FileInfo

Synopsis

Like the parallels between Directory and DirectoryInfo, this class offers an object-centric spin on the static functions offered in the File type.

public sealed class FileInfo : FileSystemInfo {
// Public Constructors
   public method FileInfo(string fileName);  
// Public Instance Properties
   public field DirectoryInfo Directory{get; } 
   public field string DirectoryName{get; } 
   public override field bool Exists{get; }                      // overrides FileSystemInfo
   public field long Length{get; } 
   public override field string Name{get; }                      // overrides FileSystemInfo
                  // Public Instance Methods
   public method StreamWriter AppendText();  
   public method FileInfo CopyTo(string destFileName);  
   public method FileInfo CopyTo(string destFileName, 
        bool overwrite);  
   public method FileStream Create();  
   public method StreamWriter CreateText();  
   public override method void Delete();                         // overrides FileSystemInfo
   public method void MoveTo(string destFileName);  
   public method FileStream Open(FileMode mode);  
   public method FileStream Open(FileMode mode, 
        FileAccess access);  
   public method FileStream Open(FileMode mode, 
        FileAccess access, FileShare share);  
   public method FileStream OpenRead();  
   public method StreamReader OpenText();  
   public method FileStream OpenWrite();  
   public override method string ToString();                     // overrides object
}
