Problems opening a file.....?

[David Law]

Hi

I have been playing around with Visual c# and I'm trying to work out
whether its me or c# (I'm from a c background btw). Have created a
simple little program to read the contents of a file in ....
Now I have found something rather strange (the files do exist in these
locations) if I use this line in the code stub below ...

FileStream filePTR = new FileStream("C:\\findme.txt",
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

It works...

Yet If I use this line

FileStream filePTR = new FileStream("C:\\Dr1\\Dr2\\findme.txt",
FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);

it doesn't. So am I wondering is it me or am I missing something
fundermental?. Thanks in advance for time and consideration, btw does
c# have a sleep command?or do you just use the
for( int i = 1; i ,= 1000000 ; i++ ){}.

Thanks in advance for your time on this question.

string line;
//Pass the file path and file name to the FileStream
constructor
** FileStream filePTR = new FileStream("C:\\Dr1\
\findme.txt", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(filePTR);
//Read the first line of text
line = sr.ReadLine();
Console.WriteLine(" ... {0} ", line);
sr.Close();
