This question already has an answer here:

How to get windows environment variabe in the C# code.

  1. I have a windows startup script to set the environment variables.
  2. I need to pass this variable to C# code..something like %var%

e.g. in the C# file, replace D:\ with %var%. The value of var is stored as an environment variable in windows.

Thanks

It's a duplicate, but why the downvotes without a comment for the OP? –  Paolo Tedesco Jun 13 '13 at 14:38
    
Aah, 3 down votes. LOL. Sorry, I am a Linux person, never worked on C#. Niether on Windows, so it could be a silly question for those who knows windows and C#. I have a small requirement to do this job. –  Shweta Chandrakar Jun 13 '13 at 14:44

Use the System.Environment class.

The method:

System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable()

and

System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable()

myvalue =  System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(nameofthedesiredVar);

This is the command.
