Right to Left string Manipulation   

Description of the problem:

The context

I have to upload a file into sharepoint programmatically.
To do that i have to call “Add” function on the chosen folder or list  and 
passing as parameter the url of the file.

The problem

I have to write the url programmatically and when I mix English and Hebrew I 
don’t obtain the wanted url.

Sample:

I want to add a file named “test.docx” in the location 
http://myserver/mylist/myfolder/.
In my case I get the file name programmatically by looping into a folder in 
my local computer.

So in my code I have to write :

string filename=myFileName( sample: “test.docx”)
string UrlLocation= http://myserver/mylist/תיקייה”;
String Url=UrlLocation+filename;
myFolder.Add(Url);

The problem is that for the Url  I obtain this value : 
http://myserver/mylist/ test / תיקייה.docx  and not : http://myserver/mylist/ 
תיקייה / test.docx .
In fact the “/” character disturb the concatenation.

I have already tested : StringBuilder, Encoding, bidi32.dll without success.

Thanks for help

Hi,

maybe you can try Path.Combine (

Hi Vincent,

Thanks for your help.
I tested your idea but it doesn't work.
I found in a forum of Microsoft that there are no function in the .Net 
framework to convert between Hebrew logical and visual layouts : 
https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=195951&wa=wsignin1.0

I hope there is a solution because i thinks that developpers who work with 
right to left langages have solved this problem.

All ideas are welcome.

Thanks.
