VB StreamWriter

Dim filename As String = "c:\path\to\file.txt"
If System.IO.File.Exists(filename) Then

End If

C# StreamWriter

using System.Text;
using System.IO;

string filename = "c:\path\to\file.txt";
//'using' structure allows for proper disposal of stream.
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename"))
{
    writer.WriteLine("Text to Write\n");

C# File.Exists()

using System;
using System.IO;
                
public class Program
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        string filePath = "somePath";
    
        if(File.Exists(filePath))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Exists");
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Does not exist");    
        }

}

Can also be used in a ternary operator.

Console.WriteLine(File.Exists(pathToFile) ? "Exists" : "Does not exist");
