In .NET, I think I can determine if a file is a symbolic link by calling System.IO.File.GetAttributes(), and checking for the ReparsePoint bit. like so:

var a = System.IO.File.GetAttributes(fileName);
if ((a & FileAttributes.ReparsePoint) != 0)
{
    // it's a symlink
}

How can I obtain the target of the symbolic link, in this case?

ps: I know how to create a symbolic link. It requires P/Invoke:

[Interop.DllImport("kernel32.dll", EntryPoint="CreateSymbolicLinkW", CharSet=Interop.CharSet.Unicode)] 
public static extern int CreateSymbolicLink(string lpSymlinkFileName, string lpTargetFileName, int dwFlags);
