How to determine if a File Matches a File Mask?

Question

I need to decide whether file name fits to file mask. The file mask could contain * or ? characters. Is there any simple solution for this?

bool bFits = Fits

If PowerShell is available, it has direct support for wildcard type matching (as well as Regex).

WildcardPattern pat = new WildcardPattern("a*.b*");
if (pat.IsMatch(filename)) { ... }
