How to check if a file exists in a folder?

Question

I need to check if an xml file exists in the folder.

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(ProcessingDirectory);
FileInfo[] TXTFiles = di.GetFiles(\"*.xml\");         


        

Answer 1

Use FileInfo.Exists Property:

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(ProcessingDirectory);
FileInfo[] TXTFiles = di.GetFiles("*.xml");
if (TXTFiles.Length == 0)
{
    log.Info("no files present")
}
foreach (var fi in TXTFiles)
    log.Info(fi.Exists);

or File.Exists Method:

string curFile = @"c:\temp\test.txt";
Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(curFile) ? "File exists." : "File does not exist.");
