  if (File_Extenention.Length > 1)

  Jul 27, 2014 04:50 PM|null_name|LINK

  string file = GridView.DataKeys[e.Row.RowIndex].Values[1].ToString();

  string[] File_Extenention= file.Split('.');

  if (File_Extenention.Length > 1)

  {//do some code}

  what does this line if (File_Extenention.Length > 1) mean ?

  File_Extenention is an array. That line of code is checking if the array has any elements in it. So basically making sure that the split() "worked"?

  File and extension is separated by
  dot. If the value contain filename
  with extension will be splitted into
  two parts or more.

  Gogle/bing string.Split(). Maybe that will clarify what I'm trying to tell you.

  'hallo.txt' will be split into 'hallo' and 'text'; the split() returns an array with 2 strings.

  'hallo.null_name.txt' will be split into 'hallo', 'null_name' and 'txt'; the split() returns an array with 3 strings.

  if (File_Extenention.Length > 1)
  {
  }

  If there is more than one element in the array, the file has an extension.
