Question

Does .net have a way to determine whether the local filesystem is case-sensitive?

Answer 1

You can create a file in the temp folder (using lowercase filename), then check if the file exists (using uppercase filename), e.g:

string file = Path.GetTempPath() + Guid.NewGuid().ToString().ToLower(); File.CreateText(file).Close(); bool isCaseInsensitive = File.Exists(file.ToUpper()); File.Delete(file);
