Determining if an XDocument File Exists?

An XML file is still a file; just use File. Exists Just a cautionary note, though: Don't bother trying to check File. Exists immediately before loading the document.

There is no way to guarantee that the file will still be there when you try to open it. Writing this code: if (File. Exists(fileName)) { XDocument doc = XDocument.

Load(fileName); // etc. } is a race condition and always wrong. Instead, just try loading the document and catch the exception try { XDocument doc = XDocument. Load(fileName); // Process the file } catch (FileNotFoundException) { // File does not exist - handle the error }.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
