Justdecompile output
----------------------------
protected string GetPath(string basePath, string path, SiteContext context)
{
string virtualFolder = context.VirtualFolder;
if ((virtualFolder.Length <= 0 || virtualFolder == "/") || path.Length == (virtualFolder.Length - 1))
{
path = string.Empty;
}
if (basePath.Length > 0 && basePath != "/")
{
path = FileUtil.MakePath(basePath, path, 47);
}
if (path.Length > 0 && path.get_Chars(0) != 47)
{
path = string.Concat(47, path);
}
return path;
}

Reflector Output:
---------------------
protected string GetPath(string basePath, string path, SiteContext context) { string virtualFolder = context.VirtualFolder; if ((virtualFolder.Length > 0) && (virtualFolder != "/")) { if (path.Length == (virtualFolder.Length - 1)) { path = string.Empty; } else { path = path.Substring(virtualFolder.Length); } } if ((basePath.Length > 0) && (basePath != "/")) { path = FileUtil.MakePath(basePath, path, '/'); } if ((path.Length > 0) && (path[0] != '/')) { path = '/' + path; } return path; }

Hello Sumith Damodaran,

 Thanks for letting us know about this problem.

It'd be great if we could have a look at the assembly you are decompiling. If that's not possible could you send over the declaration of FileUtil.MakePath method as well as  the MSIL code for the GetPath method.

I have some idea why that might happen even now but I need that stuff to confirm that I am right. Pretty much what happens is that in MSIL type information gets lost, i.e. the '/' constant is represented by its integer value. Normally we'd infer the type in such cases depending on the constant usages. The information I am asking for is gonna help us determine why that inference fails in your case.
