RemotePath.GetDirectoryName Method
Returns the directory information for the specified remote/*nix path string.
Syntax
C#
public static string GetDirectoryName(string path)
VB.NET
Public Shared Function GetDirectoryName(path As String) As String
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| string path | Path to retrieve directory information from. |
Return Value
Directory information for path, or null if path denotes a root directory or is null.
Exceptions
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| ArgumentException | path is empty.1 |
Remarks
In most cases, the string returned by this method consists of all characters in the path up to but not including the last slash (/).
The method is an equivalent of the standard Path.GetDirectoryName method for remote/*nix paths.
- Note that this behaviour is inconsistent with
Path.GetDirectoryNamein .NET Core 2.1 and newer, which instead returnsnull.Back
