[RESOLVED] [2005] Converting my vb.net 2003 to vb.net 2005

[shyguyjeff]

elow everyone i have here my code and i want to convert it to vb.net 2005. How can I do it? really need help.

  If File.Exists Then

            dsStore.ReadXml(xmlFile)
            With cmbStore
                .DataSource = dsStore.Tables("Store")
                .ValueMember = "name"
            End With
        Else

The "File" there will appear as an error saying Name is not declared but on my vb.net syntax it will not appear as an error. How can I do it guys? Thanks in advance and God Bless..

It's not a conversion issue. That's not valid VB.NET 2003 either. In either version the File.Exists method requires a parameter containing a file path that you want to check for the existence of:

If File.Exists(someFilePath) Then

That said, The File class is a member of the System.IO namespace. Again, regardless of your version you must either import that namespace or qualify the class name.

The only way that you weren't getting an error is if somewhere else in your code a variable "File" was declared, along with a filepath.
