SP2010 COM GetFolderbyURL how can I get the library of the folder?

Question

I know the URL to a document Library folder and I am able to successfully retrieve that folder using Client Object Model GetFolder. However, I do not know the Document Library title, how can I get the metadata of the Document Library that the folder I am on is in? I can C# or vb.net.

Answer 1

I am assuming that your code to GetFolder would be something like below, if yes then the code to get Document library title would be as follows:

string url = web.ServerRelativeUrl + "/shared documents/test folder";
SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder(url);
var docLibTitle = folder.Item.ParentList.Title;
