checking whether a file exist

[Meax]

This doesn't work. Eventhough the image is there in the directory i get "Does not exist" If CheckFileExists("http://localhost/MySite/images/Mouse.jpg") Then Response.Write("Exist") Else Response.Write("Does not exist") End If Howerver this works. in my page i get the msg "Exist" If CheckFileExists("C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MySite\images\Mouse.jpg") Then Response.Write("Exist") Else Response.Write("Does not exist") End If This is the function i am using. Call this function in my page load event Function CheckFileExists(ByVal sFileName) Dim FileSystemObject FileSystemObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") If (FileSystemObject.FileExists(sFileName)) Then CheckFileExists = True Else CheckFileExists = False End If FileSystemObject = Nothing End Function So, wondering why it doesn't work when i use "http://localhost/MySite/images/Mouse.jpg" can you guys help me with this thanks

The method accepts a path not a URL. Use HttpServerUtility.Mappath to convert a relative path to physical path. -- modified at 6:01 Saturday 5th November, 2005
