Environment variables in C#

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.

  1. C# get environment variable value: Getting the value of an environment variable in C#.

    string variableValue = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName");
    
  2. Setting environment variables in C#: Setting the value of an environment variable in C#.

    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName", "YourVariableValue");
    
  3. Accessing system environment variables in C#: Accessing system-level environment variables in C#.

    string systemPath = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("Path", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Machine);
    
  4. Environment variable substitution in C#: Performing environment variable substitution in C#.

    string pathWithVariable = $"YourPath;{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName")}";
    
  5. Using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables in C#: Using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables to retrieve all environment variables in C#.

    var allVariables = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariables();
    
  6. Get specific environment variable in C#: Getting the value of a specific environment variable in C#.

    string specificVariableValue = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName");
    
  7. Reading and modifying environment variables in C#: Reading and modifying environment variables in C#.

    // Reading
    string variableValue = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName");
    
    // Modifying
    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName", "NewValue");
    
  8. C# getenv equivalent for environment variables: Equivalent of getenv in C# for retrieving environment variable values.

    string variableValue = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName");
    
  9. Environment variable case sensitivity in C#: Understanding environment variable case sensitivity in C#.

    // Case-sensitive retrieval
    string variableValue = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName");
    
    // Case-insensitive retrieval (if needed)
    string variableValueIgnoreCase = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("YourVariableName", EnvironmentVariableTarget.Process);
