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         


        

Answer 1

Try using

var fullname = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine("f:/","test1/test2", "test3\\test4")).FullName;

This will result in

f:\test1\test2\test3\test4

Answer 2

First, I would argue in this particular case, it wouldn't be unreasonable to do a single .Replace()

Secondly, you could also use System.Uri to format your path, it's very strict. However, this will be more lines than a simple .Replace(). I apperently am voting for you to just use .Replace() be done with it! Hope that helps
