Getting actual file name (with proper casing) on Windows with .NET

Question

I want to do exactly the same as in this question:

Windows file system is case insensitive. How, given a file/folder name (e.g. \"somefile\"), I get t

Answer 1

It looks like the best way is to iterate through all folders in the path and get their proper caps:

 Public Function gfnProperPath(ByVal sPath As String) As String
    If Not IO.File.Exists(sPath) AndAlso Not IO.Directory.Exists(sPath) Then Return sPath
    Dim sarSplitPath() As String = sPath.Split("\")
    Dim sAddPath As String = sarSplitPath(0).ToUpper & "\"
    For i = 1 To sarSplitPath.Length - 1
        sPath = sAddPath & "\" & sarSplitPath(i)
        If IO.File.Exists(sPath) Then
            Return IO.Directory.GetFiles(sAddPath, sarSplitPath(i), IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)(0)
        ElseIf IO.Directory.Exists(sPath) Then
            sAddPath = IO.Directory.GetDirectories(sAddPath, sarSplitPath(i), IO.SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)(0)
        End If
    Next
    Return sPath
End Function
