c# - How to navigate a few folders up?

Question

One option would be to do System.IO.Directory.GetParent() a few times. Is there a more graceful way of travelling a few folders up from where the executing assembly resides?

What I trying to do is to find a text file that resides one folder above the application folder. But the assembly itself is inside the bin, which is a few folders deep in the application folder.

Answer 1

Other simple way is to do this:

string path = @"C:Folder1Folder2Folder3Folder4";
string newPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path, @"...."));

Note This goes two levels up. The result would be: newPath = @"C:Folder1Folder2";
