Need case-sensitive file search in VB.net

I need to determine if a specified path exists, including the case, but .net
isn't making this easy.

system.io.file. exists is case-insensitive. If I create a fileinfo object in
hopes to retrieve the FullName property, or use
System.IO.Path. GetFullPath(Pat h), the exact case used in the search is
returned. In other words, if I ToLower the path, I get a LC path returned.

Any suggestions?

My guess would be that you have the proper case if you enumerate the
directories from the parent object (something like
di=di.Parent.Ge tDirectories(di .Name)(0) where di is the DirectoryInfo you
previously found).

You may want to elaborate a bit what is the exact problem it causes in your
application

I have a lot of respect for David Fenton and Allen Browne, but I don't understand why people who know how to write code to completely replace a front end do not write something that will automate the code that implements managing unbound controls on forms given the superior performance of unbound controls in a client/server environment. I can easily understand a newbie using bound controls or someone with a tight deadline. I guess I need...

I have some text in a page that when a certain even happens, I need to make it glow from black to red (through a spand of 1 second) pause for a few seconds, and then slowly change from red to black over a span of 1 second again. Lastly, this needs to be compatible with NS 4 if possible, or if not possible, then at least so NS4 doesnt crash or get errors. This is to flag a user that something has happened. Thanks.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
