Path Class
Part of my 2008 study notes for exam 70-536 (.NET Framework 2.0).
Overview
- Provides helper methods for working with file system paths as strings.
Examples
Change Extensions
// This does NOT rename the file! It is only a string operation.
Console.WriteLine(Path.ChangeExtension(@"C:\Public\Test.txt", ".doc"));
Combine Paths
string root = @"C:\Public\Test";
string subdir = @"Subtest\";
string combined = Path.Combine(root, subdir);
Console.WriteLine(combined);
// If there is no trailing slash at Subtest\ this would give
// C:\Public\Test instead of C:\Public\Test\Subtest
Console.WriteLine(Path.GetDirectoryName(combined));
Create Random Files
Console.WriteLine(Path.ChangeExtension(Path.GetRandomFileName(), ".txt"));
