How to get the directoryinfo object from knowing a pathname

[mperrego]

I have located the My Documents folder using the Environment.Get folderPath(Envi ronment.Special Folder.Personal ) call, yet this returns a string.

This returns a string which looks perfect yet I would like to pass the DirectoryInfo object of this path to a function.

Any ideas?

Thanks mike

perhaps by asking this question in the correct forum might be a good idea as you need VB.NET!
