I do not understand how to find out if a file is hidden in the path

Answer 1

You can use the Attributesclass property FileInfo ..

var fInfo = new FileInfo(..);
if (fInfo.Attributes.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Hidden))
{

}

Answer 2

This is what you need:

bool isHidden = (File.GetAttributes(fileName) & FileAttributes.Hidden) == FileAttributes.Hidden;

Answer 3

For single-file operations, prefer static methods System.IO.File(and for multiple operations in a single file System.IO.FileInfo):

bool isHidden1 = File.GetAttributes(path).HasFlag(FileAttributes.Hidden);

//bool isHidden2 = (File.GetAttributes(path) & FileAttributes.Hidden) > 0; 
//bool isHidden3 = ((int)File.GetAttributes(path) & 2) > 0;

Answer 4

file.Attributes.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Hidden)

Returns true/false
