What’s the .net namespace constant thingy for the forward slash "/"
So instead of:
somePath + "/" + someFile
I can do:
somePath + .net.namespace.forwardslash + someFile
Not really much difference but maybe neater?

A:
Just use a forward slash if that's what you need, but if you're trying to combine a file name and a path, just use System.IO.Path.Combine().

This is not correct: System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar. But I didn't downvote because you mentioned Path.Combine, though.

He is correct. On Windows Path.DirectorySeparatorChar returns the backslash, in Mono it will be probably a slash when running on an unixoid environment. Using Path.Combine is the correct approach.

A:
System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar is what you want i think.
BTW, a saner way to do it is to use System.IO.Path.Combine(somePath,someFile).

so many upvotes and even an accept for a misleading answer. The Path.DirectorySeparatorChar returns "a platform-specific character used to separate directory levels in a path string that reflects a hierarchical file system organization" (MSDN) - therefore it WON'T be the forward slash in most .net cases. However, if you are just asking how to concatenate directory path and file name in a safe way, then the answer is correct (although the question is wrong)
