File.Exists

[Meelis Lilbok]

Hi

I have problme with my webservice(VB.Net 2.0)

If i use File.Exists() it always returns false.
File is 100% there, all permissions are set, but i get False

Any Ideas?

hi meelis,
are you absolutely sure of the identity that is running your code, and that
it has read permissions on the file?

if the path is correct and the file does exist, then as an experiment you
could try to open a stream to the file using the FileMode.CreateNew, this
should throw an IOException if the file is already there.

FileStream f = new FileStream(path, FileMode.CreateNew...

this would at least serve as a double check as to the existence of the file
and adequate permissions. if you get a different exception when opening the
stream, post it here.

hope this helps
