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

If you know the folder you want to navigate to, find the index of it then substring.

            var ind = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().ToString().IndexOf("Folderame");

            string productFolder = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory().ToString().Substring(0, ind);
