Pascal => C#

[Steve]

Hi Guys,

Is there a reference that would help someone coming from Delphi to
find equivalent functions in C#?

I'm currently looking for a C# version of Delphi's
IncludeTrailing PathDelimiter() . This function accepts a string and
returns the string with a trailing path delimiter (/ or \ depending on
platform). If the string already has the trailing delimiter, it is
returned unmodified.

I know I'll run into other translation issues so if anyone could point
me to a good reference, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

I'm not sure that specific method exists in C# but it would be simple to
write:

public string IncludeTrailing PathDelimiter(s tring path)
{
if (path.EndsWith( System.IO.Path. DirectorySepara torChar.ToStrin g()))
{
return path;
}
else
{
return (path + System.IO.Path. DirectorySepara torChar);
}
}

Not that I'm aware of - although Jon Shemitz's book ".NET 2.0 for
Delphi developers" may well be useful to you.

I'm currently looking for a C# version of Delphi's
IncludeTrailing PathDelimiter() . This function accepts a string and
returns the string with a trailing path delimiter (/ or \ depending on
platform). If the string already has the trailing delimiter, it is
returned unmodified.

If the bigger picture is that you're trying to create a full filename
given a parent directory and the next level (whether that's a file or
another directory name) Path.Combine is your friend.

I don't think that's a built-in function, but it sounds like about 3 lines
of code...

A bit of googling indicates that it is part of Delphi starting
from Delphi 7.

But it should be easy to achieve the desired functionality
using the System.IO.Path class.

Maybe this book would be of some use:

..NET 2.0 For Delphi Programmers

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590593863

but I have to think your ultimate best reference is the .NET Framework Class
Library Reference; you have to learn the FCL anyway
