How can I use FileInfo class, avoiding PathTooLongException?

Question

How can I use (to avoid PathTooLongException):

System.IO.FileInfo

with paths bigger than 260 chars?

Are there similar classes/metho

Answer 1

I only needed to use the FullName property but was also receiving the PathTooLongException.

Using reflection to extract the FullPath value was enough to solve my problem:

private static string GetFullPath(FileInfo src)
{
    return (string)src.GetType()
        .GetField("FullPath", BindingFlags.Instance|BindingFlags.NonPublic)
        .GetValue(src);
}
