 |

well.. sometime when i'm doing some programs that checking if some file is exist in some location i'm doing in the Main method the searching
but it's taking very large space and i wanna do it in other method that comes before the Main method and i want that method will return me the location of the file for exemple:
to search gta at drivers: C,D,E
what i do is
| Code: |
File.Exist("<path at C>");
File.Exist("<path at D>");
File.Exist("<path at E>");
|
and after that i'm asking about them and if one of the is true it says he found GTA at the exect Driver.. how do i do it in method that return the location instad of doing it in the Main method?
some1 please?[/code]

Well, I don't know any other methods than using System.IO;
but why don't you use the '%HOMEDRIVE%' variable, instead of trying different drive letters?

Actually, the 'Program Files' variable would do.
Though it's not good to hardcode it. 
| Code: | if (System.IO.File.Exists("%PROGRAMFILES%\\Rockstar Games\\GTA San Andreas") == true)
{
MessageBox.Show("GTA SA was found.", this.ProductName, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("GTA SA was not found.", this.ProductName, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
} |
By the way, the use of double slashes was intentional.

'%PROGRAMFILES%' is a replacement for writing 'C:\Program Files' (Except, it works for all drive letters.) So there's no need to try searching for the file in C, D, E, Etc.

That's cool; I didn't realize you could use those variables in C#.
Back on topic, I think Xenephobe has it covered.
Though, you might ask the user to input the path for his GTA thing.
