Why when i give the path c: it changed me directly to application folder?

  • 0

Why when i give the path “c:” it changed me directly to application folder?

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo("c:");
        Console.WriteLine(dir.FullName);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

The output is the following:

c:\users…\documents\visual studio
2010\projects\consoleApplication9\bin\debug

But when I give @"c:\" it goes to disk c:
despite that "d:" and @"d:\" takes to disk d:.

So I need a way to let "c:" takes to disk c:

Thanks in advance!

    static void Main(string[] args) 
        { 
            string YourDir = "c:";
    
            if (!YourDir.Substring(YourDir.Length - 1, 1).Equals(@"\"))
                YourDir += @"\";
            DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(YourDir); 
            Console.WriteLine(dir.FullName); 
            Console.ReadLine(); 
        }
