  checking file exits in the absolute path

  Sep 29, 2011 05:41 AM|LINK

  Dear friends,

  how can i check if the file exist in the absolute path. 

  for example i have images in the absolute path from which i have to check if the image exits 

  I can do it from FILE.EXIST(path)

  this method is not working for absolute path, even if the file exits its is showing the file doesnt exist.

  is there any method to do this.

  you first need to get the path from server.mappath() method like in the below example

   Dim strImageLocation As String = "~/Images/photo/" + strItemCode + ".jpg"
  
              Dim strActualImagePath As String = Server.MapPath(strImageLocation)
              Dim imgBtnImage As ImageButton = e.Item.FindControl("imgBtnImage")
              imgBtnImage.ImageUrl = strImageLocation
  
              Dim myfile As New FileInfo(strActualImagePath)
              If myfile.Exists() Then
  
                  imgBtnImage.ImageUrl = strImageLocation
              Else
                  imgBtnImage.ImageUrl = "~/Images/NoImage.png"
  
              End If
