ShortPath Name in C#

[Usman]

Hi

Is there any way to get the short path name of the file or folder in C#.
Just like the API "GetShortPathName" in C++

IIRC you will have to P/Invoke to get such functionality

Hi

Any Idea how to call this in API in C#. The syntax in the example is for
VB.Net.

Hello, Usman!

I suppose it would look like this...

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32 .dll", EntryPoint = "GetShortPathName", SetLastError = true)]
private static extern int PlaySound(string lpszLongPath , string lpszShortPath , int cchBuffer);

string strPath = Application.StartupPath;
string strShortPath = new string(' ', 100);
int n = GetShortPathName(strPath, strShortPath, 100) ;
