Visual Basic 2005 in a Nutshell (In a Nutshell (OReilly))

Class

Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileSystem

Syntax

CurDir([drive])

drive (optional; String or Char)

The letter of the drive (A to Z) from which to return the current directory

Description

The CurDir function returns the current directory of a particular drive or of the default drive.

Usage at a Glance

• If no drive is specified or if drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current working (default) drive.

• Since CurDir only considers the first letter of the drive string, it's not possible to supply a UNC path (such as \\ServerName\ShareName).

Version Differences

Visual Basic 2005 includes a My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory property that provides related functionality.
