Finding Temp Folder

[Helen Warn]

Hi folks,

Any way to find the special Temp folder on the device? It doesn't appear in
the OpenNetCF SpecialFolder enum.

Thx

Helen

I suppose you can use GetTempFileName
Make sure to pass a non-zero 3rd param to avoid actual file creation. Once
you have a name, Path.GetDirectory gives you the path

Thanks Alex. I'll give it a try.

Cheers,

There is also a GetTempPath method which returns just the path of the
temporary files folder. This will be simpler to P/Invoke.

You know, I thought about it, but when I did search in the SDK headers,
somehow it did not come up, so I assumed it must be on the desktop only.
Yes, of course this one is more transparent
