but I must work with 500 files! thank you for answering me. But I really do want to work with hundreds of files in one directory. I'm writing a tool to rename serials of files in directorys. So it is important for me, that I can handle big quantities of files. For Example, the user wants to rename all files in a drirectory but one; so, he will first select all files (Ctrl+A) and then he will de-select thos ones that he doens't want to process. That's an ordinary scene, I think. So, I don't want to send error-messages, I really want to work with hundreds of files in one selection.

But this I don't want to do, because I've written a tool for work with big collections of files. (recognize files with differnt names, renaming them, and so on)

Hi folks! Great Forum, good point that it is manged in sections for each kind of issue. My problem: I use openFileDialog in C# with multiselect=true; if the user takes about 600 files of a directory, the runtime will give him the following message: "Too many files selected" ot that like (I translate this from German language) What can I do to avoid this? Thnak you for everyone that will answer me
