Why do i encounter 'pathtoolongexception in c#?'

Example:

string longPath = new string('a', 260) + "\file.txt";
File.WriteAllText(longPath, "data");

Trying to use a file path longer than the system-defined maximum length.

Solution:

This error occurs when a path exceeds the system's maximum path length. Ensure your paths are within the allowed length or consider restructuring your directories to avoid deeply nested folders.


// Use shorter paths or restructure directories
