SpecialFolder Path

Environment Class provides information about current environment and platform that we are using. If we want to use some special folder path  that are created on the time of operating system installation such as Program Files, Programs, History  CommonProgramFiles  ApplicationData  or MyMusic, we can use GetFolderpath method of Environment class of System namespace . GetFolderpath method returns the path to the system special folder identified by the specified enumeration.

Example:

Dim FolderPath As String
= Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData)               

GetFolderPath.JPG                                                                             

                                                                                                                                
Folder Name enumerations


Application Executable Path

If we want to know application execution path than we can use StartupPath property of Application object.

Dim FolderName As String = Application.StartupPath
