A string containing the full directory name of a temporary directory.

The information returned by this method is implementation-specific. Platforms that do not support this feature return string.Empty.

System.Security.Permissions.EnvironmentPermission	Requires unrestricted access to environment variables. See System.Security.Permissions.PermissionState.Unrestricted.

Exceptions

System.Security.SecurityException	The caller does not have the required permission.

Remarks

On platforms that provide a mechanism for users to discover this information, (for example by checking an environment variable), implementations of the CLI return the same information as the implementation-specific mechanism.
