File.Exist(RecentelyCreatedPDFUsingPdfCreator_File Path) returns false

[fastestindian]

I m working on a Sending mail functionality. In that I first create a pdf and then attach that PDF to the mail and send to the use.

Problem
1) is when I check for

strPDFFile= Server.MapPath("~/HTMLReportSource/PDFSchedules/" & "ABC.pdf")
If File.Exists(strPDFFile) Then
                strAttachmentPath = "~/HTMLReportSource/PDFSchedules/" & ViewState("VS2005_GENERATED_POLICY_NO") & ".pdf"
 
            Else
                strAttachmentPath = ""
end if
 

I get value as false even though I can see the file.
2) even If i give the path of the pdf file using

attach = New Attachment(System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(strAttachmentPath))
                        smail.Attachments.Add(attach )

I get exception.


I m not sure why this happening as if I send PDFFileNamePath with previously created file, it works fine.
But issue is with the recently created file.

Please help me on this issue as I have already wasted lot of time on this.
thanks in advance.

Use the debugger and check the value of the strPDFFile variable at runtime.

Make sure it is the path that you are expecting it to be.

Path is as expected and i can see the file also but still i am not able to find the file in File.Exists().

On line 1 you have:

strPDFFile= Server.MapPath("~/HTMLReportSource/PDFSchedules/" & "ABC.pdf")

Are you sure you are supposed to be checking if "ABC.pdf" exists?

Or are you supposed to be looking to see if ViewState("VS2005_GENERATED_POLICY_NO") & ".pdf" exists?
