Determine if a Directory Exists in Visual Basic

Determine if a Directory Exists in Visual Basic

To determine if a directory exists
Use the My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists method, supplying the path, to determine whether or not the specified directory exists. The following example checks to determine whether or not the directory C:\backup\errorlogs exists and checks its properties.


    Dim logDirectoryProperties As System.IO.DirectoryInfo
    If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("C:\backup\errorlogs") Then
        logDirectoryProperties = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectoryInfo("C:\backup\errorlogs")
    End If
