How to get complete path?

[Jacques Oberto]

Hi All,

I am using "folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath" to obtain a user
selected path. Unfortunately the path is missing the trailing backslash.
Is there a way to obtain the complete path with "\" programmatically ?
Thanks,

Jacques

The really annoying part is that when the root directory is selected, the
trailing backslash is obtained:

c:\ versus c:\test

Why do you want the path in a specific format? If you are trying to use
that path to assemble a new path, just use the Path.Combine() method.
..NET will take care of putting any necessary directory separators in there
for you.

You can in fact also get the Path class to normalize the path, putting the
last separator on the string. But it's usually not actually necessary to
do so.

Hi Peter,

I does not work.
Here's what I am trying to do. I would like to remove the @"\".

if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();
string[] fileList = Directory.GetFiles(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath +
@"\", "*.txt");
foreach (string myFile in fileList)
{
listBox1.Items.Add(Path.GetFileName(myFile));
}
}

Hello...

Say, did you ever just try and remove it?
Directory.GetFiles works just right in my tests without the trailing
slash.
I can't see your problem here.

Hm.... Freud? ;-)

Why?
Windows doesn't really care if you feed it "C:\" or "C:\\".
If you strip off the path anyway it does not matter.

Otherwise you might want to try

string mypath=Path.Combine(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath, @"
").Trim();
string[] fileList = Directory.GetFiles( mypath, "*.txt");

Huh?

Then don't add it in the first place.

if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
listBox1.Items.Clear();
string[] fileList =
Directory.GetFiles(folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath, "*.txt");

Peter, Julia, Wyrm & myself:

It indeed works without the @"\".
Thanks,
