Pattern matching in .Net according to the IsolatedStorageFile.GetFileNames () matching pattern

Question

Is the pattern matching logic used by this API to be reused somewhere in the .Net Framework?

Something like form FilePatternMatch( string searchPattern, stringfileNameToTest )is what I'm looking for.

I am using a temporary workaround for WP7 without filtering the results for this overload, and I would like this solution to provide a consistent experience and avoid reusing this function if it was detected.

If the behavior will not be used for reuse, a regular expression is sufficient (for example, matching glob patterns in .NET ), and I would spend time testing small details of the behavior.

Perhaps one of the answers posted in the stream above is correct. Since I have not yet confirmed the exact behavior, I could not determine this at a glance. Feel free to give me one of these answers if you know that this behavior matches the exact API indicated in the question header.

I could suggest that pattern matching is consistent with how DOS * and? in 8.3 file names (I am familiar with the behavioral nuances of this implementation), but it’s reasonable to assume that Microsoft has changed the pattern matching behavior for file names over a decade +, since I thought I'd check before proceeding with this assumption.
