check is file created?

Question

I am using SaveDialog to create a file by passing the FileName. I want to open the file after it's created / saved already. is there anyway to check if the file was completely created? because some files will take time (few more seconds) to get created and it will throw an error when I try to open immediatelly after save because the file was not yet created..

If you are using a stream method make sure you use the FLUSH method before attempting to read the file.

Try this way,

using (SaveFileDialog dlg = new SaveFileDialog())
{
    ....
                
    if (dlg.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
    {                    
        if (File.Exists(dlg.FileName))
        {
            Stream stream = dlg.OpenFile();
        }
    }
}

I hope this helps.
