Could you add expected value to the question? Is it `Template\bin\file\file.xml`? If true, then it sounds like you are trying to get relative path (relative to `CustomCompanyNames`). — Sinatr, Oct 24 '16 at 08:31
Expected value ist: CustomCompanyNames, i dont need the relativ path :) — Muhammed Misir, Oct 24 '16 at 08:41

If you want to get for a specific file the parent directory of "Template" directory you can try this:

public string GetTemplateDirectoryParentName(string filePath)
{
    FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(filePath);
    DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = fileInfo.Directory;
    while(directoryInfo.Name != "Tempalte")
    {
        direcotryInfo = direcotryInfo.Parent;
    }
    return direcotryInfo.Parent.Name;
}

You can do it the other way by getting the child directory of "Custom" directory:

public string GetTemplateDirectoryParentName(string filePath)
{
    FileInfo fileInfo = new FileInfo(filePath);
    DirectoryInfo directoryInfo = fileInfo.Directory;
    while(directoryInfo.Parent.Name != "Custom")
    {
        direcotryInfo = direcotryInfo.Parent;
    }
    return direcotryInfo.Name;
}

You have typos in your second block. – stigzler Jun 21 '20 at 17:52 — stigzler, Jun 21 '20 at 17:52
