file manipulation.

[vijy]

The Copy method you're using will allow you to specify whether or not to overwrite existing files.

no sir, they are ovewriting the file manually in the client side.

So i cant avoid the user to overwrite the file..

So if i validate the difference between the modified time? its a correct process,..Any disavantage in this..

Dim sServer As String = "#######\128974_1_En_2_Chapter.xml"
        Dim sClient As String = "C:\Enfocus\Deva\128974_1_En_2_Chapter.xml"
        If File.Exists(sServer) Then
            If File.Exists(sClient) Then File.Delete(sClient)
 
            File.Copy(sServer, sClient)
        End If
        Dim odDate As DateTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(sClient)
        Dim osDate As DateTime = File.GetLastWriteTime(sServer)
 
        'If Date.Compare(osDate, odDate) > 1 Then
        If DateDiff(DateInterval.Second, osDate, odDate)  > 1 Then
            MessageBox.Show("failure-Wrong file")
 
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("Success-Right File")
        End If
