How can I declare the path \My Documents using an identifier to avoid the following

string path= @"\My Documents"

?

Aris,

Check out the OpenNETCF.EnvironmentEx class. It has the GetFolderPath
method which will allow you to do something like this:

string path =
EnvironmentEx.GetFolderPath(EnvironmentEx.SpecialFolder.Personal);

Alternatively, you can P/Invoke SHGetSpecialFolderPath yourself using
CSIDL_PERSONAL.

Note: this is not supported on Pocket PC 2002 or earlier.
