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?

Answer 1

Other simple way is to do this:

string path = @"C:\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4";
string newPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(path, @"..\..\"));

Note This goes two levels up. The result would be: newPath = @"C:\Folder1\Folder2\";
