I have a string relating to a location on a network and I need to get the directory that is 2 up from this location.
The string could be in the format:
string networkDir = "\\\\networkLocation\\staff\\users\\username";
In which case I would need the staff folder and could use the following logic:
string parentDir1 = Path.GetDirectoryName(networkDir);
string parentDir2 = Path.GetPathRoot(Path.GetDirectoryName(networkDir));
However, if the string is in the format:
string networkDir = "\\\\networkLocation\\users\\username";
I would just need the networkLocation part and parentDir2 returns null.
How can I do this?
Just to clarify: In the case that the root happens to be the directory 2 up from the given folder then this is what I need to return
