Converting Strings to Path in C#?

In C#, the Path class, part of the System.IO namespace, provides methods for working with paths. Converting strings to paths becomes important when you need to perform operations like file manipulation, navigation, or validation.

The below program shows how to convert strings into path objects. We will use the Path.Combine method to join two strings into a path.

using System;
using System.IO;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        // Input strings representing directory and file names
        string directoryName = "C:\\MyFiles";
        string fileName = "example.txt";

        // Convert strings to path
        string fullPath = Path.Combine(directoryName, fileName);

        // Display the result
        Console.WriteLine("Full Path: " + fullPath);
    }
}

In this example, the Path.Combine method takes two strings representing a directory name and a file name and combines them into a full path.

Output:

Full Path: C:\MyFiles\example.txt
