在结合其他答案的建议后，我意识到我得到了和罗尼·奥弗比的答案差不多的东西。以下是一些测试，指出一些需要考虑的问题:

文件夹可以有扩展名:C:\Temp\folder_with.dot 文件不能以目录分隔符(斜杠)结束 从技术上讲，有两个特定于平台的目录分隔符——也就是说，可能是斜杠，也可能不是。和Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar)

测试(Linqpad)

var paths = new[] {
    // exists
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\folder_is_a_dir",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\is_a_dir_trailing_slash\",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\existing_folder_with.ext",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\file_thats_not_a_dir",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\notadir.txt",
    // doesn't exist
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_folder_is_a_dir",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_folder_trailing_slash\",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\non_existing_folder_with.ext",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_file_thats_not_a_dir",
    @"C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_notadir.txt",        
};

foreach(var path in paths) {
    IsFolder(path/*, false*/).Dump(path);
}

结果

C:\Temp\dir_test\folder_is_a_dir
  True 
C:\Temp\dir_test\is_a_dir_trailing_slash\
  True 
C:\Temp\dir_test\existing_folder_with.ext
  True 
C:\Temp\dir_test\file_thats_not_a_dir
  False 
C:\Temp\dir_test\notadir.txt
  False 
C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_folder_is_a_dir
  True 
C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_folder_trailing_slash\
  True 
C:\Temp\dir_test\non_existing_folder_with.ext
  False (this is the weird one)
C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_file_thats_not_a_dir
  True 
C:\Temp\dir_test\dne_notadir.txt
  False

public static bool IsFolder(string path, bool assumeDneLookAlike = true)
{
    // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1395205/better-way-to-check-if-path-is-a-file-or-a-directory
    // turns out to be about the same as https://stackoverflow.com/a/19596821/1037948

    // check in order of verisimilitude

    // exists or ends with a directory separator -- files cannot end with directory separator, right?
    if (Directory.Exists(path)
        // use system values rather than assume slashes
        || path.EndsWith("" + Path.DirectorySeparatorChar)
        || path.EndsWith("" + Path.AltDirectorySeparatorChar))
        return true;

    // if we know for sure that it's an actual file...
    if (File.Exists(path))
        return false;

    // if it has an extension it should be a file, so vice versa
    // although technically directories can have extensions...
    if (!Path.HasExtension(path) && assumeDneLookAlike)
        return true;

    // only works for existing files, kinda redundant with `.Exists` above
    //if( File.GetAttributes(path).HasFlag(FileAttributes.Directory) ) ...; 

    // no idea -- could return an 'indeterminate' value (nullable bool)
    // or assume that if we don't know then it's not a folder
    return false;
}

我使用以下，它还测试扩展，这意味着它可以用于测试，如果提供的路径是一个文件，但一个文件不存在。

private static bool isDirectory(string path)
{
    bool result = true;
    System.IO.FileInfo fileTest = new System.IO.FileInfo(path);
    if (fileTest.Exists == true)
    {
        result = false;
    }
    else
    {
        if (fileTest.Extension != "")
        {
            result = false;
        }
    }
    return result;
}

很晚才到这里，但我发现Nullable<Boolean>返回值相当难看- IsDirectory(字符串路径)返回null并不等于没有详细注释的不存在的路径，所以我提出了以下内容:

public static class PathHelper
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Determines whether the given path refers to an existing file or directory on disk.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="path">The path to test.</param>
    /// <param name="isDirectory">When this method returns, contains true if the path was found to be an existing directory, false in all other scenarios.</param>
    /// <returns>true if the path exists; otherwise, false.</returns>
    /// <exception cref="ArgumentNullException">If <paramref name="path"/> is null.</exception>
    /// <exception cref="ArgumentException">If <paramref name="path"/> equals <see cref="string.Empty"/></exception>
    public static bool PathExists(string path, out bool isDirectory)
    {
        if (path == null) throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(path));
        if (path == string.Empty) throw new ArgumentException("Value cannot be empty.", nameof(path));

        isDirectory = Directory.Exists(path);

        return isDirectory || File.Exists(path);
    }
}

这个helper方法写得足够冗长和简洁，以便在第一次阅读时就能理解其意图。

/// <summary>
/// Example usage of <see cref="PathExists(string, out bool)"/>
/// </summary>
public static void Usage()
{
    const string path = @"C:\dev";

    if (!PathHelper.PathExists(path, out var isDirectory))
        return;

    if (isDirectory)
    {
        // Do something with your directory
    }
    else
    {
        // Do something with your file
    }
}

只是在路径中添加一个边缘大小写-“Folder Selection.”

