Path.Combine Method (String, String)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Shared Function Combine ( _
    path1 As String, _
    path2 As String _
) As String

public static string Combine(
    string path1,
    string path2
)

Exceptions

Remarks

If path1 does not end with a valid separator character as defined in DirectorySeparatorChar or AltDirectorySeparatorChar, a DirectorySeparatorChar is appended to path1 before concatenation.

If path2 does not include a root (for example, if path2 does not start with a separator character or a drive specification), the result is a concatenation of the two paths, with an intervening separator character. If path2 includes a root, path2 is returned.

Examples

The following example combines directory and subdirectory names into paths for creating the directories in isolated storage. This example is part of a larger example provided for the IsolatedStorageFile class.

' Create three subdirectories under MyApp1.
Dim subdirectory1 As String = Path.Combine("MyApp1", "SubDir1")
Dim subdirectory2 As String = Path.Combine("MyApp1", "SubDir2")
Dim subdirectory3 As String = Path.Combine("MyApp1", "SubDir3")
store.CreateDirectory(subdirectory1)
store.CreateDirectory(subdirectory2)
store.CreateDirectory(subdirectory3)

// Create three subdirectories under MyApp1.
string subdirectory1 = Path.Combine("MyApp1", "SubDir1");
string subdirectory2 = Path.Combine("MyApp1", "SubDir2");
string subdirectory3 = Path.Combine("MyApp1", "SubDir3");
store.CreateDirectory(subdirectory1);
store.CreateDirectory(subdirectory2);
store.CreateDirectory(subdirectory3);
