Dear,

I want to check whethe the txt file is corrupt or not. For that I have created the currupted file from below site online. When my exe open that currupted file, it will open the successfully, it does not throw the exception.

I want that when my exe open the currepted file, it will throw the exception.

Below is my code.

public bool isCorruptFile(string txtFile)
{
try
{
System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(txtFile);
if (System.IO.FileAttributes.ReadOnly == fi.Attributes)
{
}
if (fi.IsReadOnly)
{

}
return false;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
return true;
}
}

is any code for that.

Thanks,

Are you trying to create corrupt file on your own? and then trying to test it with your code to open that text file?

Please use file open within a function with try - catch to identify whether the file is corrupt or not. Try to call the function to check whether the text file is valid or not.
