Can you show us the actual code?

* The File.Exists obviously works correctly

I know my file is there,
my file name is like this "label_me_red.deploy"

How about showing the actual code then?

Friendsaa 18-Apr-13 5:16am

"label_me_red.ico.deploy" is string from StreamReader.ReadLine()
if(File.Exists("label_me_red.ico.deploy"))
{
// File
}
else
{
// Folder
}

You are using relative path here. Are you sure your current path is the one you think it is?
Use Directory.GetCurrentDirectory[^] method to check.
