I am making a command line utility. I need to pass around a few file paths in the program.
Right now I am just using string. But I was wondering if the .net library had a cool class for passing around file paths.
Strings are the best way to store paths.
If you need to modify or work with the path, though, you should use System.IO.Path.
If you want something that is a little more robust and can actually interact with files/directories you could also check out FileInfo and DirectoryInfo. Keep in mind, though, that both of these are awfully heavy if you just need to store the path.
