I would like to cut last slash and corresponding file or folder given path in string variable (called pathVar)
For example, if pathVar = "c:\temp\a\b\c"
I would like to assign to newPathVar = "c:\temp\a\b"
What is the easier and best way in c# to do that?

You can use Path.GetDirectoryName for that.

How do i get the path name from a file shortcut ? Getting exception [duplicate]
(1 answer)
Closed 7 years ago.
I have a file in the folder like "c:\a\abc.mdb"
Sometimes someone could move it to somewhere else and leave a shortcut like "c:\a\abc.mdb.lnk".
In that case when I call IO.File.Exists(#"c:\a\abc.mdb") it still return true. In that case how can I verify if the real file exists, or whether the situation is:
abc.mdb exists only
abc.mdb.lnk exists only
or both of them exists?

You can use DirectoryInfo.EnumerateFiles to do this. And just give it the search pattern.

How do I read the modify date of the file in C#?
I can read the creation date of the file by using the code below:
ModifyDate = File.GetCreationTime(FilePath)
File.GetLastWriteTime will do the job
I believe you're looking for GetLastWriteTime

Given a path c:\someFolder\**\*.exe. How can I get a list of files using this directory path. I know that one could use Directory.GetFiles(directoryPath) but this only works when there are no wildcard characters in directoryPath.
