Error: File Path is Too Long

Question

i am trying to use the various file functions in C# like File.GetLastWriteTime, copy command on the file placed at the path greater than maximum allowed path on

Answer 1

try with this code

var path = Path.Combine(@"\\?\", filesToBeCopied[j]); //don't forget extension

"\?\" prefix to a path string tells the Windows APIs to disable all string parsing and to send the string that follows it straight to the file system.

Important : Not all file I/O APIs support "\?\", you should look at the reference topic for each API
