I have a legacy application that looks for files in a directory. It does not handle missing files very well. What I want to do is “capture” the file not found errors, and send another file back to the calling app instead. Similar to how you could handle a 404 error on a webserver and return something based on what the requested URL was, except on the local file system.

Is this possible? And more preferably, is it possible in .Net?
