Copying files with long path names

[GazzaJ]

Is it possible to copy a file using .NET where the path is greater than 248 characters? If not, are there any work arounds?

Before asking this question you should atleast try this I hope this will work. Use File.Copy() Method Best Regards, Rizwan

This is what I use but my path contains more than 248 characters which throws a System.IO.PathTooLongException exception. I was wondering if there was any way around this.

Have you tried FileInfo f = new FileInfo(LongPath); f.CopyTo(NewLocation);

Yes - it throws the same exception.
