Hi,

see System.IO.File and System.IO.FileInfo classes
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/
frlrfsystemiofileclasstopic.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...us/cpref/html/
frlrfSystemIOFileInfoClassTopic.asp

For example checking file's existance would be

Dim fileExists As Boolean = System.IO.File.Exists("C:\file.txt")
If fileExists Then...
'Do something with the file
Else
'File does not exist
End if

Use the System.IO NameSpace classes. Specifically, you'll be interested in
the File, Directory, FileInfo, and DirectoryInfo classes. See:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rfsystemio.asp

or, better yet, get your own free copy of the Microsoft .Net SDK from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

can this check for netowrk file

like

Dim fileExists As Boolean =
System.IO.File.Exists("\\msnt102\shared\file.txt")
If fileExists Then...
'Do something with the file
Else
'File does not exist
End if

this code didnt work...I tried mapping that drive too like

Dim fileExists As Boolean = System.IO.File.Exists("x:\shared\file.txt")

are there any special permissions required....any thoughts

it should as long as the user that IIS is running under has that drive
mapped or has permission to the server/share

This is something configutation issue. I have many such machines which will
have mdb files and I want to access those from my ASP.NET application

Machine A is IIS, ASP.NET application
Machine B,C,D,E,......Z has some files shared....

does that mean that I need toc reate IUSR_A, on each of the machine
B,C,D,E....Z and have that user give permissions....

thanks

huh? Are they all accessing these from the same website/page? If so
that's the IIS user machine I'm talking about...
