Access sitecore settings programmatically (Sitecore 6)
Question
Is there a way to get to sitecore settings through code.
The specific setting I'm interested in is the data Folder path.
Solution
Yes. Look at the Sitecore.Configuration.Settings class (which is your entry point to the Sitecore settings), and use the static DataFolder property:
string dataFolder = Sitecore.Configuration.Settings.DataFolder;
OTHER TIPS
If you'd like to get other settings, you may want to try:-
Sitecore.Configuration.Settings.GetSetting("SettingName");
This will work for all sitecore settings, even your custom settings that can be added through the config files in the App_config/Include.
