Methods
Name | Description | |
---|---|---|
AppendAllLines(String, IEnumerable<String>) | When it is called by trusted applications, appends lines to a file, and then closes the file. | |
AppendAllLines(String, IEnumerable<String>, Encoding) | When it is called by trusted applications, appends lines to a file by using a specified encoding, and then closes the file. | |
AppendAllText(String, String) | When it is called by trusted applications, appends the specified string to the file, and then closes the file. If the file does not exist, this method creates a file, writes the specified string to the file, then closes the file. | |
AppendAllText(String, String, Encoding) | When called by trusted applications, appends the specified string to the file, creating the file if it does not already exist. | |
AppendText | When it is called by trusted applications, creates a StreamWriter that appends UTF-8 encoded text to an existing file. | |
Copy(String, String) | When it is called by trusted applications, copies an existing file to a new file. Overwriting a file of the same name is not allowed. | |
Copy(String, String, Boolean) | When it is called by trusted applications, copies an existing file to a new file. Overwriting a file of the same name is allowed. | |
Create(String) | When it is called by trusted applications, creates or overwrites a file in the specified path. | |
Create(String, Int32) | When it is called by trusted applications, creates or overwrites the specified file. | |
CreateText | When it is called by trusted applications, creates or opens a file for writing UTF-8 encoded text. | |
Delete | When it is called by trusted applications, deletes the specified file. An exception is not thrown if the specified file does not exist. | |
Exists | When it is called by trusted applications, determines whether the specified file exists. | |
GetAttributes | Gets the FileAttributes of the file on the path. | |
GetCreationTime | When it is called by trusted applications, returns the creation date and time of the specified file or directory. | |
GetLastAccessTime | When it is called by trusted applications, returns the date and time the specified file or directory was last accessed. | |
GetLastWriteTime | When it is called by trusted applications, returns the date and time the specified file or directory was last written to. | |
Move | When it is called by trusted applications, moves a specified file to a new location, providing the option to specify a new file name. | |
Open(String, FileMode) | When it is called by trusted applications, opens a FileStream on the specified path with read/write access. | |
Open(String, FileMode, FileAccess) | When it is called by trusted applications, opens a FileStream on the specified path, with the specified mode and access. | |
Open(String, FileMode, FileAccess, FileShare) | When it is called by trusted applications, opens a FileStream on the specified path, having the specified mode with read, write, or read/write access and the specified sharing option. | |
OpenRead | When it is called by trusted applications, opens an existing file for reading. | |
OpenText | When it is called by trusted applications, opens an existing UTF-8 encoded text file for reading. | |
OpenWrite | When it is called by trusted applications, opens an existing file for writing. | |
ReadAllBytes | When it is called by trusted applications, opens a binary file, reads the contents of the file into a byte array, and then closes the file. | |
ReadAllText(String) | When it is called by trusted applications, opens a text file, reads all lines of the file, and then closes the file. | |
ReadAllText(String, Encoding) | When it is called by trusted applications, opens a file, reads all lines of the file with the specified encoding, and then closes the file. | |
ReadLines(String) | When it is called by trusted applications, reads the lines of a file. | |
ReadLines(String, Encoding) | When it is called by trusted applications, read the lines of a file that has a specified encoding. | |
SetAttributes | Security Critical. Sets the specified FileAttributes of the file on the specified path. | |
WriteAllBytes | When it is called by trusted applications, creates a new file, writes the specified byte array to the file, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten. | |
WriteAllLines(String, IEnumerable<String>) | When it is called by trusted applications, creates a new file, writes a collection of strings to the file, and then closes the file. | |
WriteAllLines(String, IEnumerable<String>, Encoding) | When it is called by trusted applications, creates a new file by using the specified encoding, writes a collection of strings to the file, and then closes the file. | |
WriteAllText(String, String) | When it is called by trusted applications, creates a new file, writes the specified string to the file, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten. | |
WriteAllText(String, String, Encoding) | When it is called by trusted applications, creates a new file, writes the specified string to the file using the specified encoding, and then closes the file. If the target file already exists, it is overwritten. |
