 For more information on file path formats on Windows, see [File path formats on Windows systems](/dotnet/standard/io/file-path-formats).
 
  Most members of the `Path` class do not interact with the file system and do not verify the existence of the file specified by a path string. `Path` class members that modify a path string, such as <xref:System.IO.Path.ChangeExtension%2A>, have no effect on names of files in the file system.
 
  Some `Path` members do validate the contents of a specified path string, and throw an <xref:System.ArgumentException> if the string contains characters that are not valid in path strings, as defined in the characters returned from the <xref:System.IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars%2A> method. For example, on Windows-based desktop platforms, invalid path characters might include quote ("), less than (\<), greater than (>), pipe (&#124;), backspace (\\b), null (\\0), and Unicode characters 16 through 18 and 20 through 25. This validation behavior varies between .NET versions:
 
- - On .NET Framework and .NET Core versions older than 2.1: All `Path` members that take a path as an argument throw an <xref:System.ArgumentException> if they detect invalid path characters.
+ - On .NET Framework: All `Path` members that take a path as an argument throw an <xref:System.ArgumentException> if they detect invalid path characters.

+ - On .NET: <xref:System.IO.Path.GetFullPath%2A> is the only member that throws an <xref:System.ArgumentException> if the string contains invalid path characters.
 
  The members of the `Path` class enable you to quickly and easily perform common operations such as determining whether a file name extension is part of a path, and combining two strings into one path name.
