Dim dir As String = "c:\78fe9lk" ' If this directory does not exist, a DirectoryNotFoundException is thrown ' when attempting to set the current directory. Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(dir) Catch ex As System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException ' Let the user know that the directory did not exist. Console.WriteLine("Directory not found: " + ex.Message) End Try End Sub End Module
