Specifies how the operating system should open a file.

None of the options specified.

The file should be archived. Applications use this attribute to mark files for backup or removal.

The file or directory is encrypted. For a file, this means that all data in the file is encrypted. For a directory, this means that encryption is the default for newly created files and subdirectories.

The file is hidden. Do not include it in an ordinary directory listing.

The file does not have other attributes set. This attribute is valid only if used alone.

The data of a file is not immediately available. This attribute indicates that file data is physically moved to offline storage. This attribute is used by Remote Storage, the hierarchical storage management software. Applications should not arbitrarily change this attribute.

The file is read only. Applications can read the file, but cannot write to or delete it.

The file is part of or used exclusively by an operating system.

The file is being used for temporary storage.

The file is being opened or created for a backup or restore operation. The system ensures that the calling process overrides file security checks when the process has SE_BACKUP_NAME and SE_RESTORE_NAME privileges. You must set this flag to obtain a handle to a directory. A directory handle can be passed to some functions instead of a file handle.

The file is to be deleted immediately after all of its handles are closed, which includes the specified handle and any other open or duplicated handles. If there are existing open handles to a file, the call fails unless they were all opened with the share mode. Subsequent open requests for the file fail, unless the share mode is specified.

There are strict requirements for successfully working with files opened with the flag, for details see the section on "File Buffering" in the online MSDN documentation.

The file data is requested, but it should continue to be located in remote storage. It should not be transported back to local storage. This flag is for use by remote storage systems.

Normal reparse point processing will not occur; an attempt to open the reparse point will be made. When a file is opened, a file handle is returned, whether or not the filter that controls the reparse point is operational. See MSDN documentation for more information.

The file or device is being opened or created for asynchronous I/O.

Access will occur according to POSIX rules. This includes allowing multiple files with names, differing only in case, for file systems that support that naming. Use care when using this option, because files created with this flag may not be accessible by applications that are written for MS-DOS or 16-bit Windows.

Access is intended to be random. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching.

Access is intended to be sequential from beginning to end. The system can use this as a hint to optimize file caching.

Write operations will not go through any intermediate cache, they will go directly to disk.

Provides the base class for both FileInfo and DirectoryInfo objects.

Indicator of file existence. It refreshes each time Refresh() has been called.

Notes to Inheritors: Classes derived from FileSystemInfo can use the FullPath field to determine the full path of the object being manipulated.

The path originally specified by the user, whether relative or absolute.

Deletes a file or directory.

Refreshes the state of the object.

FileSystemInfo.Refresh takes a snapshot of the file from the current file system. Refresh cannot correct the underlying file system even if the file system returns incorrect or outdated information. This can happen on platforms such as Windows 98. Calls must be made to Refresh before attempting to get the attribute information, or the information will be outdated.

A string containing the name with full path.

Gets the system info.

The system info.

Gets or sets the time the current file or directory was last accessed.

When first called, calls Refresh and returns the cached information on APIs to get attributes and so on. On subsequent calls, you must call Refresh to get the latest copy of the information. If the file described in the object does not exist, this property will return 12:00 midnight, January 1, 1601 A.D. (C.E.) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), adjusted to local time.

Gets or sets the time, in coordinated universal time (UTC), that the current file or directory was last accessed

Gets or sets the time when the current file or directory was last written to.

Gets or sets the time, in coordinated universal time (UTC), when the current file or directory was last written to.

For files, gets the name of the file. For directories, gets the name of the last directory in the hierarchy if a hierarchy exists. Otherwise, the Name property gets the name of the directory.

For a directory, Name returns only the name of the parent directory, such as Dir, not c:\Dir. For a subdirectory, Name returns only the name of the subdirectory, such as Sub1, not c:\Dir\Sub1. For a file, Name returns only the file name and file name extension, such as MyFile.txt, not c:\Dir\Myfile.txt.

Defines values that are used with the GetFileAttributes function to specify the information level of the returned data.

The GetFileAttributes function retrieves a standard set of attribute information. The data is returned in a WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA structure.

One greater than the maximum value. Valid values for this enumeration will be less than this value.

Note: for some marshalling reason WIN32_FIND_DATA whould be declared as class not a struct.

Extended length unicode paths (also referred to as long paths) (those starting with \\?\) will not be parsed for wildcards etc., regardless of the setting of this parameter.

Retrieves the full long (or extended) unicode version of the path represented by this instance.

This method takes care of different path conversions to be usable in Unicode variants of the Win32 funcitons (which are internally used throughout AlphaFS). Regular paths are changed like the following: C:\Somewhere\Something.txt \\?\C:\Somewhere\Something.txt \\Somewhere\Something.txt \\?\UNC\Somewhere\Something.txt Already processed paths are preserved untouched so to avoid mistakes of double prefixing. If the path represented by this instance is not an absolute path, or is not rooted, the path of the current directory (and drive) is combined with this path to form an absolute path. The long or extended unicode version of the specified path.

The order of the returned file names is not guaranteed; use the Sort()()() method if a specific sort order is required. Wildcards are permitted. For example, the searchPattern string "*.txt" searches for all file names having an extension of "txt". The searchPattern string "s*" searches for all file names beginning with the letter "s". If there are no files, or no files that match the searchPattern string in the DirectoryInfo, this method returns an empty array.

The string ".." can only be used in searchPattern if it is specified as a part of a valid directory name, such as in the directory name "a..b". It cannot be used to move up the directory hierarchy. If there are no files or directories, or no files or directories that match the searchPattern string in the DirectoryInfo, this method returns an empty array.

Moves a DirectoryInfo instance and its contents to a new path.

The name and path to which to move this directory. The destination cannot be directory with the identical name. It can be an existing directory to which you want to add this directory as a subdirectory. This method throws an IOException if, for example, you try to move c:\mydir to c:\public, and c:\public already exists. You must specify "c:\\public\\mydir" as the destDirName parameter, or specify a new directory name such as "c:\\newdir". This method permits moving a directory to a read-only directory.
