My Documents Folder

Hi
I would like to get the path to the My Docuemnts Folder so I can list all
the files / folders in a TreeView.

Thanks John

John,

Call the static GetFolderPath method on the Environment class. Pass the
value of SpecialFolder.MyDocuments as the parameter.

Hope this helps.

John,

Look at Environment.GetFolderPath with parameter
Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal

Look also at the rest of Environment.SpecialFolder values you may find one
that could be more appropriate

John,

Just a little clarification.

SpecialFolder.MyDocuments is not defined in .NET 1.x. SpecialFolder.Personal
is defined in both .NET1.x and .NET 2.0.
Both of them has the same numeric value.

Thanks for all the help. The
Environment.GetFolderPath(SpecialFolder.MyDocument s); did the trick.
