C# - Pdfdocument - FileNotFound

D K

public static void CreatePDFx(string path)
{
PdfDocument outputDocumentx = new PdfDocument();
}
foreach (string pat_folder in pat_folders)
{
// Initially create PDFs
Console.WriteLine("Watching this folder {0}", pat_folder);
try
{
CreatePDFx(pat_folder);
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex)
{
// Write error.
System.IO.File.WriteAllLines(@"C:\filenotfound.txt", "Error");
Console.WriteLine(ex);
}
}

I have the problem that my function always thorugh an "FileNotFoundException". I have found out that it could be a problem with line 3 in the snippet. pat_folder is only a string with a path. Its not the complete code. I am using the PDFsharp class.

Could anyone help me and tell me, why it always throw an exception? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi.
The Problem is not within the line number 3. But the problem is with your pat_folder string. Basically, pat_folder is a path i think. So in line number 13, When you are calling CreatePDFx(pat_folder); at that time you are passing pat_folder(which is a file path) but actually that path_folder is not exists physically. Due to that reason it is everytime generating FileNotFoundException.
So before calling you need to check whether that pat_folder is exists or not. Please change your code in line number 13 as below,
If(File.Exists(pat_folder))
{
CreatePDFx(pat_folder);
}
This above line suggests that, If File exists then only it will create the folder otherwise not and it will not generate any FileNotFoundException.
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried with your code in my system and it is working fine so are you using txt file in your rest of the code because there is no error in the below line.

PdfDocument outputDocumentx = new PdfDocument()
