CopyC#
//Connect to a file geodatabase
Geodatabase fileGdb = new Geodatabase(@"C:\Data\Scotland.gdb");

//Print the type of geodatabase
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(fileGdb.Type.ToString()); //prints "File"

//Print the geodatabase path
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(fileGdb.Path); //prints "C:\Data\Scotland.gdb"

//Print the short name for the geodatabase
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(fileGdb.Name); //prints "Scotland.gdb"

//Print the short name for the geodatabase
System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(fileGdb.ShortName); //prints "Scotland"
CopyVB.NET
