Question

I’m experiencing something odd.

Whenever I attempt to create a DirectoryInfo object in my code and pass it the root drive (C:), that object’s Name property is set to “Debug”, and the Parent is set to the {bin} folder.

I don’t try to replicate Windows Explorer very often, so I don’t know if this is something common or not.

I was getting this on my development PC at home, and now it is doing it here at work.

Does anyone else get this or is it just me?

You should set the initial path to "C:\\" or @"C:\", not "C:".

The DirectoryInfo is just defaulting to the current directory, which is bin\Debug.
