How to get the path two folders above the running application?

Question

ASP.NET

There is a folder with an exe file, which, for example, I get with -Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().
How can I get a link to the two folders above this file?

Answer 1

I think it's better to use the built-in language tools - in this case, the Directory.GetParent method called twice. Either cast the path to DirectoryInfo (or FileInfo) and look at the Parent property (called twice)

string dir = @"X:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\Dir4\Dir5\Dir6";

//1
Console.WriteLine(Directory.GetParent(
                                Directory.GetParent(dir).FullName).FullName);

 //2
DirectoryInfo dir2 = new DirectoryInfo(dir);
Console.WriteLine(dir2.Parent.Parent.FullName);
