HI

I have an aspx page that imports the System.IO namespace. Then in thePage_Load event I have an if(File.Exists("filename.xml")) {} it keepson returning false for some reason even when the file exists in thesame directory. It works fine with the ASP.NET WebMatrix webserver butit returns false with IIS.

Anyone have any ideas on what is happening?
Thanks

Hi I tried that and it didnt work, however i'v worked my way around
that and using exception handling for the same effect. I wanted to do
some processing if the file existed but now I do the processing anyway
and if the file doesn't exist then its trapped in try and catch block.
Thanks
