Find the root directory without full path in C#

Question

Is their any way to find root directory without knowing the full path.

For example, I'm having Folder\subfolder I want to find the root directory like c:\, d:\, e:\ in which that subfolder presents

I had tried by using DirectoryInfo("path").Root.Name, Path.GetPathRoot(path) but it doesn't works.

Answer 1

You first need to the full path and then the root of it:

 string path = ...
 string root = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Path.GetFullPath(path));

Answer 2

Try:

string result = Path.GetPathRoot(Path.GetFullPath("MyPath"));

This uses the current working directory (which is the only way that you can convert a relative path to a full path - the relative path is always relative to the current working directory).
