System.IO.PathTooLongException

Hello,

Ever got this error?
The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified
file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be
less than 248 characters.

Since the .NET Framework does not support long filenames :-(
I had to write a library that calls the WIN32 API and wraps those functions
like System.IO.

Delimon.Win32.IO replaces basic file functions of System.IO with long path
names support for characters up to 32,767 Characters
So bye bye MAX_PATH problem
Note : It does not support all functions. basic file
copy/move/delete/attributes only

You can download my library here:
