How to use File.Exists?

Hi all,

I have the below string variable and I am wondering how to check if this file
is present???

string str_Path = @"C:\Documents and Settings\DanielD\My Documents\PLAY AREA\
HLS 2\Layouts£.mdb"

Thanks,
Steve.

File.Exists is a static method, so you don't need an object. Just
write it as it is.

if (File.Exists(str_Path)) // using your variable name
{
// ... run this code if the file exists ...
}

try this:

string str_Path = @"C:\Documents and Settings\DanielD\My
Documents\PLAY AREA\HLS 2\Layouts£.mdb"
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(str_Path);
bool exists = fi.Exists;
