CurrentUserApplicationData and version changes

[BKQc]

Hi,
I'm doing a WPF application that uses

My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData

to store a local xml database. When you use this function, the path returned uses formating

String.Format("{0}\{1}\{2}\{3}", basePath, CompanyName, ProductName, ProductVersion)

Anyone knows to handle this when changing version number and needing to keep old data?

Thanks!

If there is data that you need to keep across versions, you could put it in the ProductName folder. Then you don't need to worry about the version directories.

Yeah, I agree but I thought maybe there was a reason I was missing that explained while it defaults to that pattern *using version number). But if there's not, you're right I could use

Io.Path.Combine(My.Computer.FileSystem.SpecialDirectories.CurrentUserApplicationData, "..")
