Incorrect Shared Folder Path Being Generated

Question

In my code:

protected readonly string DropFolder = @"\\SharedFolder\Subfolder";

In ILSpy:

protected readonly string DropFolder = "\\\\SharedFolder\\Subfolder";

Am I missing something?

Answer 1

Some characters are stored as the corresponding escape sequences in CIL, and \ is one of them (stored as \\). These two strings are equal: @"\" == "\\".
