By On February 2, 2007 · 3 Comments

Once you know it you’ll probably never forget it…but wait, this is the second time I’ve googled for this. I’d best post how you “get the Windows temporary directory using C#“!

string tempPath =
    System.IO.Path.GetTempPath();

    do you know how to replace the double backslash from the path string for single slash? I tried wuth .Replace method without succed… I need it for locate a file in my aplication

      Double backslash will escape to a single backslash.

      e.g. “c:\” will become “c:”

      To keep the double backslash you need to precede the string with an @ to stop the backlash being escaped.

      e.g. @”c:\”

      If you want to replace slashes in a string the following would work:

      string newValue = “c:\tempsomething”.Replace(@”");

      newValue should then have a value of “c:tempsomething”.
