File? or A Folder?

[Adrian Soon]

Hi... is there any coding where I can tell a path is a folder or a file? private void FileOrFolder(string path){ if(){//// condition is path is a folder } else if(){/// condition is path is a file } else{/// unknown condition. } }

I believe that File.Exists is one way to find out if something is a file.

There is also Directory.Exist in System.IO it is part of File

in my coding format how should I put it??? if(File.Exist(path)){ } else if(){ /// Find whether is folder? } else{ }

Assuming you don't already know it's a folder, use Directory.Exists as well. I assumed you knew it was one or the other, in which case, File.Exists would answer the question

ok thanks... if it is a folder.. I wish to know whether is there any file inside.. is there a shortest possible coding?

It's either File.GetAllFiles or Directory.GetAllFiles, returns a string array of file names.
