PathUtil.Normalize(String) Method

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.PlatformUI
Assembly:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Utilities.dll
Package:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Utilities v17.11.40262

Returns a normalized form of the given path.

What it does:

  • Takes pains not to allocate extra temporary strings.
  • Verifies that the path contains no invalid path characters, throwing an exception if any invalid characters are found.
  • Strips leading and trailing whitespace.
  • Replaces "/" with ""
  • Replaces multiple consecutive "" with a single "", except for the leading "\" of a UNC path.
  • Removes the trailing "", unless it's part of a root (e.g. "C:")
  • Converts to lowercase

What it doesn't do:

  • Fully qualify a non-rooted filename (e.g. "dir\filename.ext")
  • Simplify relative pathnames (e.g. "C:\dir..\FileInDriveRoot.ext"). It's tempting to use Path.GetFullPathName to perform this function, but that would entail an expensive trip to the disk or network.
  • Verify that the path exists.
