[Boost-users] boost filesystem path question

Hi,
I've this code, which is supposed to work on both windows and linux OS. 
I'll get a particular directory/file path from a fileselection dialog,
where by i process this path.

The question for me, is I'm using the boost::filesystem::path
constructor like this.

boost::filesystem::path p (path_from_fs_dialog,
boost::filesystem::native) ;

Its working fine on linux (as the string path_from_fs_dialog contains
"/" as directory separator). 
when comes to windows path_from_fs_dialog contains "\" as the directory
separator, and the path constructor is throwing exception.

What could have been the reason? I've to change the namecheck function
from "native" to "no_check"

Any ideas what might have gone wrong? 

Thanks in advance,
Surya
