View 1 RepliesI 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..

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:

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.
I need to detect if a file exists within drive C: but I do not know in advance in which directory it should be located so this means that I have to search the entire disk. Is there a way to perform this process directly (through an existing method for example) or do I have to write code for getting the directory structure and search each directory?

Is it possible to check if a Logical device gathered through a WMI search request is a CD/DVD Drive? Right now, I can get the path of every Win32_LogicalDisk through WMI, but E: (for me) is my DVD drive and unless there is a disc, my program fails because it tries to count the number of folders/files on the disc.
Ultimately, I'd like to be able to tell if it is a CD/DVD drive then check to see if there is a disc there before I do anything else to it. Can it be done using WMI?

This is the standard way of checking if URL exists [code]....
return true; } catch (Exception ex) { return false; } But my problem is that we have to check it for around 100 URL's. It takes more then 2 minutes to check for all as it is trying to get response of all of them. Is there any way that we can check if URL exists without getting complete Response so that total response time is less.
In my code, I want to check if a referrer url exists and if the referrer url contains a specific sub string. I know how to check for the sub string:
If( InStr( Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(), "some sub string here" ) > 0 ) Then
But I don't know how to check if a referrer exists or not. No refer exists if the url is entered in manually in the address bar. So I tried this, but this does not work:
If (Not (Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() = "")) And (InStr(Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(), "some sub string here") > 0) Then
how do check if a referrer exists?

View 2 RepliesI am using Caspol.exe to install a custom Permission set and add Code Groups for my .Net 2.0 Windows Application.
I have created a Console Application that uses caspol.exe to add Permission Set and Code Groups. I first install the Permission Set and if I do not get an error, I continue to install the Code Groups
Now sometimes I need to add a new Code Group to the client machine, so I make the changes to the console app and it is executed on the client machine. If the client machine already has the Permission Set installed, it returns an error and stops the further processing.
So, I want to know if I can check whether a custom Permission Set is already added or not?

View 6 RepliesI have a small database. 2 main tables called CaseDetails and Checks.Each record in CaseDetails can have 3 checks recorded against it in the Checks table. But can only have one check of each type (check types 1, 2, 3).I have 3 linkbuttons which will take the user to the input form for each 'check'. If a 'check' already exists i want to hide the linkbutton that takes the user to that 'check type' input form (the 3 input forms have different fields).So what i need to do, is connect to the SQL database and see if a record exists for each 'check type' and hide the linkbutton to prevent users from entering another record with the same 'check type'?I have tried reading the reults into an array and examining that array, but havent been able to do so.

I am trying to figure out how to check if a registry key exists. If it does, do nothing, if it doesn't, recreate it.I've found numerous resources on the subject, and have made progress, but one little thing is stoping me.[code]The problem is that this reports "Not Found", even though the key 'regkey' exists in the registry. Also, if I remove 'regkey' from the code, it reports "Found". So it does find the subdirectory in the registry.My question is, how do I check to see if the 'regkey' exists? I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2.
