Creating a temporary directory in Windows?

by

No, there is no equivalent to mkdtemp. The best option is to use a combination of GetTempPath and GetRandomFileName.

You would need code similar to this:

public string GetTemporaryDirectory()
{
   string tempDirectory = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Path.GetRandomFileName());
   Directory.CreateDirectory(tempDirectory);
   return tempDirectory;
}
