Get files from custom folder inside C# project

问题:

First time poster (and newbie).

I've created a C# winform application. I've added a "Documents" folder in which I've added 5 PDF files.

From within my Form1, I've added a button and inside the button click event, I'm trying to get the files from that "Documents" folder.

I've googled around and found stuff like this:

string[] arr = Directory.GetFiles(string path);

But I do not wish to "hardcode" the path of my "Documents" folder. I'd like to know if there's a way (more dynamic) to obtain the path of my "Documents" folder.

I've also found these:

string path1 = Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath);
string path2 = Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location);

But they always bring me to my \bin\Debug folder.

I'll take all the help I can get! Thanks!

回答1:

Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration you mean?

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments)

Or am I misreading the question?

EDIT

I guess I did misread, my apologies. Try this:

string documents = Path.Combine(
                     Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.ExecutablePath),
                     "Documents"
                   );

This is also assuming you're including the items from the "documents" folder as resources so the executable will be able to see them.

You will either have to tell Visual Studio to copy the files to output or, as i would probably do it, have them reside in %APPDATA%
