FilePathGetDirectoryName Method

View Source

Parameters

filePath  String

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

Return Value

String
Directory information.

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.
