How to use in .Net path longer than 260 characters

[Francisco]

Hello all,

I'm trying to use paths longer than 260 characters, but the classes
I've used like System.Directory seems to lack support of NTFS long
paths like:

\\?\d:\test
or
\\?\UNC\testmachine\testshare

Can anybody give me any clue on that?

Thanks in advance

Not really a work around, but here is at least an explanation of why it
works the way it does:

Part 2 has some workarounds.
