Using Environmental Variables in Visual-Studio C# Properties

Question

I would like to use an environmental path variable in the Visual Studio C# properties pages to set the "Output path".

$(MYDIR) does not work. The Path becomes C:\\....\\release\\$(MYDIR) . It works perfectly in the C++ properties page.

Question: How can I use a path variable in the C# properties page.

Thank you.

Answer 1

Use SubString() method to extract the path

  string path = @"C:\\....\\release\\$(MYDIR)"; string root = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf('\\\\')); string folder = path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf('\\\\') + 1);
