How to create a hardlink in C#?

Question

How to create a hardlink in C#? Any code snippet, please?

Answer 1

The BCL doesn't provide this, so you'll have to resort to p/invoke

[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode )]
  static extern bool CreateHardLink(
      string lpFileName,
      string lpExistingFileName,
      IntPtr lpSecurityAttributes
  );

And use it e.g. like

 CreateHardLink(@"c:\temp\New Link", @"c:\temp\Original File",IntPtr.Zero);
