store file location

[Kim0618]

Hi, I want to store the location of a file in C# program, but the file may be moved into another location. So besides using the File System Watcher, can I store other information of the file instead of the location, so that the shell or window can recognize the file by the stored info and give me the new location information ? Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. Do you mean you want dynamic info for your program that's not hard coded? If so, use app.config. If that's not what you mean, please clarify it for me. :confused:

AFAIK no, since files (on FAT and NTFS) are identified by their fully qualified name. Methinks you're better off storing information such as this in the registry. /ravi
