Question

I’m using Path.Combine like so:

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

The output I get is:

test1/test2\test3\test4

Notice how the forward slash doesn’t get converted to a backslash. I know I can do string.Replace to change it, but is there a better way of doing this?

Answer 1

Because your “test1/test2” is already a string literal, Path.Combine will not change the ‘/’ for you to a ‘\’.

Path.Combine will only concat the 2 string literals with the appropriate path delimiter used by the OS, in this case Windows, which is ‘\’, from there your output

test1/test2\test3\test4

Your best bet would be the string.Replace.
