Is there any way to find out the current user's directory temp paths in
.NET applications?

For example to read the set variables which in my account are:

TEMP=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp
TMP=C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp

or another way to retrieve that information?

For native C++, use getenv() from <stdlib.h>

For managed, use System::Environment::GetEnvironmentVariable from mscorlib.
