Get folder name in specified directory?

There is a one folder located in a directory, lets say its in

C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

it's different on everyuser, for example 1rituum9.default named folder.

Tried this without any luck, it messages empty.

Dim filepath As String = "%Appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"
Dim fi As New IO.FileInfo(filepath)
MessageBox.Show(fi.Name)

What is the correct way to get the folder name in specified directory ?

You can try this:

Dim filepath As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("appdata") & "\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\"
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo(filepath)
MessageBox.Show(di.GetDirectories()(0).Name)

if there are more than one dirs u might need something like:

For Each Dir As IO.DirectoryInfo In di.GetDirectories()
ListBox1.Items.Add(Dir)
Next

Edit: Fixed Code Line 1 - see comments
