C# (non-static) class to represent paths

Tags:

path

I'm looking for a C# class that represents a file system path. I would like to use it (instead of strings) as the data type of variables and method arguments (top reasons: type safety, concat-proof, logical comparisons).

  • System.IO.Path provides most of the functionality I want, but it is static.
  • System.IO.FileInfo, as I understand, performs IO operations to do its job. I only want a wrapper for the path string.

Thanks!
