	string filePath
)

Parameters

filePath: Type: System String
The file path.

Return Value

True if the file starts with an STDF header; otherwise, false.

Remarks

The method throws exception only in case of I/O problems, and never when there are format issues. The reason is to avoid inconvenient hangs in debugger sessions, when trap on exception is turned on and the application searches for a matching file type.
