Dropbox API Getting file metadata Handling the error when getting metadata for a non-existing path using the Dropbox .NET library
Example
This example uses the Dropbox .NET library to try to get the metadata for an item at a particular path, and checks for a NotFound error:
try {
var metadata = await this.client.Files.GetMetadataAsync("/non-existant path");
Console.WriteLine(metadata.Name);
} catch (Dropbox.Api.ApiException<Dropbox.Api.Files.GetMetadataError> e) {
if (e.ErrorResponse.IsPath) {
var pathError = e.ErrorResponse.AsPath.Value;
if (pathError.IsNotFound) {
Console.WriteLine ("File or folder not found.");
} else {
Console.WriteLine (pathError);
}
} else {
Console.WriteLine (e.ErrorResponse);
}
}
