Examples
The following example shows how to get the folder that has the specified absolute path in the file system by calling the GetFolderFromPathAsync method.
using Windows.Storage;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
// Get the path to the app's Assets folder.
string root = Windows.ApplicationModel.Package.Current.InstalledLocation.Path;
string path = root + @"\Assets";
// Get the folder object that corresponds to this absolute path in the file system.
StorageFolder folder = await StorageFolder.GetFolderFromPathAsync(path);
IAsyncAction MainPage::ExampleCoroutineAsync()
{
// Get the path to the app's Assets folder.
std::wstring path{ Windows::ApplicationModel::Package::Current().InstalledLocation().Path() + L"\\Assets" };
// Get the folder object that corresponds to this absolute path in the file system.
Windows::Storage::StorageFolder folder{ co_await Windows::Storage::StorageFolder::GetFolderFromPathAsync(path) };
::OutputDebugString(folder.Name().c_str());
}
// Get the path to the app's installation folder.
String^ root = Windows::ApplicationModel::Package::Current->InstalledLocation->Path;
// Get the folder object that corresponds to
// this absolute path in the file system.
create_task(StorageFolder::GetFolderFromPathAsync(root)).then([=](StorageFolder^ folder){
String^ output = folder->Name;
OutputDebugString(output->Begin());
});
