First you have to check if the path exists or not before checking file exists like below string path = "yourpath withoout file"; bool pathExists = Directory.Exists(path); Now if the pathExists is returned true, then check for the file exists like below string filePath = "filepath along with file"; bool fileExists = File.Exists(filePath); Also, if you want to create a Folder, string path = "yourpath withoout file"; If(!Directory.Exists(path)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(path); }

To check for specific files use File.Exists(path), which will return a boolean indicating wheter the file at path exists. string curFile = @ "c:	emp	est.txt" ; Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(curFile) ? "File exists." : "File does not exist." ); For more info refer below https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.file.exists?view=netframework-4.8

You can use ADO.Net concepts to update database columns to YES or NO depending upon whether file exists or not
