Directory.Exists not working for a network path

Question

I have a line of code checking if a directory exists and then getting the list of files in it.

System.IO.Directory.Exists(@\"\\\\Server\\Folder\\\");
         


        

Answer 1

I may be a little late, but i've found that there is a problem on this method of the Directory class. Instead i've used DirectoryInfo with impersonation this way:

new DirectoryInfo(path).Exists

This way you avoid the whole identity change problem, which was denied by our IT area.

I hope this helps somebody!
