[John]

Hi

How can I check if a specific folder contains any dll (*.dll) files?

Thanks

One way is to check the Length on the returned array from
System.IO.Directory.GetFiles (path, pattern) method.

Chad,

System.IO.File.Exists()

This method can be used to determine if a certain file exists, but it does
not work with wildcards. As Siva suggests, I would use
'System.IO.Directory.GetFiles':

\\\
Imports System.IO
..
..
..
If Directory.GetFiles(Path, "*.dll").Length > 0 Then
...
Else
...
End If
///

Aah no - it wont. I didnt see the requirement for wildcards.
