DocumentCreateStarted event Name property is empty

[Anonymous]

Hi

I am opening a document by using Recent Document list of Autocad 2010.

I want to validate the file path of dwg before openning it, when i use the DocumentCreateStarted event of DocumentCollection and try to access the e.Document.Name for validation it shows an empty string. and if document is not available Autocad shows a message "Cannot find the specified drawing file....". i want to handle the event before this message and if file not avialble perform some other action rather than showing a messagebox.

Any help will be great

Thanks

How are you getting to the MRU list?

I'm assuming you have the filename before you try to open the document. If so you can use the .NET FileInfo class and use it's FileInfo.Exists method to see if the file exists before trying to open it.
