Staying in managed code, what is the best way to get the temp directory
in C# .NET programming? I'm currently using this:

public static String GetTempDir()
{
return Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP");
}

I wonder, is there a better solution? This one feels a little system and
OS dependant to me.

Thanks.

Hi Charlie,

You could try the GetTempPath() static method in the Path class
in the System.IO namespace.

String tempFolderPath = Path.GetTempPath();
