You could have found this information by searching MSDN[^]

If you read the documentation then there is nothing you will need to ask here regarding this task. Everything is fairly basic and .Net provides direct properties and methods for these tasks.

Check out File and ListView class in object browser. Read about all the properties and methods.

If you're wanting to check for the file that triggered your method use;

public void Example(object sender, FileSystemEventArgs e)
if File.Exists(e.Name)
{
//Code Goes Here
}

The FileSystemEventArgs e is allowing you to reference to the file that's triggered by your method. A good example is if your using FileWatcher or something similar.

I guess Christian doesn't want to do this because he already knows how to. Perhaps you might want to reply to the OP instead.

Christian...
this is only for you...
i don't care about your stupid words bcz i got lots of works to do?
but remeber this,

Once you born to this world you didn't know any thing but when you grow up you learn many thing from social.It could be many ways...you may know more & more things compairing to others now,you may cleaver than other.But once you get to know much more things related to one thing, don't think that you are the man... don't think you know every thing in this world...Every body are not cleaver in every thing... we all learning things day by day...once you learn its easy to use....but the difficult thing is learning a new thing...i guess thats same for every body...

What bloody uni are you guys at - this must be the 3rd or 4th time this has been asked in the last couple of weeks.

Do you not have a tutor/teacher/professor to explain the modules, what are we mind readers!

Do some work you pillock, research, you know where you try and find answers for yourself. The things that make you an outstanding student instead of a statistic.

I am sick of reading posts title "doubt" asking if a topic is enough for a 6 month project. All we have to base a guess on is the stupid subject title and a semi-literate question, and going on that it will probably never get completed.

No. I've implemented an FTP client in about three days. That's the back-end and the GUI. It included a more efficient StreamReader.ReadToEnd implementation, and I put it together simply from reading the documentation

Yes it is enough for 6 month, well at least for you. I'm guessing you have to ask for each loc, and each answer will take up to 1 day (since you have to learn to ask a correct question at cp). An FTP client consists of 150 lines, so this will end in 150 days, leaving thirty days to write the documentation...

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

So, thirty lines of documentation? Wink | ;)

yes and no. there probably is a single professor giving this assignment to all of his students, and now the brighter ones are posting their "doubt" here, one by one. So the bigger question is how many students are at that uni.

I have an idea. Let's temporarily ban all threads with Doubt in the subject, till say, next month. Auto-ban the poster if it's one of his first 5 posts.

Now that is a really bad idea. We have had them now, if Chris starts the ban you suggested, next month we will again be flooded by messages, slightly adjusted:

Doubt, very urgent

i am a msc student.As part of my course completion ,i selected a project
topic "FTP client" Would 5 months be enough to finish it? (for reasons beyond my reach
I already lost an entire month). Could you please explain about its modules?
