Add this to check the existence of a particular file:
Dim sFileName As String
sFileName = “C:/text1.txt”
Dim fFile As New FileInfo(sFileName)
If Not fFile.Exists Then
MessageBox.Show(“File Not Found”)
Else
MessageBox.Show(“File Found. File was created on: ” & fFile.CreationTime)
End If
Add this to check the existence of a directory:
Dim sDirName As String
sDirName = “C:/temp”
Dim dDir As New DirectoryInfo(sDirName)
If Not dDir.Exists Then
MessageBox.Show(“Directory Not Found”)
Else
MessageBox.Show(“Directory Found. Directory was last accessed on: ” & dDir.LastAccessTime)
End If
Actually you don’t have to instantiate a new FileInfo object; you can just use System.IO.File.Exists(“path to file here”) as well as System.IO.Directory.Exists(“path here”)
FileInfo is useful to instantiate if you need other info, however.
That’s even better! Thanks for the info!
