Using Directory.Exists On Network Sharing UNC Path

Aug 19, 2009

I'm building an application which require to use Directory.Exists on a network share UNC path. I know how to use that function, and how to implement it in my code, it's working perfecty locally.

Here my setup:
- VS2003
- .NET 1.1
- It's an Outlook Add-In

Here the code :
Dim realpath as string = "\myserverfolder$subfolder"
Impersonation.ImpersonateUser("admin", "DOMAIN", "adminpass")
Dim isDirExist As Boolean = Directory.Exists(realpath)
If isDirExist = False Then
Directory.CreateDirectory(realpath)
End If
Impersonation.undoImpersonation()

If I build this code, and register it in Outlook with my personnal account (admin), it's working fine, I receive true. If I build this same code, an register it in the Outlook of a normal employee (user only), it's always returning FALSE, no matter if the directory exist or not. The share is set to everyone allow, and I tried giving everyone access to the ACL, and it's the same result.

Check If Directory Exists On Network?

Jun 5, 2012

I can't seem to work this out... I've got a program that references a network path. The problem is that the network files are not found when I run the program from various computers. If I have the user navigate to the network path directoy and then run the program it works perfectly.

The problem is that whenever the machine is restarted I run into the same problem and have to manually navigate to that path before the program will be able to find the files.

I then tried several checks to see if the directory exists but it's not working.

Public Sub FillListBox()
If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("\AB eamportalShared%20DocumentsJustin%27s%20AppsFeedback") Then

Create File Or Directory On Network Path?

Feb 21, 2011

I have a VB 6.0 code that creates file/directory on given path. If the path is local or a mapped drive then it's working fine but if I am having a network path like \netpathputfileshere" then it is not working. If I mapped "\netpathputfileshere" to some x: drive on local then it will work fine BUT I need not mapped this path. So is there any way to do this directly on network path. I get error for ChDrive "\netpathpullfileshere"

Windows - Have The Physical Path By Giving The Network Path?

Nov 29, 2010

Well now i have an issue which is pointing in the use of "path's" physical and network.I have a SQL server on a Server machine and i have a desktop machine used as client.I'm runing from my client machine a stored procedure in order to add a streaming data base.But also before i run this procedure i run another one which prepare the desired "path", this procedure takes:

myPath="\ServerSharedFolderSQL

in order to run the first procedure i have to turn myPath in each physical name:

myPath="DriveLetter:PublicWorkFilesSQL"

Now my Issue is how i will have the physical path, which is build it on the server and which it's from very difficult (to imposible) to know it? Basically i need a function which will return me the physical path, which the implementation it's not knowing to me. My developing environment is vb.net 2010?

Determine If Directory Exists, Create It If Not

Jan 7, 2009

I wanted to create a login system that would have 3 tabs 1 for regular login, 1 for admin login and 1 for account creation. So far so good. It saves the accounts by saving them in a .urs file in the map called /Users/. However when this map does not exist it will show a error. I would want to know what code or so to put into the form_load which will make my program create the map /Users/ if it does not exist. As im not familiar with all the codes and stuff. The only thing i can come up with is

Mkdir "/Users/"

but then ofcourse it would create the folder users everytime i start the program. not i was still "Hello Worlding" a few days ago, so i really am unfamiliar with any sort of high-skilled programming which i probably dont understand.

Directory.exists(UNCSpec) Always Returns False?

Jun 23, 2010

I am developing a Windows Service (Yes, windows service) using VB2008 and am having trouble determining whether a remote folder exists.The IF in question goes something like this:

If NOT system.io.directory.exists(strFolder) then
System.io.directory.createdirectory(strFolder)
End if

The problem is that the above test (excluding the NOT) always returns False, regardless of whether the folder exists or not. So, even if the folder exists, the next statement tries to create an already existing folder which does not go well.

The weird part(s) - after some tests

The system.io.directory.exists() works well when I type it in the immediate window for both local and network resources
It also works well when it is within a normal app (that is, not a service) regardless of whether it is local or network resource
The exists() method when in the service works well if the folder being tested is on the local machine, but fails when it is remote network resource, regardless of whether it is a true UNC or a mapped drive.It is not user's rights, as I have tested with both my own user and the localsystem user and have tested with network resources where I do have access rights.When I try to debug, the PC starts playing the Twilight Zone Theme (Ok, I am kidding about this one )Doing some searching I found that others are complaining about the same behavior, but no suitable answer has been found.

VS 2010 - Timer To Check If Directory Exists

Jun 2, 2011

I have a security timer to check if the directory exists which I want to access after it's been created by an external application, but what I have done doesn't seem to be the solution although it sounds like a very normal solution to me.

What I have done:
1) External application gets run which is going to create the directory
2) I set the variables to make the timer able to know what to check
3) My application needs to wait till the boolean variable gets set to true, so I put it in a

While:
vb.net
'Non existing files protection
While (Not bDirectoryExists)
If bDirectoryExists Then
Exit While 'In case it got created in the meanwhile
End If
If Not tmrFileCheck.Enabled Then
tmrFileCheck.Enabled = True
End If
End While

4) In my logic, the application should go out of the while now because the variable is set to true, and the code moves on, which never happens..

VS 2010 FtpWebRequest - Check Directory Exists?

Oct 26, 2010

I'm having trouble finding a reliable method to check if a directory (folder) exists on an FTP server. I want to create new directories and then upload files into them but thought it best to check if the directory already exists. Although attmepting to create a directory that already exists does not seem to cause any errors, it does waste a bit of time.

This code reliably checks if a FILE exists:

[code...]

I have attempted to modify this with ListDirectory in place of GetDateTimestamp (to check if a directory exists) but it seems no exception is thrown whether the directory exists or not. I've done lots of Googling but haven't found a satisfactory answer.

Application Path Over Network

Jul 28, 2011

I have an application in vb.net that runs over a network. Actually shortcut of the exe file is shared over LAN, so databases remain on one computer where the application has been installed. Everything works great except one thing. The logo of this application is saved in a database, that reports can pick to load picture. The logo file is chosen by the user, using OpenFileDialog and then saved in database. It is saved like D: Picturesfilename. jpg When I run the application from network (using shortcut that we have made to the main exe file), it given error on D:Picturesfilename.jpg because this doe not exits in the system that is running the shortcut. How to save the logo path in a way that it always finds it in application directory, when run over the network.

How To Get UNC Path Of Network Drive

Jul 10, 2009

I am using some like following code to get UNC path of drive letter.
Dim query As New System.Management.ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_LogicalDisk")
Using searcher As New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher(Query)
'loops for all drives on system
For Each Mgmt As System.Management.ManagementObject In searcher.Get()

And it was working but now it is giving error. Below is error with stack trace
{"Specified cast is not valid."}

at System.Management.ManagementScope.Initialize()
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Initialize()
at System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher.Get()

I also want to know alternative way to get unc path of drive that is also not depend on windows API. As there is a class driveinfo to get all drives (including network) on system. Is there any class that also provide complete or unc path information of Drive.
