0573 File and FileInfo
<![CDATA[
FileInfo offers most of the File's static methods in instance form.
FileInfo also add some additional properties such as Extension, Length, IsReadOnly, and Directory.
For example:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(@"c:\g\customer.xml");
Console.WriteLine(fi.Exists); // false
using (TextWriter w = fi.CreateText())
w.Write("Some text");
Console.WriteLine(fi.Exists);
fi.Refresh();
Console.WriteLine(fi.Exists);
Console.WriteLine(fi.Name);
Console.WriteLine (fi.FullName);
Console.WriteLine (fi.DirectoryName);
Console.WriteLine (fi.Directory.Name);
Console.WriteLine (fi.Extension);
Console.WriteLine (fi.Length);
fi.Encrypt();
fi.Attributes ^= FileAttributes.Hidden; // (Toggle hidden flag)
fi.IsReadOnly = true;
Console.WriteLine(fi.Attributes); // ReadOnly,Archive,Hidden,Encrypted
Console.WriteLine(fi.CreationTime);
fi.MoveTo(@"c:\temp\FileInfoX.txt");
DirectoryInfo di = fi.Directory;
Console.WriteLine(di.Name);
Console.WriteLine (di.FullName);
Console.WriteLine (di.Parent.FullName);
di.CreateSubdirectory ("SubFolder");
}
}
