Hour 19. Performing File Operations

It's very difficult to imagine any application other than a tiny utility program that doesn't make use of the file system. In this hour, you'll learn how to use the controls to make it easy for a user to browse and select files. In addition, you'll learn how to use the System.IO.File and System.IO.Directory objects to manipulate the file system. Using these objects, you can delete files and directories, move them, rename them, and more. These objects are powerful, but please remember: Play nice!

The highlights of this hour include the following:

  • Using the Open File Dialog and Save File Dialog controls

  • Manipulating files with System.IO.File

  • Manipulating directories with System.IO.Directory
