public AbstractFolder RootFolder {get;}

Property Value

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 a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

Target Platforms: Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
