Does OpenFileDialog.FileNames have a limit?

[Crash893]

I have a small helper app that I use to "inject" scripts into html pages.

I have an openfiledialog promt and i select all the html files in that directory (1403 files) and no matter what i do i see that OFD.filenames.count = 776

is there a limit?

thanks

OpenFileDialog OFD = new OpenFileDialog();
            OFD.Multiselect = true;
            OFD.Filter = "HTML Files (*.htm*)|*.HTM*|" +
          "All files (*.*)|*.*";
 
            if (OFD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                progressBar1.Maximum = OFD.FileNames.Count();
                foreach (string s in OFD.FileNames)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine(s);
                    AddAnalytics(s);
                    progressBar1.Value++;
                }
                MessageBox.Show(string.Format("Done! \r\n {0} files completed",progressBar1.Value));
                progressBar1.Value = 0;
            }

I doubt it has a limit, although I am experiencing the same issue as you (different count). You may have to use a FolderBrowserDialog instead and then use IO.Directory.GetFiles, which works properly.

that's what I've done in this case because all i want is *.htm* files but I kinda of wanted to figure this one out.

I would suggest taking a look at the implementation in .NET Reflector to see if you can see a reason that this apparent limit exists.
