  Cannot create a file when that file already exists.

  Nov 21, 2013 11:27 AM|Jhunsey|LINK

  I'm having an issue with this following bit of code. When I upload a file I want it to overwrite the existing file is there is one, but i'm getting an error when I try to do it.

  Protected Sub upBulkUpload_FileUploaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal args As CuteEditor.UploaderEventArgs) Handles upUpload.FileUploaded
          Dim strPath = Server.MapPath("/files/bustours/itinerary/")
          Dim filename As String = args.FileName
          Dim strFilePath = strPath & filename
          args.MoveTo(strFilePath)
          Dim fileUpl As New IO.FileInfo(strFilePath)
          If Not fileUpl Is Nothing Then
              SM.ConfirmationMessage = "Your itinerary document has been uploaded"
              SM.RedirectText = "Back to Bus Tours"
              SM.RedirectURL = "/bus-tours/"
              ASM.RedirectToConfirmationPage()
          Else
              SM.ConfirmationMessage = "Error uploading your itinerary document. Please go back and try again"
              SM.RedirectText = "Back"
              SM.RedirectURL = "/bus-tours/admin/itinerary.aspx"
              ASM.RedirectToConfirmationPage()
          End If
          args.Delete()
  
      End Sub

  Hi,

  One suggestion is to use the System.IO.File class methods and check if the file exists in the particular location and if file exists delete the file and then execute the move operation

  Protected Sub upBulkUpload_FileUploaded(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal args As CuteEditor.UploaderEventArgs) Handles upUpload.FileUploaded
          Dim strPath = Server.MapPath("/files/bustours/itinerary/")
          Dim filename As String = args.FileName ''= MFT.WebFunctions.FileFunctions.GetAvailableFileName(args.FileName, strPath)
          Dim strFilePath = strPath & filename
          'Check if the file exists
          If System.IO.File.Exists(strFilePath) Then
              'Delete the Existing file
              System.IO.File.Delete(strFilePath)
          End If
          'Execute the Move to operation
              args.MoveTo(strFilePath)
              Dim fileUpl As New IO.FileInfo(strFilePath)
              If Not fileUpl Is Nothing Then
                  SM.ConfirmationMessage = "Your itinerary document has been uploaded"
                  SM.RedirectText = "Back to Bus Tours"
                  SM.RedirectURL = "/bus-tours/"
                  ASM.RedirectToConfirmationPage()
              Else
                  SM.ConfirmationMessage = "Error uploading your itinerary document. Please go back and try again"
                  SM.RedirectText = "Back"
                  SM.RedirectURL = "/bus-tours/admin/itinerary.aspx"
                  ASM.RedirectToConfirmationPage()
              End If
              args.Delete()
  
      End Sub

  Thanks,
