Gets a value indicating whether the specified path string contains a root.
Syntax
Parameters
- path
Returns
true if path contains a root; otherwise, false.
Exceptions
Type Reason ArgumentException path contains one or more implementation-specific invalid characters.
Remarks
The Path.IsPathRooted(string) method returns true if the first character is a directory separator character such as "\", or if the path starts with a drive letter and colon (:). For example, it returns true for path strings such as "\\MyDir\\MyFile.txt", "C:\\MyDir", or "C:MyDir". It returns false for path strings such as "MyDir".
This method does not verify that the path or file name exists.
