This DirectoryInfo.Name property returns only the name of the directory, such as "Bin". To get the full path, such as "c:\public\Bin", use the FileSystemInfo.FullName property.

The DirectoryInfo.Name property of a System.IO.DirectoryInfo requires no permission (beyond the read permission to the directory necessary to construct the DirectoryInfo.Exists) but can give out the directory name. If it is necessary to hand out a System.IO.DirectoryInfo to a protected directory with a cryptographically secure name, create a dummy directory for the untrusted code’s use.
