How can I check the file type of an object in my listbox?
I'm returning a list of strings from an online server and simply wanting to have an event that gets fired when I click on an item that has a .folder file type at the end.
I've tried looking but can't find anything.
Can someone please provide a link or sample code so I can achieve what I would like to achieve.
You could include the FileInfo assembly and use FileInfo.Extension.
FileInfo finfo = new FileInfo(fileName);
string fileName = finfo.Extension
private void listBox1.SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
string item ;
item = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
if(item.EndsWith(".folder"))
{
//it's a .folder, raise the event or react as needed
}
}
If you just want the folder extension event
private void listBox1.SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
string file=listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
var ext = Path.GetExtension(file);
if(ext ==".folder")
{
//raise event
}
}
This should work for you;
private void listBox1.SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
string item=listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
int index=item.LastIndexOf('.');
if(index>=0)//It's a valid file
{
string extension=item.Substring(index+1,item.Length-index-1);
if(extension=="folder")
{
MessageBox.Show("Yes it's a .folder");
}
}
else if(index==-1)//Not a valid file
{
MessageBox.Show("The selected file is invalid.");
}
}
