C # in a Nutshell, Second Edition

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