Looking at the MSDN I found the following statement:
NOTE:
When using the asterisk wildcard character in a searchPattern (for example, "*.txt"), the matching behavior varies depending on the length of the specified file extension.
A searchPattern with a file extension of exactly three characters returns files with an extension of three or more characters, where the first three characters match the file extension specified in the searchPattern.
A searchPattern with a file extension of one, two, or more than three characters returns only files with extensions of exactly that length that match the file extension specified in the searchPattern.
When using the question mark wildcard character, this method returns only files that match the specified file extension.
For example, given two files in a directory, "file1.txt" and "file1.txtother", a search pattern of "file?.txt" returns only the first file, while a search pattern of "file*.txt" returns both files.
and
NOTE:
Because this method checks against file names with both the 8.3 file name format and the long file name format, a search pattern similar to "*1*.txt" may return unexpected file names. For example, using a search pattern of "*1*.txt" will return "longfilename.txt" because the equivalent 8.3 file name format would be "longf~1.txt".
Microsoft is saying that the following searchpattern is in effect:
The following list shows the behavior of different lengths for the searchPattern parameter:"*.abc" returns files having an extension of.abc,.abcd,.abcde,.abcdef, and so on.
"*.abcd" returns only files having an extension of.abcd.
"*.abcde" returns only files having an extension of.abcde.
"*.abcdef" returns only files having an extension of.abcdef.
So I came up with these three extensions for the DirectoryInfo to work around the issue.
