How to find list or folder name from SharePoint document URL

Question

I'm implementing the SharePoint client object model in my VSTO application in .NET framework 4.0(C#).
Actually we open MS Word files from SharePoint site, we need to create a folder inside the opened documents list/folder and after it we want to upload/add some files to that created folder.
My problem is that how to get list name/title and folder name of opened document by using the documents URL or Is there an another option to find the list or folder name of opened document.
Any help will be appreciable.

In document Library you can get the name of document library directly in URL. for folder name you can try below:
using System;
using Microsoft.SharePoint;
namespace Test
class ConsoleApp
static void Main(string[] args)
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://localhost"))
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
if (web.DoesUserHavePermissions(SPBasePermissions.BrowseDirectories))
// Get a folder by server-relative URL.
string url = web.ServerRelativeUrl + "/shared documents/test folder";
SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder(url);
try
// Get the folder's Guid.
Guid id = folder.UniqueId;
Console.WriteLine(id);
// Get a folder by Guid.
folder = web.GetFolder(id);
url = folder.ServerRelativeUrl;
Console.WriteLine(url);
catch (System.IO.FileNotFoundException ex)
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
Console.ReadLine();
