In java there is the notion of using a system variable to tell you
what the platform-specific folder separator is. Is the same true for
.Net? I've only done .Net on windows and haven't cared until now.
I'd like my code to be portable between windows and linux using .Net
and mono. I take one of the "special" folders from
Environment.GetFolder(), and append some directory structure to that
to do some work. How do I know what folder separator to use?
Not 100% sure if they work right on mono, but FileInfo, and DirectoryInfo
objects are your friends, if you are targetting windows, and *nix, the
forward-slash is an alternate separator in windows, and should work fine
by switching.. there are the following static values you can reference.
System.IO.Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar
System.IO.Path.PathSeparator
System.IO.Path.VolumeSeparatorChar
probably already answered though.. :)
