IsolatedStorageFile.CreateDirectory Method
Creates a directory in the isolated storage scope.
Namespace: System.IO.IsolatedStorage
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
Parameters
- dir
- Type: System.String
The relative path of the directory to create within the isolated storage scope.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| IsolatedStorageException | The current code has insufficient permissions to create isolated storage directory. |
| ArgumentNullException | The directory path is null. |
The created directory initially contains no files. If the directory already exists, the CreateDirectory method returns without creating a new directory. The How to: Create Files and Directories in Isolated Storage example demonstrates the use of the CreateDirectory method
The following code example demonstrates the CreateDirectory method. For the complete context of this example, see the IsolatedStorageFile overview.
public double SetNewPrefsForUser() { try { byte inputChar; IsolatedStorageFile isoFile = IsolatedStorageFile.GetStore(IsolatedStorageScope.User | IsolatedStorageScope.Assembly | IsolatedStorageScope.Domain, typeof(System.Security.Policy.Url), typeof(System.Security.Policy.Url)); // If this is not a new user, archive the old preferences and // overwrite them using the new preferences. if (!this.myNewPrefs) { if (isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("Archive").Length == 0) isoFile.CreateDirectory("Archive"); else { 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); Console.WriteLine("Is the target file writable? " + (target.CanWrite ? "true" : "false")); // Stream the old file to a new file in the Archive directory. if (source.IsAsync && target.IsAsync) { // IsolatedStorageFileStreams cannot be asynchronous. However, you // can use the asynchronous BeginRead and BeginWrite functions // with some possible performance penalty. Console.WriteLine("IsolatedStorageFileStreams cannot be asynchronous."); } else { Console.WriteLine("Writing data to the new file."); while (source.Position < source.Length) { inputChar = (byte)source.ReadByte(); target.WriteByte(inputChar); } // Determine the size of the IsolatedStorageFileStream // by checking its Length property. Console.WriteLine("Total Bytes Read: " + source.Length); } // After you have read and written to the streams, close them. target.Close(); source.Close(); } } // Open or create a writable file with a maximum size of 10K. IsolatedStorageFileStream isoStream = new IsolatedStorageFileStream(this.userName, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write, 10240, isoFile); isoStream.Position = 0; // Position to overwrite the old data.
- IsolatedStorageFilePermission
for accessing the isolated storage scope.
- ReflectionPermission
when invoked late-bound through mechanisms such as Type.InvokeMember. Associated enumeration: ReflectionPermissionFlag.MemberAccess
