Directory.GetFiles() with C: and C:\

I'm simply using Directory.GetFiles() to get all files in that directory.

What I found out is, that C: as a parameter is giving back all files which are in my release folder (at least it seems so).

C:\ gives me the real C:\folder like I assumed.

Why is this happening?

C: refers to the current directory on the C drive, which happens to be your release folder. C:\ refers to the root directory on the C drive.

You can also use paths like C:..\test.txt which is a relative path to the current directory on C, or \test.txt which is an absolute path on the current drive

See this MSDN article about naming files and paths for details
