Verifying a file path + other file path operations

(Using C#)

Question 1:
Is there an easy build-in support for determining wether a given file path
is

1) A valid file path (Only legal characters)
2) The file exists
3) The path exists

Question 2:
In there an easy way to extract the file name, the path or the file
extension from an absolut or relative file path?

Thank you very much!!

regards, Teis

Teis,

Have a look at

The path class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

The file class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

The directoryinfo class
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp

I hope this help?

Hi! Here is the problem: I'd like to restrict local filesystem stream operations to one directory just like a root jail. fopen('/file.bin') would actually open /some/path/file.bin. One goal of this behavior is to prevent Xinclude instructions to point to "out of application directory" files when processed by the XSLT processor, among other things.
