System.IO.Directory.Exists with drive as parameter doesn't work in Vista (?)

[ea3 lf]

Hi, We have a program, made with C#: that's why I am here :-). In order to check for a drive existence, we use System.IO.Directory.Exists, giving the drive letter and root folder as parameters (i. e., "C:\\"). Under Windows XP it runs just fine, but under Windows Vista, the call always return false, even against C:\. Could anybody give us any advice about it...? It's driving us nuts!! :confused: Fidel Leon - EA3LF

Im sorry, I downgraded back to Vista (because it wasn't worth it imo on a <3000$ laptop) but I can confirm that it works on XP.

Visual Studio can't evaluate this, can you? public object moo { __get { return moo; } __set { moo = value; } }

Well, being Windows Vista, you probably need to set the IO security rights before it will let you read/check/validate or anything else ... Have a look-see at this topic: FileIOPermission[^]
