....

I can not understand how to know that whether the file is hidden on the way

Answer 1

You can use Attributes property of FileInfo class..

var fInfo = new FileInfo(..);
if (fInfo.Attributes.HasFlag(FileAttributes.Hidden))
{

}

Answer 2

For a single file operation prefer the System.IO.File static methods ( and for multiple operations on the same file System.IO.FileInfo ) :

bool isHidden1 = File.GetAttributes(path).HasFlag(FileAttributes.Hidden);

//bool isHidden2 = (File.GetAttributes(path) & FileAttributes.Hidden) > 0; 
//bool isHidden3 = ((int)File.GetAttributes(path) & 2) > 0;
