(Page 1 of 8 )
This article is based on a pre-release version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, formerly code-named “Whidbey.” All information contained herein is subject to change. Topics covered include File System Management and its uses, file permissions, and file modes, file access and file shares.
Note: This article uses the following technologies: VB.NET and Windows Forms, File Management in Whidbey/VB.NET -- the beating heart of the technologies that comprise Windows Forms.
This article explains various file management operations such as read or write, retrieving properties or setting the properties or copy or move a file using the Whidbey/Visual Studio.NET environment. I hope this will be helpful in understanding the operation of managing a file.
System.IO.namespace
The input/output operation of file management is handled by the classes in the System.IO.namespace. The System.IO.namespace supports the following activities:
- Reading and writing to binary files, text files etc.
- Reading and writing to data streams
- Basic file support
- Directory support
- Memory streams
- Network streams
You have to include this namespace to your project.
