WIN directory to DOS directory question

[Goobashi]

Is there a super easy way to convert a string generated from something like Application.StartupPath to dos compatibility (i.e. directories with spaces have quotes around them and Directories that are too long have a ~ inserted? Thanks, Colin

yeah, you format the string yourself, how much easier can you get? (without doing any work that is)

Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday.

I figured as much, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing somethign horribly obvious like toString.DosCompatability :) or something dumb like that :)

Try this:

Path.GetTempFileName();
Path.GetTempPath();

I think you'll manage implanting this one :)

Try using the GetShortPathName API. You can get the function signature at pinvoke.net, and an example here
