Comparing file paths

[AmaraEmerson]

Hi, I'm using C# with .NET 2.0.

I've got some code that searches for files in a specific directory, however pending some changes I could have the situation where a file exists in the list of found files multiple times. The filenames may not be exactly the same, but I want to know if there is a way of determining whether or not two paths actually point to the same file.

I can't compare strings, because of the possibility of capitalisation of characters in different places.

Thanks,
Amara

string comparison can be with disregarding capitalization using.
And what do you mean different paths pointing to the same file?

Do you mean like:
"C:\myfile. txt"
and
"\myfile.tx t"


If you create a FileInfo object for all of your strings, you can use the full path (absolute path?) to compare if the locations given point to the same file.
