How to create folder with trailing dot (.) in .NET/C#?

Question

I need to create folders with trailing dots (.) using C#. Here is my code:

System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory("d:\\MyCorp Inc.");

But the folder is created without the final dot. Is there a solution?

I am using .NET Framework 4.5/C#. My file system is NTFS, on Windows 8.

Try:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
class Program
{
    [DllImport("kernel32.dll", SetLastError = true)]
    public static extern bool CreateDirectory(string lpPathName, IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes);

    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        CreateDirectory(@"\\?\c:\temp\MyCorp Inc.", IntPtr.Zero);
    }

And refer to You cannot delete a file or a folder on an NTFS file system volume.
