I agree that was ideal solution, but as far as I know it can't be determined in a platform-independent way. We could P/Invoke to get the info, but I wasn't sure that if that was cool to do, since it won't work for the Mono guys. Another option would be to have a global app.config setting for case-sensitivity. Or, we could just assume that if we can't do the P/Invoke, we're on Unix, and so assume case-sensitive. I'm not sure what kind of exception Mono would throw in that case - NotSupportedException maybe? As for the config stuff, I was thinking it might be useful for things like paths to compilers. It would be nice if those things didn't have to be in the search path to run. Not a top priority, of course, just a nice-to-have. --- Scott Hernandez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks for bringing these up.
