Hi,
I work in a company where we tend to use very deep folder structures and
long descriptive file names due to the nature of the analysis that we make.
I've made a program that recursively descends into these folders to do some
search stuff. However, I receive an exception trown from a FileInfo object
when I'm deep down the mine shaft saying that "the specified path/file is too
long and must not exceed 248/260 respectively in characteres". Before I start
to work on some workaround, does anyone know of a way to use loooooong
filenames/paths?
regards
Jesper.

Well, one approach would be to iteratively set
Environment.Cur rentDirectory to descend into the directory structure and
then specify paths relative to the current directory instead of using full
pathnames.
One thing to keep in mind though: even within Windows, you will run into
situations where it doesn't handle deep directory structures well. If you
can, it might be worthwhile to adjust the layout of your data to avoid the
problem (or possibly use OS-level techniques like the "subst" command to
shorten the paths).

Windows MAX_PATH is 260 characters if i recall, filenames are supposed to be
a short description of the file so you can find them easily. They're not
designed to store the whole file in the filename and leave the file empty.
You could always store the files in a database of some sort to categorize
the information and use a guid for the filename. Didn't give us any
information about the project so i'm really just guessing at this point. At
any rate, if the filenames are starting to exceed max path, you need to
rethink how you're building your file system and fix it.

Hi all,
I am using a background image via a stylsheet.
I've used this code: background-image:url("/images/tile.gif"); (which
I think is correct)
The image doesn't show up however, the path, the filename etc etc,
everything checks out ok.

How do I do this? For now, I just renamed my Hippo.Crypto to

Hello,
Is it possible to obtain the fully qualified name of a
class in c#. What I am looking for is something analogous
to Box.class.getName() that exists in Java.
Its possible to get this by calling GetType() on an

same object whose fully qualified name is needed. Thus,
there is no instance available on which the GetType()

Hi,
I have a system with very long paths and I'm trying to use

Hi all,
As per my understanding in order to load an assembly using
Assembly.Load() you have to provide fully qualified name of the
assembly you are trying to load e.g.
Assembly
asmb=Assembly.Load("System.Windows.Forms,Version=1.0.5000.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089");