在我的应用程序中，我得到了传递给我的最近打开的路径，其中一些路径的末尾有“文件夹选择”。

一些fileopendialog和WinMerge会在路径中添加“文件夹选择”(这是真的)。

但在Windows操作系统下，“文件夹选择”并不是一个建议的文件或文件夹名称(就像“不要这样做，永远不要抖拳头”一样)。 如这里所说:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247%28VS.85%29.aspx

不要以空格或句号结束文件或目录名。虽然底层文件系统可能支持这样的名称，但Windows shell和用户界面不支持。但是，将句点指定为名称的第一个字符是可以接受的。例如，“。temp”。

因此，虽然“Folder Selection.”不应该使用，但它可以使用。(太棒了)。

足够的解释-我的代码(我很喜欢枚举):

public static class Utility
{
    public enum ePathType
    {
        ePathType_Unknown = 0,
        ePathType_ExistingFile = 1,
        ePathType_ExistingFolder = 2,
        ePathType_ExistingFolder_FolderSelectionAdded = 3,
    }

    public static ePathType GetPathType(string path)
    {
        if (File.Exists(path) == true) { return ePathType.ePathType_ExistingFile; }
        if (Directory.Exists(path) == true) { return ePathType.ePathType_ExistingFolder; }

        if (path.EndsWith("Folder Selection.") == true)
        {
            // Test the path again without "Folder Selection."
            path = path.Replace("\\Folder Selection.", "");
            if (Directory.Exists(path) == true)
            {
                // Could return ePathType_ExistingFolder, but prefer to let the caller known their path has text to remove...
                return ePathType.ePathType_ExistingFolder_FolderSelectionAdded;
            }
        }

        return ePathType.ePathType_Unknown;
    }
}

这是我所能想到的最好的Exists和Attributes属性的行为:

using System.IO;

public static class FileSystemInfoExtensions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Checks whether a FileInfo or DirectoryInfo object is a directory, or intended to be a directory.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="fileSystemInfo"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static bool IsDirectory(this FileSystemInfo fileSystemInfo)
    {
        if (fileSystemInfo == null)
        {
            return false;
        }

        if ((int)fileSystemInfo.Attributes != -1)
        {
            // if attributes are initialized check the directory flag
            return fileSystemInfo.Attributes.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Directory);
        }

        // If we get here the file probably doesn't exist yet.  The best we can do is 
        // try to judge intent.  Because directories can have extensions and files
        // can lack them, we can't rely on filename.
        // 
        // We can reasonably assume that if the path doesn't exist yet and 
        // FileSystemInfo is a DirectoryInfo, a directory is intended.  FileInfo can 
        // make a directory, but it would be a bizarre code path.

        return fileSystemInfo is DirectoryInfo;
    }
}

下面是测试结果:

    [TestMethod]
    public void IsDirectoryTest()
    {
        // non-existing file, FileAttributes not conclusive, rely on type of FileSystemInfo
        const string nonExistentFile = @"C:\TotallyFakeFile.exe";

        var nonExistentFileDirectoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(nonExistentFile);
        Assert.IsTrue(nonExistentFileDirectoryInfo.IsDirectory());

        var nonExistentFileFileInfo = new FileInfo(nonExistentFile);
        Assert.IsFalse(nonExistentFileFileInfo.IsDirectory());

        // non-existing directory, FileAttributes not conclusive, rely on type of FileSystemInfo
        const string nonExistentDirectory = @"C:\FakeDirectory";

        var nonExistentDirectoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(nonExistentDirectory);
        Assert.IsTrue(nonExistentDirectoryInfo.IsDirectory());

        var nonExistentFileInfo = new FileInfo(nonExistentDirectory);
        Assert.IsFalse(nonExistentFileInfo.IsDirectory());

        // Existing, rely on FileAttributes
        const string existingDirectory = @"C:\Windows";

        var existingDirectoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(existingDirectory);
        Assert.IsTrue(existingDirectoryInfo.IsDirectory());

        var existingDirectoryFileInfo = new FileInfo(existingDirectory);
        Assert.IsTrue(existingDirectoryFileInfo.IsDirectory());

        // Existing, rely on FileAttributes
        const string existingFile = @"C:\Windows\notepad.exe";

        var existingFileDirectoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo(existingFile);
        Assert.IsFalse(existingFileDirectoryInfo.IsDirectory());

        var existingFileFileInfo = new FileInfo(existingFile);
        Assert.IsFalse(existingFileFileInfo.IsDirectory());
    }

最准确的方法是使用shlwapi.dll中的一些互操作代码

[DllImport(SHLWAPI, CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
[return: MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.Bool)]
[ResourceExposure(ResourceScope.None)]
internal static extern bool PathIsDirectory([MarshalAsAttribute(UnmanagedType.LPWStr), In] string pszPath);

然后你可以这样调用它:

#region IsDirectory
/// <summary>
/// Verifies that a path is a valid directory.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="path">The path to verify.</param>
/// <returns><see langword="true"/> if the path is a valid directory; 
/// otherwise, <see langword="false"/>.</returns>
/// <exception cref="T:System.ArgumentNullException">
/// <para><paramref name="path"/> is <see langword="null"/>.</para>
/// </exception>
/// <exception cref="T:System.ArgumentException">
/// <para><paramref name="path"/> is <see cref="F:System.String.Empty">String.Empty</see>.</para>
/// </exception>
public static bool IsDirectory(string path)
{
    return PathIsDirectory(path);
}
