I’m looking for a C# class that represents a file system path. I would like to use it (instead of strings) as the data type of variables and method arguments (top reasons: type safety, concat-proof, logical comparisons).

  • System.IO.Path provides most of the functionality I want, but it is static.
  • System.IO.FileInfo, as I understand, performs IO operations to do its job. I only want a wrapper for the path string.

Thanks!

    May be the library NDepend.Helpers.FileDirectoryPath is what you are looking for.

    It provides:

    • Strongly typed File/Directory path.
    • Relative / absolute path conversion.
    • Path normalization API
    • Path validity check API
    • Path comparison API
    • Path browsing API.
    • Path rebasing API
    • List of path operations (TryGetCommonRootDirectory, GetListOfUniqueDirsAndUniqueFileNames, list equality…)
