Recently I was read an article and got to know about Path class. Many could be know it but wanted to share with other who don't know.
PATH Class allows to get file path related information in string format. This is in System.IO namespace.
Some of the methods in this class are as given below:
* ChangeExtension: Allows you to change the file extension of a path string.
* Combines: Allows you to combine two path strings into one.
* GetDirectoryName: Returns the directory information included in a path string.
* GetExtension: Returns the extension included in a path string.
* GetFileName: Returns the file name and extension of a path string.
* GetFileNameWithoutExtension: Returns the file name without the extension for a path string.
* GetFullPath: Returns the absolute path for a path string.
* GetInvalidFileNameChars: Returns a character array containing the characters not allowed in file names.
* GetPathRoot: Returns the root directory information for a path string.
* GetRandomFileName: Returns a random file or folder name.
* GetTempFileName: A uniquely named, zero-byte temporary file is created with the full path returned.
* GetTempPath: The path to the system's temporary directory is returned.
* HasExtension: Determines if a path string contains an extension (true) or not (false).
* IsPathRooted: Gets a value indicating whether the specified path string contains absolute or relative path information.
Hope you find it useful

So what about this post is better than finding the very same information in the documentation on the Path class[^] in MSDN?

MSDN is always good to refer to at the end, My post was to bring Path class to the notice of those who didn't knew OK.

At the end?! It is usually the first place I check.

Well, in a short time this post will fall off the first page of this forum. Also, people will be unlikely to be looking for it if they didn't know about it.

I know it will fall off but those who read it I felt it is better to post it, You certainly can't talk about how people will behave ... You talk about yourself not for others !!

If you feel this, then write an article on it. Make it informative and interesting, and show some examples of it in action. As Colin pointed out, the message will move down the forum and in a couple of months you won't be able to find it.

Well that is a good suggestion, let me think about it. The only reason why i had refrained writting an article is because it is only one class .. just like this there are many many classes which should be put as awareness through a post .... but still let me think about it

If you're worried about it only being one class, why not work it into an article with the Directory and File classes. Aim for it being the definitive source on how to use these classes - I guarantee that you will learn a lot about them in the process of writing a good article on them.

To quote our Australian posters, no worries.
Seriously though, I'm always looking for new and interesting articles being posted. It could be that you present a wrinkle or angle that I never thought of, and *BANG* a problem that I wrote a nasty hack to solve is cleared in 2 lines of code. Only the arrogant or truly ignorant think they know it all.

"Only the arrogant or truly ignorant think they know it all."
This is very true statement, so only I had posted this message here so that in case someone had faced some problem in the past related to path/ directory etc could post his/her views here

It'll be out of sight in a couple of days. Believe me, noone searches the forums for code tidbits or answers to their questions. They post their question, oblivious to the fact that it may have been answered only a couple of days ago, further down the forum.

Some of your posts show that you are in a "foul mood". It also looks like you have been voting down anyone who disagrees with you. That is very childish.

Nope I don't feel what you are saying is correct. I felt using "foul mood" statement itself was childish .

Your overuse of exclamation marks does suggest that you are in some way angry or upset by the comments. Interesting that you don't deny voting people down.

"Your overuse of exclamation marks does suggest that you are in some way angry or upset by the comments"
overuse of exclamation : Let me tell you something that is my style of writting, so that doesn't mean that am angry in any sense
"Interesting that you don't deny voting people down."
That is because I want people to vote irrespective of whether I get good votes or poor votes

If people don't know the style of your writing, how are they meant to tell? I certainly interpreted what you were saying as being in an angry tone. Perhaps you need to alter the style of your writing so that you don't use exclamation marks when you are in a debate or discussion with someone.

You can't comment on the style in which people write, you should try to take the message from the post. This site is being visited by users groups situated in various countries so if you feel or interpret message in your way and have some thoughts, then I would suggest you should get it clarified rather then trying to improve others style of writting

Oh, we're back to that old chestnut.
I can comment. I can comment on anything I like. You don't have to agree. But as I'm the one that is interpreting your words I am uniquely placed to comment on them. I am the only person on this earth that can tell you how I interpret your words. I can extrapolate and suggest that others are likely to interpret them in the same way.
Jaiprakash M Bankolli wrote: I would suggest you should get it clarified rather then trying to improve others style of writting
If I spent all my time clarifing other people's words nothing would ever get done. If you write effectively then I won't have to clarify anything.
Jaiprakash M Bankolli wrote: This site is being visited by users groups situated in various countries
Absolutely, so it the writer would stick to generally held standards and conventions then we would all get along much better.
Any I notice that you appear to be voting people down again...
