Hi Paras, In Programm class (Start up Class) and within the static method try to check the data is exist in registry or not. if not exist then call your method, and if not exist then call the your method. Code string filename; string KeyName="your registry key name where your text exist"; // Opening the registry key RegistryKey rk = baseRegistryKey ; // Open a subKey as read-only RegistryKey sk1 = rk.OpenSubKey(subKey); // If the RegistrySubKey doesn't exist -> (null) if ( sk1 == null ) { //Call Method } else { try { // If the RegistryKey exists I get its value // or null is returned. filename= ( string )sk1.GetValue(KeyName.ToUpper()); } catch (Exception e) { // AAAAAAAAAAARGH, an error! MessageBox.Show (e, " Reading registry " + KeyName.ToUpper()); } } if(File.Exists("full path")==true) { MessageBox.Show("File Exists"); } else { MessageBox.Show("File not Exists"); } Kindly mark as answer , if it helps to you Thanks, Kailash
