Different behaviour between Directory instance Exists property and Directory.Exists() static method #31

Closed Arjailer closed 8 years ago

Arjailer commented 8 years ago

If I have an existing folder path that ends with a slash (e.g. "C:\test\folder\") then the static method Directory.Exists(@"C:\test\folder\") will find the folder and return true.

However, the instance property new Directory(@"C:\test\folder\").Exists always seems to return false. If I remove the final slash from the end then it finds the folder and returns true.

This is easy to work around (always use the Static method), but I would have expected both the instance property and static method to behave the same (as they do in System.IO.Directory).

Do you mean DirectoryInfo.Exists? Directory is static and does not contain an Exists property.

Can't reproduce in the latest code with DirectoryInfo.Exists.
