Dear all, IMO in C++ .NET it's not good idea to use "windows.h"'s plain C functions because someday Microsoft will call them all deprecated or current implementation will not allow make client's code purely managed. .NET implementation of boost::filesystem will make usage of library more safe. Plus, .NET implementaion will possibly work on other platforms than Windows where such classes are available. Actually I don't know any, but I believe Microsoft or somebody else will find a way to do it. So, may be add one more implementation? Sooner or later it should be done. Any thoughts? -- Pavel Chikulaev
