How To Open A File + Sourabh Das

[Dot Net Jantu]

Hi All, I have a text box in which a file path is displayed. A button to click and open the file. Code executes properly but the file dosent open. Here is the Code:

Private Sub btnOpen_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnOpen.Click
Try
strIOPath = ucFile.TxtCode.Text
If strIOPath = "" Then
ShowMessage("No File For This Transaction")
Exit Sub
End If
If IO.File.Exists(strIOPath) Then
File.Open(strIOPath, FileMode.Create)
Else
ShowMessage("File Not Found")
End If
Catch ex As Exception
ShowMessage(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub

Thanks and Regards,

hi File.Open(strIOPath, FileMode.Create) FileMode.Create = Specifies that the operating system should create a new file. If the file already exists, it will be overwritten. try with FileMode.Open regards

hi, if File.Open does not do what you expect, then maybe your expectations are incorrect. Go and check the documentation. That is what it is for. :)
