VirtualPathUtility.GetDirectory Method
Assembly: System.Web (in system.web.dll)
If virtualPath is not rooted; that is, it does not equal the root operator (the tilde [~]), does not start with a tilde (~), such as a tilde and a slash mark (~/) or a tilde and a double backslash (~//), or does not start with a slash mark (/), an ArgumentException exception is thrown.
If the virtual path that is passed into the GetDirectory method is "/images/image1.gif", the returned directory is "/images".
The following code example demonstrates how to use the GetFileName, GetExtension, and GetDirectory methods.
Windows 98, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows Server 2003, Windows XP Media Center Edition, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, Windows XP SP2, Windows XP Starter Edition
