I think you mean "Path path", where the second term is all lower case. In C#, changing case is as important as changing a letter — doing either gets you an entirely different identifier.

The upper-cased "Path" is the type of the object being declared, and the lower-case "path" is the name. Both are required by the syntax for a complete declaration.
