这是我的解决方案，注意，我正在寻找一个函数，严格避免任何不必要的文件系统访问，但这里只允许字符串操作(路径可能不存在):

public static bool IsFolder(string path)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(path)) return false;
    if (path.EndsWith("\\")) return true;
    return (path.Contains("\\") && string.IsNullOrEmpty(Path.GetExtension(path)));
}

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;
}

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());
    }

从如何判断路径是文件还是目录:

// get the file attributes for file or directory
FileAttributes attr = File.GetAttributes(@"c:\Temp");

//detect whether its a directory or file
if ((attr & FileAttributes.Directory) == FileAttributes.Directory)
    MessageBox.Show("Its a directory");
else
    MessageBox.Show("Its a file");

更新。net 4.0+

根据下面的评论，如果你使用的是。net 4.0或更高版本(最大性能不是关键)，你可以用更简洁的方式编写代码:

// get the file attributes for file or directory
FileAttributes attr = File.GetAttributes(@"c:\Temp");

if (attr.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Directory))
    MessageBox.Show("Its a directory");
else
    MessageBox.Show("Its a file");

作为directory . exists()的替代方法，你可以使用file . getattributes()方法来获取文件或目录的属性，所以你可以创建一个像这样的helper方法:

private static bool IsDirectory(string path)
{
    System.IO.FileAttributes fa = System.IO.File.GetAttributes(path);
    return (fa & FileAttributes.Directory) != 0;
}

在填充包含该项的附加元数据的控件时，还可以考虑向TreeView控件的tag属性添加对象。例如，您可以为文件添加FileInfo对象，为目录添加DirectoryInfo对象，然后在tag属性中测试项目类型，以避免在单击项目时进行额外的系统调用以获取数据。

使用这篇文章中所选的答案，我看了评论并给予了信任 @ŞafakGür， @Anthony和@Quinn Wilson，他们的信息让我得到了这个改进的答案，我写了并测试了:

    /// <summary>
    /// Returns true if the path is a dir, false if it's a file and null if it's neither or doesn't exist.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="path"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static bool? IsDirFile(this string path)
    {
        bool? result = null;

        if(Directory.Exists(path) || File.Exists(path))
        {
            // get the file attributes for file or directory
            var fileAttr = File.GetAttributes(path);

            if (fileAttr.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Directory))
                result = true;
            else
                result = false;
        }

        return result;
    }
