The System.IO.Directory.Exists method returns True if a file exists.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal _
e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim dir_name As String = Application.StartupPath
If System.IO.Directory.Exists(dir_name) Then
lblDir1.Text = dir_name & " exists"
Else
lblDir1.Text = dir_name & " does not exist"
End If
dir_name = dir_name.Substring(0, _
dir_name.LastIndexOf("\")) & "\Missing"
If System.IO.Directory.Exists(dir_name) Then
lblDir2.Text = dir_name & " exists"
Else
lblDir2.Text = dir_name & " does not exist"
End If
End Sub
