How to handle Length of File's Names > 256 in .Net ?


i have file's names appended folder name greater 256 or 260 (whatever) characters

i have application in c# .net every file reads file's size, mentioned files above gets error "could not find file ........"

my os xp sp3 lot of hotfixes, updates, etc, etc.

the question :

1) if xp allow existence of files mentioned above why .net framework can not handle ?

2) how can goal : read file' sizes ?

its out of question : not going rename or move files , have read size of files.

i need solution/strategy language-independent , independent of .net framework version.

thank in advance.
