File.GetAttributes unreliable? September 22, 2005
Ha! I am so hoping that there is something I’m missing, yet again I’ve come across a problem with .NET class libraries, that needs to be worked around!
if (File.GetAttributes(srcPath) == System.IO.FileAttributes.Directory)
Is the statement in question. ’srcPath’ is a string that contains the path to a directory. So this if should always fall to the true part, right? Wrong, with some directories it doesn’t. Is it possible for a directory to have the Directory attribute flag NOT set?
Anyways, a more reliable way to find this out is to use:
File.Exists(srcPath) { … }
Directory.Exists(srcPath) { … }
in whatever way you prefer…back to work!
google talk September 21, 2005
i’ve been using google talk for a while now, hmmm, actually ever since it came out. and slowly over time my friends list have grown, people have even moved from other IM networks/clients over to gtalk. only problem is, gtalk is feature limited. file sending? encryption between me and buddy? ect ect. maybe I should go see if I can find info at google about this…
