IsolatedStorageFileStream Constructor (String, FileMode, FileAccess, FileShare, IsolatedStorageFile)

Initializes a new instance of the IsolatedStorageFileStream class giving access to the file designated by path, in the specified mode, with the specified file access, using the file sharing mode specified by share, and in the context of the IsolatedStorageFile specified by isf.

Namespace:  System.IO.IsolatedStorage
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Sub New ( _
    path As String, _
    mode As FileMode, _
    access As FileAccess, _
    share As FileShare, _
    isf As IsolatedStorageFile _
)
Visual Basic (Usage)
Dim path As String
Dim mode As FileMode
Dim access As FileAccess
Dim share As FileShare
Dim isf As IsolatedStorageFile

Dim instance As New IsolatedStorageFileStream(path, mode, _
    access, share, isf)
C#
public IsolatedStorageFileStream(
    string path,
    FileMode mode,
    FileAccess access,
    FileShare share,
    IsolatedStorageFile isf
)
Visual C++
public:
IsolatedStorageFileStream(
    String^ path, 
    FileMode mode, 
    FileAccess access, 
    FileShare share, 
    IsolatedStorageFile^ isf
)
JScript
public function IsolatedStorageFileStream(
    path : String, 
    mode : FileMode, 
    access : FileAccess, 
    share : FileShare, 
    isf : IsolatedStorageFile
)

Parameters

path
Type: System..::.String
The relative path of the file within isolated storage.
mode
Type: System.IO..::.FileMode
One of the FileMode values.
access
Type: System.IO..::.FileAccess
A bitwise combination of the FileAccess values.
share
Type: System.IO..::.FileShare
A bitwise combination of the FileShare values.
isf
Type: System.IO.IsolatedStorage..::.IsolatedStorageFile
The IsolatedStorageFile in which to open the IsolatedStorageFileStream.
Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
ArgumentException

The path is badly formed.

ArgumentNullException

The path is nullNothingnullptra null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).

FileNotFoundException

No file was found and the mode is set to Open.

IsolatedStorageException

isf does not have a quota.

Remarks

The mode parameter indicates whether a new file should be created or an existing one used. The access parameter includes read-only, read/write, and write-only.

Caution noteCaution:

When you compile a set of characters with a particular cultural setting and retrieve those same characters with a different cultural setting, the characters might not be interpretable, and can cause an exception to be thrown.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates the use of this constructor. For the complete context of this example, see the IsolatedStorageFileStream overview.

Visual Basic
' Open or create a writable file.
Dim target As New IsolatedStorageFileStream("Archive\ " & Me.userName, _
     FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write, isoFile)
C#
IsolatedStorageFileStream source =
    new IsolatedStorageFileStream(this.userName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate,
    isoFile);
// This is the stream from which data will be read.
Console.WriteLine("Is the source file readable? " + (source.CanRead ? "true" : "false"));
Console.WriteLine("Creating new IsolatedStorageFileStream for Archive.");

// Open or create a writable file.
IsolatedStorageFileStream target =
    new IsolatedStorageFileStream("Archive\\ " + this.userName,
    FileMode.OpenOrCreate,
    FileAccess.Write,
    FileShare.Write,
    isoFile);
Visual C++
// This is the stream to which data will be written.
IsolatedStorageFileStream^ source = gcnew IsolatedStorageFileStream( this->userName,FileMode::OpenOrCreate,isoFile );

// This is the stream from which data will be read.
Console::WriteLine( "Is the source file readable?  {0}", (source->CanRead ? (String^)"true" : "false") );
Console::WriteLine( "Creating new IsolatedStorageFileStream for Archive." );

// Open or create a writable file.
IsolatedStorageFileStream^ target = gcnew IsolatedStorageFileStream( String::Concat("Archive\\",this->userName),FileMode::OpenOrCreate,FileAccess::Write,FileShare::Write,isoFile );
