"The path is too long after being fully qualified"

[fadetoblack]

2003 virtual server/asp.net 1.1
The workarounds that I have found aren't working.

\\?\c:\Inetpub\vhosts\intraflux.com\httpdocs\projects\hmgtesting\temp\

.\temp\

and since it's a virtual server I can't set up a drive letter using diskpart

Does anybody know another way of creating a path string to files or a directory?

Thanks in advance

Can you explain in a bit more detail what you are trying to do? Your question doesn't make much sense.

I'm unsure how to make the question more clear. Is there any way to create a path to files or a directory that I haven't listed previously. I am using FileInfo and XmlDocument in several pages and am running into the 260 character limit. My problem and question could apply to any class that accesses files or file structure.

To create a directory, use the System.IO.Directory.Create method.

I'm not creating a directory, I am trying to access one. Specifically this one: c:\Inetpub\vhosts\intraflux.com\httpdocs\projects\hmgtesting\temp\ and I am getting the "The path is too long after being fully qualified" error. Supposedly I have exceeded the 260 character limit. Is there another way I can type the path other than the ones listed above?

 

[ca8msm]

I still don't understand. How are you trying to "access one"? You'll have to show an example of the code you are using and whih line it errors on.

FileInfo copy_test=new FileInfo(@"C:\Inetpub\vhosts\intraflux.com\httpdocs\projects\hmgtesting\data\master.xml");

That seems to work without any errors for me in a simple test:
