Run on my Win2000 system on csc/ms.net:

C:\cygwin\tmp\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug>consoleapplication1 .
Name: Debug
Name vollstaenig: C:\cygwin\tmp\ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug
Attribute: Directory
Vater: bin
Wurzel: C:\
Erstellt am: 25/8/2002 14:18:04
Letzter Zugriff: 25/8/2002 14:28:01
Letzter Schreibzugriff: 25/8/2002 14:18:35

There seems to have a difference on what the Parent (Vater) member returns, 
please fill a bugzilla...

The Root (Wurzel) member is correctly returning the / dir, because Linux 
does not have the drive letter concept.

About slashes versus backslashes, you have to verify what is valid for the 
platform, through System.IO.Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.

Hope it helps...
