all it gives me is an IOException.....i have tried catching the derived
exceptions from the IOException class, like DirectoryNotFoundException and
FileNotFoundException, etc...but it skips them and only catches the base
IOException.

But what is the *message* of the exception?

i have this to catch the exception

catch(Exception e){ return e.Message;}

and all it returns is "IOException"..thats all e.Message contains.

I suggest you print out the whole exception - stack trace and
everything. That may help.

Well, instead of returning e.Message, return e.ToString().
Alternatively, catch it in the debugger and examine the stack trace
there.
