title: How to check if a folder exists automatically without ".click" function
body: <p>I have a problem.  I have a program written in Visual Basic using Visual Studio 2013 and it works good.  The problem is that I want the program to check if a folder exists on program start-up and return a text value in a label without having to manually "click" the label.  I have searched and cannot find anything, maybe I'm not searching for the right thing?</p>
  
  <p>Here is a sample of the check:</p>
  
  <pre><code>''//ASDG_JR check
  Private Sub lbl_asdg_jr_pres_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles lbl_asdg_jr_pres.Click
      If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists(user_txt_dir.Text &amp; "\@ASDG_JR_v0.14") Then
          lbl_asdg_jr_pres.Text = "All good!"
          btn_asdg_di.Text = ".zip file downloaded already"
          btn_asdg_unzip.Text = "unzipped and installed already"
          btn_asdg_di.Enabled = False
          btn_asdg_unzip.Enabled = False
      Else
          lbl_asdg_jr_pres.Text = "Use buttons -----&gt;"
          btn_asdg_di.Enabled = True
          btn_asdg_unzip.Enabled = True
      End If
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
