hi all
my program need a particular folder named "data", in which there are some important files....now....i publish my app and when i start it, it returns a directory not found exception...
how can i do to tell the application to go and consider this folder?i think that when publish is done in the new files created there isnt the "data" folder...how can i include this folder in the package?
tnx all
the following code tests if the folder exists and creates it if it does not exist. Hope that is what you wanted:
string
location = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;location = location.Substring(0, location.LastIndexOf(
"\\")); if (!Directory.Exists(location + "\\data")) Directory.CreateDirectory(location + "\\data"); else MessageBox.Show("Folder exists!");ralph
that's not my problem....
u know that there is the directory bin in which there is the executable...well in this directory i've put the folder data and in the code there are some lines:
//copio file default nella cartella selezionata
DirectoryInfo dir1 = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\data");
DirectoryInfo dir2 = new DirectoryInfo(folderName);
AddDefaultFilesToWorkFolder(dir1,dir2,true);
now when i publish my app, in the new fles created there is no reference to the folder data!! for me this folder is too important!!!
i need that this folder must be a part of the new package created
please help
Are you making a msi package?
If yes go to the file systemeditor choose Application Folder and add a folder to it.
