    Corrupt Directory and DirectoryInfo

    Sory if this is in the wrong group but wasn't exactly
    sure where to post.

    I am using the DirectoryInfo class in VB.NET 2003 to
    enumerate a filesystem and calculate different statistics
    on the file distribution and size, however if there is a
    directory or file that is corrupt a mesage box stating
    the "The file or directory is corrupt and unreadable
    please run chkdsk." The problem is this mesaage box
    halts the execution of my program until the ok button is
    clicked. Does anyone know how to supress this message.

    Thanks
    Pete

      Are you wrapping the code that's accessing the files/directories in a try
      catch? If not, I belive you can just eat the exception and processing will
      continue as normal.

          Yes the code is wraped in try/catch, and it isnot
          catching the error. It is not like your standard
          exception it is just generating that message box and
          blocking execution until ok is clicked, my code does not
          even have a call to msgbox in it any where.

              Hi,

              It may require a call to the Win32 API SetErrorMode perhaps?


              Cheers
