.NET Forum / .NET Framework / .NET SDK / September 2004How to get "Case-Sensitive" file name?
Hi, I have a problem to get a file name with case-sensitivity. My application (actually an Windows service) is using System.IO.FileSystemWatcher class to monitor file/folder operation by users. It's working fine expect a point that the e.FullPath property has a path name in lower case only. My application is actually a "File Replication & Synchronization System" type of application. And it have be able to work with other instances running on separated Windows and Unix server machines. So my app have to know and tell real file name to the 'teamed' instances on other nodes. I tried pass the e.FullPath to System.IO.FileInfo then see FileInfo.Name and FullName property, but no luck. Why do these properties have strings in lower case only? Any workarounds? best reagards, TK From what I can see , It looks like FileSystemWatcher does that explicitly within its handler for notification changes (in unmanaged hook). I might be totally wrong of course. In its CompletionStatusChanged() handler, when it gets the name of the file, it explicitly converts it to lower case. :( I guess you probably will need to 1. Pass this as a bug so to MS. 2. Write your own win32 event notifications handler (probably in C++) which is not that hard. Sorry.
