Get locale specific directory in My documents

Question

I have my custom application that generates a directory in My documents path, after installation the application uses that directory, but i got an issue in Chinese windows OS, where my application folder name appears in Chinese, so is there any way i can get the file name properly in "en" or some wordaround so that i can that directory name at runtime.

Answer 1

Use the special folders in System.Environment

var path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments); var subFolderPath = Path.Combine(path, "sub folder");
