How do I get .NET's Path.Combine to convert forward slashes to backslashes?

Question

I\'m using Path.Combine like so:

Path.Combine(\"test1/test2\", \"test3\\\\test4\");

The output I get is:

test1/test2\\test3\\te

Using .NET Reflector, you can see that Path.Combine doesn't change slashes in the provided strings

public static string Combine(string path1, string path2)
{
    if ((path1 == null) || (path2 == null))
    {
        throw new ArgumentNullException((path1 == null) ? "path1" : "path2");
    }
    CheckInvalidPathChars(path1);
    CheckInvalidPathChars(path2);
    if (path2.Length == 0)
    {
        return path1;
    }
    if (path1.Length == 0)
    {
        return path2;
    }
    if (IsPathRooted(path2))
    {
        return path2;
    }
    char ch = path1[path1.Length - 1];
    if (((ch != DirectorySeparatorChar) && (ch != AltDirectorySeparatorChar)) && (ch != VolumeSeparatorChar))
    {
        return (path1 + DirectorySeparatorChar + path2);
    }
    return (path1 + path2);
}

You can do the same with String.Replace and the Uri class methods to determine which one works best for you.
