If you use the members of the Path class, you can cope with localizations of the path separation character and other path-related caveats. The following code provides the depth (including the root). It's not robust to bad strings and such, but it's a start for you.

int depth = 0;
do
{
    path = Path.GetDirectoryName(path);
    Console.WriteLine(path);
    ++depth;
} while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(path));

Console.WriteLine("Depth = " + depth.ToString());
