File.Exist Occurs Randomly?
Jun 21, 2012
Right now I have a program that checks login credentials against my Access(2003) database.It works, but the problem I'm having is that it's checking if the file.exist to frequently and with no real pattern. How I'm doing it isI have a My.Setting that saves the file path string as well as the connection string, during form_load I check if the My.Setting path string exist, if not then use an openfiledialog to find the file. Right now I have the database in a public drive, which is why I think that my program thinks that the file doesn't exist sometimes. This is how I'm doing all of the above:
'Some global variables commented out
'Dim log As String = My.Settings.loginStr
'Dim logCon As String = My.Settings.loginCon

I am trying to create a log file to log when an exception occurs (if it does) and what exceptions occured. I have posted the code I have so far. What I would like to do is be able to set the path I want it to go to (ie: C:VB ProjectLogs). I can run my code with the current Logging code but cannot find the file. Is there some sort of create command i need to use first?
Sub LogWrite(ByVal ex)
Dim time As String
Dim Path As Microsoft.VisualBasic.Logging.LogFileLocation

The code is very simple.
If File.Exists(strFileMovingTo) Then File.Delete(strFileMovingTo)
If File.Exists(strFileMovingTo) Then
Call SendEmail(Globals.EmailInternetTeam, "dev-sql@fad.co.uk", "Display Jpg
[Code]....
However a FileNotFoundException exception is thrown during File.Copy even though its wrapped in a If File.Exists ... End If to check its existance.
The great thing is if you run this through the debugger it nearly always works, when released as an app it almost never works.

I feel quite silly posting this as I know my way around C++ decently and am writing an application in VB however I am getting quite frustrated with this problem.
Dim FileNo As Integer
FileNo = FreeFile()
Dim FILE_NAME As String = "C: est.txt"
[Code].....
When executing the above code it says at the FileOpen operation that the document does not exist or the relative path may not be right... I have looked in many place over the internet and even used the same examples from the Microsoft website however I get the same error.

I'm trying to download a file using ftp and then using a streamreader to read it and write it to a text file. The problem is, when I download the file and read it, either it did not get all the data or it stops writing the data to the local file and doesnt produce any error, it just sits there. I've tried it with many different files from the ftp site and this always happens.
Private Sub Download(ByVal stateURI As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal pWord As String)

I'm getting a suprising FileNotFoundException although i'm sure that the file exists.I simply wanted to add Logfiles(IO.FileInfo) as attachments to an email, therefore i tried to check the length of every file to detect if they must be added/zipped.This works fine if these files already exist. But if i've created them in this run, i get above exception when i try to check the length. It's oddly enough that i can write into these "not existing" files(actually FileInfo.Exists returns false) without a problem one line before.
Here is some code...
Creating one of the files in the constructor of a class named Log:
Me.LogFile = New IO.FileInfo(infoLogPath)
If Not LogFile.Exists() Then
'tried to use `Using` on the Stream but that doesn't change anything'

I've just recently started noticing this crash as my program has gotten more complicated. I have a few lines that look like this in my program:
Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
The problem that I am seeing is that my program is updating these files every second, so sometimes the files are being appended and or just being replaced as it is trying to run this line. Receive the error, "File is in use or does not exist." Is there anyway to put a line of code that tells the program that if the file does not exist to check again till the file does exist.
Sort of:
If System.IO.File.exists(cstr("C:deviceinfo.txt")) then
Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
else
loop
endif
Or I read somewhere that you can use:
If Len(Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt")) < 0 Then
or
If Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt") <> "" Then
Maybe:
Loop while Len(Dir("C:deviceinfo.txt")) < 0
else Dim alines() = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("C:deviceinfo.txt")
next
I realize the danger of having a possible never ending loop in the program, but I cant think of another way to have the program wait for data and use the data immediately as it becomes available. I looked into having a wait() sub or to do system.threading, but my rational behind not using those are because waiting for 200 ms doesnt ensure that the data actually shows up, I could still receive the error.

With a program I'm writing, I'm using saved data from program instance to the next. So I'm just using a simple text file to save some data. But the first time the user runs it, obviously the text file will not already be created. How can I write the code to see if the file exists? I tried to use a StreamReader but it trips up when the code runs if the text file does not already exist. And if I use a StreamWriter every time, it will overwrite the file and lose all the data. How I can see if a specific file exists already, and if not create a new one? If it does exist, then open that pre-existing file?

I'm writing a SSIS 2005 script (vb.net)in which I want the functionality to checks if a file exists if so then delete it.For testing purposes I'm renaming files to replicate an exception i.e. file cannot be read for whatever circumstance,to ensure the error handling is correct.The code works fine and catches any errors with the File.Exists(errorLookUpLog File) command, if the file does not exist/cannot be read but not with the code below using System.IO.File.Delete(lookupErrorLogFile) as when file is renamed and therefore cannot be deleted (looking for the file under it's original name then no exception is shown (see full code below, have yet to try catching specific exception for if a files doesnt exist)[code]

when people first run my program (as in the FIRST EVER time they run it), I want a window to popup (Form4). In this Form you have to locate a directory to a certain program (my program uses this program) and press OK, and then that will generate a .txt file with the directory to the program. (So that my program knows where that program is located.) Now, what I want it to do is when you open up the program, upon load (Form1), I want the program to check if that text file (directory.txt) exists. If it does and the path in the file is correct, the program will run fine. If the text file is missing and/or the directory doesn't exist, it will bring you back to Form4 (assuming that this is your first time running the program since the directory.txt file doesn't exist).
