Example

The following example demonstrates an error that causes the System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException exception to be thrown. In this case, the /Mistake/examples/ directory does not exist and therefore cannot be located.

C# Example
using System;
using System.IO;
class DirectoryNotFoundExample {
 public static void Main () {
 string badPath = "/Mistake/examples/";
 try {
 Directory.GetFiles(badPath);
 }
 catch (DirectoryNotFoundException e) {
 Console.WriteLine("Caught: {0}",e.Message);
 }
 }
}

The output is

Caught: Could not find a part of the path "C:\Mistake\examples".
