I believe this is a limitation of Windows, not of .NET.

I think some Windows API can handle path longer than 260 chars in their
Unicode version.
But the framework defines the max to 260.
So, the solution could be to use API perhaps.
 
Hello Peter,

use unicode version if winapi.
Just user the "\\?\" prefix for this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365247.aspx
