Detect If A File Exists Within Drive C:?
Jun 18, 2010I 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?

View 2 RepliesVS 2010 File Exists?
Apr 17, 2012I have the following
If Dir("C:Test.txt") <> "" Then TextBox1.Text = "File exists" Else TextBox1.Text = "File does not exist"
End If However, I'd like to use this alongside a DataGridView.
Basically, when the application runs, the user selects a folder for file storage. Then, in the DataGridView, the contents in each cell of Column 1 become the file name. In short, the contents of a cell, plus the selected folder for file storage, becomes a whole file path.I need to use the above code to get my application to check if the file exists, and if it does, it should place the text "File Exists" in column 2 of the DGV.
I can't work out a way for the DGV to be "continually aware" if files have been created and so to update automatically without the user having to press buttons etc. As soon as the file exists, the correct text should be placed in Column2.

View 1 RepliesC# - How To File.Exists In Nunit Test
Dec 22, 2010I have a method which tests for the existence of a file prior to carrying out some manipulation of file content as follows:
[Code]...
The idea is that if the file does not exist, then the file is generated by calls to the NLog logger instance, at which point the file is created and the specified header info is inserted. The method works fine from the application itself, however I have a simple NUnit test which implements a test method to verify that the file is created and populated as expected. When I step through with the debugger, I find that '_logPath' is set to:
D:Documents and SettingsTE602510Local SettingsTemp
unit20ShadowCopyCache4288_634286300896838506Tests_-1937845265assemblydl37cdfe61aaa18c98d_f0a1cb01logs2010-12-22.log
Unfortunately, despite the fact that the file DOES exist, the call to File.Exists returns false. From earlier viewing of the config path the above path would appear to be correct for these NUnit tests. Does anybody have a clue what is happening here and what I need to do to get the desired result? The pathname to the log file as per the XP file system is:D:Documents and SettingsTE602510My Documents_VSSWorkAreaPsalertsIpTestsinDebuglogs

Checking If A File Exists And Then Saving?
May 22, 2012I haven't used System.IO before, and I'm a little stuck.I need to check if a file exists, for example C:Documents and SettingsverraineDesktopSURNAME Firstname v1.docx, if this file exists the filename has to become v2, and so on. Usually there will only be a v1, but in the case that a clients position changes we have to be able to save the new version without overwriting the old one.
How would I be able to do this efficiently? I'm uncertain to say the least. Because, if I manage to find out how to save the file as a different number, that's alright, but if that next number exists as well? I can only think of ways to do this that require a lot of code.
Determine If URL Exists Without Requesting The File?
Jan 25, 2010I would like to check if a URL exists -- without requesting the file. The program needs to check if a PDF or Excel spreadsheet exists at a particular URL. If it does, it might want to download the file, but it should not download it every time.
I currently use the WebBrowser.Navigate method to do this, but it always downloads the file. But I don't want to actually download the .pdf or .xls file, I just want to determine if the URL exists.

Duplicating Effort By Uploading Even If The File Exists?
Jun 18, 2010I am new to vb-net and am self-teaching and developing an application to combine a number of tasks which use different apps at the moment. I have a routine to ftp upload files but I am duplicating effort by uploading even if the file exists. Is there a simple "file exists()" type solution similar to:
If System.IO.File.Exists(strPic) = True Then so that file is only uploaded if it does not already exist?
