Answer 1

It is important to know that, Files are just references to pointers that point to an array of bytes in memory.

When a file writing operation is asked to write a file to a pointer, it will not check if the file exist; Simply, the file system will allow the operation to continue unless the bytes in memory are being used (although you can force overwrite).

If you want to check if a file exist before writing the file use my GetDirectory method in VB.net here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28664731/2701974
