Where is Enviroment.SpecialFolders ?????????

[Tim Nelson]

Trying to get the path to My Documents and I can't seem to find the
Environment.SpecialFolders enumeration. Environment.GetFolderPath is
there ... is there some other assembly/DLL that I must reference?

It's defined inside the Environment class, in the mscorlib.dll, which is
loaded automatically. The following works for me.

public static void Main()
{

Console.WriteLine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Person
al));
}

Hi Tim,

Framework 1.0 & 1.1 has System.Environment.SpecialFolders enum.
This enum is a subtype of System.Environment.
Maybe your VS has problems with intellisense but you should be
able to compile code that use it.

AFAIK there are some differences betweed this enum in 1.0 vs 1.1
..NET Framework, so look in your docs.

Cheers!
