To get an environment variable in C#, you can use the Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable
method. It takes the name of the variable as a string and returns its value as a string. Here's an example:
string path = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH"); Console.WriteLine(path);
To set an environment variable in C#, you can use the Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable
method. It takes the name of the variable and its value as strings. Here's an example:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("MY_VAR", "my_value");
Note that changes made to environment variables are process-specific and do not affect the system-wide environment variables.
