Hi,
I am working on a project in which I have to read the size on 'Memory Dumps' and also remove these. I tried to get the path from registries but it giving error of "File not found" , in this thing I need your help. Is there any method to detect 'Memory Dumps' and remove those 'Memory Dumps'. If there is any way then please help me.

This is the code snippet which I tried

C#

RegistryKey dump = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl");
            string MiniDump=Path.GetFileName( Path.GetFullPath(dump.GetValue("MinidumpDir").ToString()));
            string mini = Path.GetFileName(Path.GetFileName(Path.GetFullPath(dump.GetValue("MinidumpDir").ToString())));
            string DumpFile = Path.GetFileName(Path.GetFullPath(dump.GetValue("DumpFile").ToString()));
            FileInfo fd = new FileInfo(Path.GetFileName(Path.GetFullPath(dump.GetValue("MinidumpDir").ToString())));

Thank you.

This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.

OK, so you have added your code, but you still have not expalined what happens when you run it. Presumably you want to get a list of files from that directory and delete them, so I would suggest you try http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/07wt70x2(v=vs.110).aspx. I would also strongly advise you to add code to check the results of your library calls to check whether you get valid response or not. alternatively use trycatch blocks.

Thanks Richard, but I have already seen it and it is not so useful for me.

Well your question lacked any useful detail to give a better answer. If you want technical help then you need to be very specific and detailed about your problem. It is no good saying but it giving error of "File not found", since you have not shown the code that produces this error.
