This brings us to the conclusion of the first part of this two part series. Today, I began with the intention of creating a no-frills "Photo Gallery" application. To that end, I've already shown you how to organize the photographs on the server. This was followed by an introduction to the Directory() and DirectorInfo() objects; the main difference between these two counterparts of the System.IO .NET assembly is that the former contains mostly static methods whereas the latter does not. For the sake of completeness, I have also shown you how to create and delete folder(s) on the server in your ASP.NET scripts.
In the second part of the tutorial, I shall concentrate on files. You should not be surprised to learn that once again, we have to deal with two different objects: the File() and the FileInfo() objects. Finally, I will demonstrate my no-frills "Photo Gallery" application - something that all of you have been waiting for with bated breath.
