Remarks

This property should be evaluated before calling a method that needs to access the underlying physical item (For example, FileSystemItem.CopyTo), otherwise these methods will throw an exception.

The property will always reflect the physical item's existence.

FileSystemItem.Refresh does not need to be called before accessing this property.
