Better way to check if a Path is a File or a Directory?
From How to tell if path is file or directory:
// get the file attributes for file or directory
FileAttributes attr = File.GetAttributes(@"c:\Temp");
//detect whether its a directory or file
if ((attr & FileAttributes.Directory) == FileAttributes.Directory)
MessageBox.Show("Its a directory");
else
MessageBox.Show("Its a file");
Update for .NET 4.0+
Per the comments below, if you are on .NET 4.0 or later (and maximum performance is not critical) you can write the code in a cleaner way:
// get the file attributes for file or directory
FileAttributes attr = File.GetAttributes(@"c:\Temp");
if (attr.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Directory))
MessageBox.Show("Its a directory");
else
MessageBox.Show("Its a file");
How about using these?
File.Exists();
Directory.Exists();
