How can we find windows Temp folder ?

[Mohammad Dayyan]

Hey guys. How can we find windows Temp folder in c# ? Like this :

C:\Documents and Settings\Mds\Local Settings\Temp

Thanks in advance.

System.IO.Path.GetTempPath() should about do it :)

Here you are: Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable Method[^]

The previous answer is correct and is what I use but (for the sake of completeness) there's also Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TEMP"); or Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP"); Didn't see Giorgi's answer till after posting as it was on the next page!

Thanks a lot DaveyM69. But I want to know is this correct :

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("temp");

[DaveyM69]

It works (tried on XP Pro SP3) so I guess the string parameter isn't case sensitive. They are saved however in upper case so it would be safer to pass it that way. You can see all the variables by opening control panel and selecting System (or right click My Computer and chose properties). On the Advanced tab click the Environment Variables button.
