Bug in Directory.GetParent?

By Posted on

Problem :

I was hit in the face by a very weird behavior of the System.IO.Directory.GetParent method:

string path1 = @"C:foobar";

DirectoryInfo parent1 = Directory.GetParent(path1);

Console.WriteLine (parent1.FullName); // Prints C:foo, as expected


// Notice the extra backslash. It should still refer to the same location, right ?

string path2 = @"C:foobar"
