Creating copy of a file at one position up in the same folder/directory location

I have a Path;

\\\\username-txd\location\Configuration\MediaManagerConfig\Web.config

I want to create a copy of file at one position up in the same folder i.e.

\\\\username-txd\location\Configuration\Web.config

Can anyone help me with the code since I am new to C#

Solution

  • DirectoryInfo.Parent returns this MediaManagerConfig and you can do little bit string manupalition like;

    var di = new DirectoryInfo(@"\\\\username-txd\location\Configuration\MediaManagerConfig\Web.config");
Console.WriteLine(di.FullName.Replace(di.Parent.Name + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar, ""));

    Result will be;

    \\username-txd\location\Configuration\Web.config

    If you want 4 back slash based on your result, your can replace with \\ to \\\\ as well.
