file exists bugs

dear all,

i have below code. don't know why file.exists return false?? have checked exists.

string path = system.io.path.getdirectoryname(
      system.reflection.assembly.getexecutingassembly().getname().codebase);

               if (file.exists(path + @"\" + dcfile))  /// not exists???

                                                                      //path="file:\c:\program files\......................
                {
                    using (streamreader reader = new streamreader(path + @"\" + dcfile, encoding.ascii))

raymond,

the codebase property returns url of path string. because of see "file:\" in front of path. call string.substring() method path behind "file:\".
