In C# console applications, isn't there a simpler way than handling exceptions to just find out if a text file of a given name exists in the current directory? I'm talking about something along the same lines as the following methods:

create text file:

Code:

StreamWriter SW = File.CreateText ("MyFile.txt");

open existing text file:

Code:

StreamReader SR = File.OpenText ("MyFile.txt");

append to text file:

Code:

StreamWriter SW  = File.AppendText ("MyFile.txt");
