I am checking the file exist in a folder but i am getting every time false. In that folder i have file.

code

-------

string filename = ((Label)e.Item.FindControl("Label2")).Text;

string filePath = @"Uploads\Master\MyDocsFiles\" + filename;

bool fileavail = File.Exists(filePath) ? true : false;

if (fileavail) {

Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + filePath + "\"");

Response.TransmitFile(Server.MapPath(filePath));

Response.End();

}

else

{

fileexist.Visible = true;

}

That is the code. Please give me the solution

Hi Harish,

Please check your file path it seems
@"Uploads\Master\MyDocsFiles\" + filename;
Once try to give full path by Hardcoding like i.e
@"C:\programfile\VS\ProjName\Uploads\Master\MyDocsFiles\" + filename;
then check its path problem or may be you are using datefield for creating file name.

Hi Jignesh Kumar,

I am hard coded what u said. I am getting true but i got an error

is a physical path, but a virtual path was expected.

check below code...
var fileName = @"c:\temp\foo.txt";

var fileExists =
    File.Exists(fileName) ||
    File.Exists(
        Path.Combine(
            Directory.GetParent(Path.GetDirectoryName(fileName)).FullName,
            Path.GetFileName(fileName)
        )
    );
