A stream is a pipe to the data, and a path is a string... you might be able to get the path from .Name if you actually have a FileStream, but if you have a Stream: not so much.

  • is there any way to retrieve the file path ?? i tried to get the isolated storage path in silverlight, but was not able to do so – user2091061 Mar 05 '13 at 10:08
  • @user2091061 that depends a lot on the context and what **exactly** you are being supplied with. What is the `.GetType().FullName` on the object you have access to? – Marc Gravell Mar 05 '13 at 10:26

Stream is a pipeline which is plugged to the source and File Path is just a string which is different in differnt OS.
