I'm translating an app from .net on windows to mono on mac. I found an error that was happening, that I think related with how the backslash is interpreted on mono - mac.
Path.GetDirectoryName("Assembly\\file.dll")
On mono for mac that return an empty string, on .net windows that return "Assembly". Is that the normal behaviour? can I change the way path are interpreted with some kind of configuration, or I need to replace every backslash with forwardslash?
on mono you can use MONO_IOMAP environment variable to ignore differences like path ( windows is case insensitive, unix is case sensitive) and path separator ( '\' vs '/' )
see http://www.mono-project.com/docs/advanced/iomap/
the best long term solution anyway is to use methods like Path.Combine or Path.DirectorySeparator to fix these problems
