

Off the top of my head:

Directory.GetFullPath().Split('\\').Length;
