title: Check if File exists in directory ignoring the extension
body: <p>I am using .NET 2.0 and Linq is out of question. I would like to check if file exists inside a directory <strong>without knowledge of the file extension</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I just need this logic done. </p>
  
  <p>1.Check File exists in Directory using String Filename provided using search pattern leaving out the extension of the File</p>
  
  <p>2.Get the Files if they exists and Databind to provide <code>Download links</code>.If file does not exist then start uploading the File.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update:</strong>
  <code>Directory.GetFiles()</code> and <code>DirectoryInfo.GetFiles()</code> indeed solves the part where in i check for File existence. As for the performance regarding FileInfo objects, these were only solution to my requirements of databinding to provide download links</p>
