file - Maximum Length For Filename -


what maximum length allowed filenames? , max different different operating system? i'm asking because have trouble creating or deleting files, , suspect error because of long file names.

1. creating:

i wrote program read xml source , save copy of file. xml contains hundreds of <document>, , each have childnode <name> , <format>, saved file named based on read in xml. example, if have code below, save file called test.txt

<document>     <name>test</name>     <format>.txt</format> </document>

i declared counter in code, , found out not files saved. after going through large xml file, found out program fail save files <name> whole paragraph long. modify code save different name if <name> longer 15 characters, , went through no problem. think issue filename long.

2. deleting

i found random file on computer, , not able delete it. error says file name long, if rename file 1 character. file doesn't take space, annoying being there , not doing anything.

so overall question is: maximum , minimum length filenames? differ based on operating system? , how can delete file mentioned in 2?

it depends on filesystem. have here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/comparison_of_file_systems#limits

255 characters common maximum length these days.

vb.net - Virtual Keyboard commands -

i wondering difference between virtual these keyboard commands is: keyeventf_extendedkey , keyeventf_keyup is. everywhere have looked gives me description based off integers , not want know each of them does. you've tagged question vb.net, these have nothing @ vb.net. they're constants defined in windows header files, use win32 api functions. as far difference, can't tell looking @ values. individual values not particularly important, that's why named identifiers used. what's important used , documentation functions tells mean. the first one, keyeventf_extendedkey , used keybdinput structure (which used along e.g. sendinput function) pass information synthesized keyboard input. if flag used, means scan code should interpreted extended key. technically, means scan code preceded prefix byte value 224 (&he0 in hexadecimal notation). the second one, keyeventf_keyup , 1 of flags available use structure. means key being released (going up)...
