Directory.GetDirectoryRoot( path )
A valid path to a directory
A String containing the name of the root directory of path
Returns the name of the root directory of the drive on which path resides ( assuming that path is valid). For example, the code:
Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("c:\program files\accessories")
returns the string C:\ as the root directory.
path can be either an absolute path (a complete path from the root directory to the target directory) or a relative path (starting from the current directory to the target directory).
path can be either a path on the local system, the path of a mapped network drive, or a UNC path. For example, the code:
Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("\Pentium\C\AFolder")
returns \\Pentium\C , and if the folder \\Pentium\C\AFolder maps to the network drive Z, then:
Directory.GetDirectoryRoot("Z:\temp")
returns Z:\ .
path cannot contain wildcard characters .
