  file.Exists function not working

  Dim f1 As New FileInfo(Server.MapPath("/CaseStudyImages/TemporaryImages/"))
              Dim f2 As New FileInfo(Server.MapPath("/CaseStudyImages/" & success & "/"))
              Dim dir1 As DirectoryInfo = f1.Directory
              Dim dir2 As DirectoryInfo = f2.Directory
               Dim Folder1Files As FileInfo() = dir1.GetFiles()
              If Folder1Files.Length > 0 Then
                  For Each aFile As FileInfo In Folder1Files
                      If File.Exists("f1" & aFile.Name) Then
                          File.Delete("f2" & aFile.Name)
                      End If
                      aFile.MoveTo("f2" & aFile.Name)
                  Next
          End If

  In this line its showing errror, File.Exists("f1" & aFile.Name) Then

  System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied. 

  i think tprb is with exists function

  Which part of "Access to the path is denied" you do not understand? File.Exists function requires read permissions on the path that's being checked, you need to sort out permissions.

  sorry u were wrong 

  we have to pass string in exist function 

  here is the working code

  Dim filepathName As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/CaseStudyImages/" & success & "/")
              Dim filepathName2 As String = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/CaseStudyImages/TemporaryImages/")
  
              Dim dir1 As New DirectoryInfo(filepathName2)
              Dim dir2 As New DirectoryInfo(filepathName)
              Dim Folder1Files As FileInfo() = dir1.GetFiles()
              If Folder1Files.Length > 0 Then
                  For Each aFile As FileInfo In Folder1Files
                      aFile.MoveTo(filepathName & aFile.Name)
                      If File.Exists(filepathName & aFile.Name) Then
                          File.Delete(filepathName2 & aFile.Name)
                      End If
                  Next
              End If
