c# - Get full path without filename from path that includes filename

Question

Is there anything built into System.IO.Path that gives me just the filepath?

For example, if I have a string

@"c:webserverpublicmyCompanyconfigspromo.xml",

is there any BCL method that will give me

"c:webserverpublicmyCompanyconfigs"?

Answer 1

Path.GetDirectoryName()... but you need to know that the path you are passing to it does contain a file name; it simply removes the final bit from the path, whether it is a file name or directory name (it actually has no idea which).

You could validate first by testing File.Exists() and/or Directory.Exists() on your path first to see if you need to call Path.GetDirectoryName
