Asa said it all.  Horrible interface now that it returns error message so can't use as a function.

It broke a tone of stuff when I upgraded to platform 11.  Especially the basic GetDirectoryName, GetFilename and GetFileExtension are just string manipulations and should not need domain, username and password access let alone error results.

Sorry guys.  Sticking to v2.xx recompiled under patform 11.

I would have given the component full stars since it is fully functional, with new cool features.  However, previous versions had File_Exists and File_GetSize as functions.  Now the new version has an extra out parameter on both methods, excluding them from being functions.  In applications where one uses these methods a lot, there are so many incompatible references that are caused by upgrading, that it seems to be better to keep the old version.
