CurDir Function
Returns a string representing the current path.
The My.Computer.FileSystem Object gives you greater productivity and performance in file I/O operations than CurDir. For more information, see My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory Property.
Public Overloads Function CurDir([ ByVal Drive As Char ]) As String
Parameters
- Drive
Optional. Char expression that specifies an existing drive. If no drive is specified, or if Drive is a zero-length string (""), CurDir returns the path for the current drive.
Exceptions
Exception type |
Error number |
Condition |
|---|---|---|
Drive is not found. |
||
Invalid Drive is specified. |
See the "Error number" column if you are upgrading Visual Basic 6.0 applications that use unstructured error handling. (You can compare the error number against the Number Property (Err Object).) However, when possible, you should consider replacing such error control with Structured Exception Handling Overview for Visual Basic.
Remarks
This function returns a string representing the current path.
