    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    
    Public ReadOnly Property RootFolder As AbstractFolder
    'Usage
     
    
    Dim instance As FileSystemItem
    Dim value As AbstractFolder
     
    value = instance.RootFolder
    public AbstractFolder RootFolder {get;}

    Property Value

    An AbstractFolder object that represents the folder at the root of the path of this item, or NULL if a rootfolder is not available.
    Remarks

    A root folder represents the starting point of a folder hierarchy. On a physical disk, it is usually represented by a drive letter ("C:\") or UNC root ("\\server\share\").

    Some specializations of the AbstractFolder class may define a specialized class that represents a root folder, exposing properties and methods that apply only to a root.

    Therefore, the RootFolder property may return an AbstractFolder instance that is in fact a specialized class representing the root.

    If the current item is the root of a folder hierarchy, the RootFolder property returns a reference to itself, or a reference to a specialized object that represents the root folder with more details.

    If a root folder is not available, the RootFolder property returns NULL.
