Remarks

Note

This exception is not included in .NET for Windows Store apps or the Portable Class Library, but it is thrown by some members that are. To catch the exception in that case, write a catch statement that handles an IOException instead.

Starting with apps running under .NET Framework 4.6.2, .NET supports long paths in excess of 260 (or MAX_PATH) characters. The runtime throws a PathTooLongException under the following conditions:

The operating system returns COR_E_PATHTOOLONG or its equivalent.
The length of the path exceeds Int16.MaxValue (32,767) characters.

PathTooLongException uses the HRESULT COR_E_PATHTOOLONG, which has the value 0x800700CE.

Constructors

PathTooLongException()	Initializes a new instance of the PathTooLongException class with its HRESULT set to COR_E_PATHTOOLONG.
PathTooLongException(SerializationInfo, StreamingContext)	Obsolete. Initializes a new instance of the PathTooLongException class with the specified serialization and context information.
PathTooLongException(String)	Initializes a new instance of the PathTooLongException class with its message string set to `message` and its HRESULT set to COR_E_PATHTOOLONG.
PathTooLongException(String, Exception)	Initializes a new instance of the PathTooLongException class with a specified error message and a reference to the inner exception that is the cause of this exception.
