It allows a string to be built that contains an absolute or relative path to a directory or files or other platform resources.   All of the Path methods are static - they all work on a string that is used in classes that access files or other resources.   The platform independence is important. On Windows platforms, absolute paths always start with a drive letter - on other platforms or devices, this is not so. The implementation of Path on the target platform contains all the directory/file/resource naming rules for that platform.   Since Path is only ever concerned with path string building and validation, no access to a directory, file or resource is ever performed by this class.  Methods ChangeExtension   Changes the Extension of the File Name in the specified Path string Combine   Combines two Path strings into a single Path string GetDirectoryName   Gets the Directory (folder) name part of the specified Path string GetExtension   Returns the Extension value, if present, for a given Path string GetFileName   Gets the FileName from the specified Path string GetFileNameWithoutExtension   Gets the FileName from the specified Path string GetFullPath   Gets the full path for a relative Path string GetPathRoot   Gets the Root Device or Folder for the specified Path string GetTempFileName   Gets a temporary file in the temporary Directory (folder) on the current machine GetTempPath   Gets the Directory (folder) for temporary files on the current machine HasExtension   Returns True if the specified Path string includes a file name with extension IsPathRooted   Returns True if the specified Path contains an absolute path  Fields AltDirectorySeparatorChar    Char    Provides a platform-specific alternate character used to separate directory levels in a path string that reflects a hierarchical file system organization. DirectorySeparatorChar    Char    Provides a platform-specific character used to separate directory levels in a path string that reflects a hierarchical file system organization. InvalidPathChars    Array of Char    Provides a platform-specific array of characters that cannot be specified in path string arguments passed to members of the Path class. PathSeparator    Char    A platform-specific separator character used to separate path strings in environment variables. VolumeSeparatorChar    Char    Provides a platform-specific volume separator character.  Microsoft MSDN links   System.IO System.IO.path
